Sensate Focus - Déviation Heat Treated

Review by Nick Gillard-Byers

Déviation Heat Treated is the latest album by Sensate Focus, a project led by Mark Fell, an established experimental electronic musician. The album features nine tracks of abstract, glitchy sounds that explore the possibilities of electronic music.

The album opens with "X," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its fractured beats and dissonant melodies. From there, the album moves through a series of tracks that explore different textures and rhythms, from the jittery "Y" to the more atmospheric "Z."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "W," which features a pulsing, hypnotic beat that gradually builds in intensity over the course of the track. Another highlight is "V," which features a more melodic sound and a driving rhythm that gives the track a sense of urgency.

Summary by Nick Gillard-Byers

Throughout the album, Sensate Focus demonstrates a mastery of sound design, using complex textures and rhythms to create a unique sonic landscape. Fans of experimental electronic music will find plenty to enjoy on Déviation Heat Treated, which is a challenging but rewarding listen.
