Just noticed no thread for this track.

This is currently on heavy repeat for me. I'm loving the loose, almost jamming sound to it, with music cues harking back to Prophecy.

At about a minute thirty, I could swear they were sampling Hiscroes or Breaking Nehushtan.
P.S. Pull my finger

I like how it transitions into the quieter 2nd half with all the bleeps and bloops coming to the surface

I think a thread disappeared, but this track I'd described as Autechrian (in the latter half). The digital percussion reminds me of LP5/Ep7/Draft ... "Arch Carrier" would be a good example.

And the sequence at 1:30 - 2:15 ish is just breathtaking.

Possibly the most accomplished track on the album and certainly will be in the running for eventual (favorite(s).

Upon first listen, this is certainly on the favorites from the album. That transition into the second half to the fade out at the end gave me consistent goose bumps.

I think thats a bit of a stretch to be honest.

To me it sounds like they made their own style that nobody else has done before.

I'm pretty sure B09 from R35TT is sampled in this track. Probably my favorite of the of the album, especially with the end progression.

One of my current favorites. Vocals are mad. Latter half almost has a Detroit electro feel? Drexcia/Elektroids.

This one got lost a bit during my first listen through last night amongst the whole album. Glad I've discovered it properly today, it's such a rich track, weaving its way around the simple beat.

This track really hit me good on the first listen. Further listens have only solidified it as a fave...love the latter half of the song's subdued bitcrushed/glitched/detuned beat. Vocal samples in the first bit are fantastic!
The preparation for a dive is always a tense time.

I think this is where the vocal sample is from:

The back half of this has an unusual sparsity / economy / chugging-along feel to the beat that reminds me of this track 3/4s into SxT

Awesome tune.
I have a few dilemmas. ..
1) I’m not sure how much I can turn up the bass on my sub for this without shaking the room to pieces. ??
2) I feel like I could really dance to the rhythm but not sure where to start or in what style…

One of my favorites in this album, so organic and subtle.

Definitely a subliminal lady whisper for like 0.5s, as many times on TH at 3:30 in the left channel.

Or I am being crazy.
This may sound interesting reversed.

I've probably listened to all of Inferno maybe 5 or 6 times now and this is one that I'm just not connecting with yet. Hopefully that'll change over time. I think long term this might prove to be quite polarising.

The second section I felt was boards of canada stripped to their bare essentials. Devolution one might say? Gorgeous. I don't get any of the comparisons either. This was a really unique track.
