The A side is dedicated to the track Hubble, the original and then the reconstruction. The original starts with a subtle yet firm four/four kick, surrounded by atmospheric pads, and spacey, dubbed out, metallic echoes. Next an acidic bassline interacts with track as if an alien lifeform trying to communicate with it. Subtle builds and drops in intensity and volume of the pads and spacey echoes compliment the acid bassline that comes back in, which is now stronger, and then a more intense percussive element comes in. Awesome, deep, dubby, atmospheric piece of electronic music. The reconstruction, Hubble Red Shift, is a four/four, deep melodic techno cut. A solid kick, echoing stabs, pads and then tougher electronic stabs including an acidic stab, morph as the percussion increases. Nicely programmed, it builds and drops throughout but keeps the story of the original. The track title conjures up thoughts of travelling through to the unknown parts of space, this track could soundtrack part of that journey, atmospheric and driving. A fantastic reconstruction, when listened to together you can hear the elements of the original, this feels like it continues from the original, almost like a natural progression from the deep and dubby to the more driving.The B side presents Supernova. This is another four/four techno cut. This time the subtle bass gives it instant head nod, then an almost classical melody feels like it is being poured over the top. Then in comes the percussion almost like a distant 808 electro percussion line has got caught up around the edge of this supernova. I love the progression of this, some really nice not obvious builds and drops, loads more elements including pads come in and out without it ever feeling crowded. The last track of the EP, and reconstruction of the previous track, Supernova Blue Shift. This starts pretty much from the off with a melodic, almost melancholy bassline, swamped, almost drowning in hopeful,mysterious sounding pads. Percussion builds and drops around these two competing elements. This is a very original sounding, interesting track, and a great way to round off a third incredible release from VR.excerpt of review by Matt Sever for Timeline Music
