Lower Lip Interface is pretty much an album of straight up goth-club dance music. It is heavy on the distorted synths, full of zombie and horror movie samples, and even the song titles are tongue in cheek occult refferences ("Caballa Smells Funny," "A Caine in the Brain"). Architect has a tight formula and he does it well, but as formulas go he just holds to it a little too much. He heavily uses the same two-step break, which gets pretty old after a while, especially at the slower tempo he predominantly uses.
Out of the 13 tracks on here, about five are great. "Stairway" is two of them, one being the exciting original and the other being Nebulo's remix that he thoroughly makes his own. The rest is pretty much filler. Not to say that anything on this album is bad, but it feels like there's a little too much music for too little original material. Despite a few contemporary flashes, this album could have come out ten years ago.
