June 1940: Messerschmitt from Luftwaffe invade UK coasts: the battle of Britain has begun! Ok, but "what is the link between this tragic event and Neil Keating's fourth release on Unearthly?" will you say ! A fearsome intro on "Bombers Over South London" that will immerge you into one of WWII darkest chapters: disillusioned comments from the same period, muffled buzzing from the planes, devastating and distant explosions, then a powerful electro rhythm from which you won't escape. This EP is worth buying only for this harmful title, perfectly completed by Kaos Kiel soundtrack "Frau", industrial sound like "Arcade Kit" and Freddy Fresh influenced analogical breakbeat "This Is London". After early techno experiments, next Audio Illusion signature seems to be on the right track. Promising!
