Consume Adapt Create has been Daniel Myer’s largest and most successful departure from industrial and EBM since Haujobb’s 1999 album, Ninetynine. This latest release from Myer’s Architect project is a contemporary fusion of dark breaks, drum & bass, hardcore and dubstep. While Myer should be praised for masking any influences in previous work—including prior Architect releases—it’s refreshing to compare these new tracks to other artists. “So I Went Out” is reminiscent of something off a Broken Note release, while “The Beauty and the Beat (Rokka)” takes cues from artists like Enduser, Dieselboy and Silent Witness. Beneath these influences though, lies a core of solid arrangement, unique soundscapes, heavily distorted basslines and complex beats.

To further appreciate Consume Adapt Create, check out these other notable releases from Myer: Haujobb – Solutions for a Small Planet, Haujobb – Ninetynine, Haujobb – Vertical Theory, Destroid – Silent World, Architect – Galactic Supermarket and Clear Vision – Deception. Check Discogs and Wikipedia for a full (and ridiculously extensive) discography.  ~ tom
