Why it's here

Incense & Black Light sits firmly inside the Deepchord/Chain Reaction dub-techno tradition, balancing floor discipline against ambient wash. Rod Modell's strength is textural: the music feels spacious and never weightless, and the dub architecture remains sturdy enough to carry the haze. It closes on 'Into Day' and 'Morning Again'. That is a dub-techno record admitting what time it is.
