Shawn Rudiman - Monolithic Soul Installment III

Review by Otis London Simmons

Monolithic Soul Installment III is the latest album from Pittsburgh-based electronic musician Shawn Rudiman. The album is a journey through the depths of techno, industrial and ambient music, showcasing Rudiman's mastery of sound design and production.

The album opens with "Broken Landscapes," a haunting ambient track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Rudiman takes the listener on a wild ride through the dark and brooding world of techno. Tracks like "Conduit" and "The Distance Between Us" are heavy and driving, with pounding beats and ominous synth lines.

Throughout the album, Rudiman plays with textures and tones, creating a rich and immersive sonic landscape. The tracks are layered and complex, but never feel cluttered or overwhelming. There's a sense of restraint and control to Rudiman's production that keeps the listener engaged and focused.
