"Superior State" gathers twelve miniatures of isolationist studies by Adelaide artist Leitmotiv Limbo (Elijah Värttö). Over the past few decades the project has tracked a history of quietly insistent experimentation, embracing several technologies (invented instruments; analogue filters; drum synth) to sketch desolate, cavernous structures, sometimes performed in reverberant spaces, such as church halls, which gifts the recordings a ritualistic air.

"Superior State" is more focused on rhythms and pulses, resulting in a beautifully sculpted collection of poetic vignettes, with trace elements of artists like Pan Sonic, Dead Voices On Air, Werkbund, or Asmus Tietchens. Intensely evocative music, recalling electricity pulsing through wires; the humming of the central nervous system; the quiet hiss of deserted computer laboratories; the pulsations of plant life; the molecular vibration of atoms.
