Vital Weekly:
"Dark Passage Records is, sadly, not the most active label. The latest is by the honcho here, Martyn Reid, who works as Depletion. I reviewed two of his earlier releases (Vital Weekly 1248 and 1282) and liked his bleak, industrial music. For this new cassette, he lists his equipment, which includes a Korg MS-20, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, MFB Nanozwerg, Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer, Memory Man, Cathedral and 4500 effects units and tape loops, various objects and domestic appliances. The music is dark and obscured, industrial and dystopian, yet not, so I believe, all about deafening noise. Before, I was thinking of Italy's MB around the time he switched from noise to more darkish ambient, circa 'The Plain Truth', and that is what I still think when I hear 'Decadance Transfer'. The only difference is that Depletion keeps his pieces shorter, between four and ten minutes. In each of these, he creates a haunted atmosphere of buzzing tones and murky loops with sounds unknown. In the 'Exhumation Process', these loops might contain voices with a repeated melodic touch. Only occasionally, there is a piercing sound, or sometimes that could, remotely, be called a loop. Within each track, there is a bit of development; Depletion doesn't like stasis too much, which is excellent for once in this kind of music. Over fifty minutes of pleasantly spooky music - now that's what I want! I wish there were a bit more of this. (FdW)"
