Already some months before released, the latest full-length and still freely downloadable album of the Russian one-man project T_ERROR 404 gives us an update about the musically coarse of the second owner of the Alter-X promotion group, Mr. Denoizer. With 'Modify' he could create a detailed follow-up to the last release 'Million Thoughts', as this one turns out to offer a playing time of more than 90 minutes. Generally Denoizer continues his path, to offer straight and speedy Electro/Industrial tunes, which tend to integrate a colorful fusion between different music styles like Dark Electro, TBM, Synthpop or Powernoise-like inserts. There's is enough stuff to share some wild-Pogo-like dancefloor movements ('TransCommunication', 'Modify'), while those energizing tracks like 'Angel (Cloned)' offer a good Powernoise-entertainment. But personal favorites to me are the more clearer, more classical arranged Dark Electro tunes like 'Exhalation' (good Russian voice samples, good synth-pads and interesting, temporary break-beats), or 'Out Of Body' (eardrum-cutting Hi-Q sounds, nice effect-processing on the vocals...). Not to forget the 3 remix contributions by the Belarusian up and coming Harsh-EBM-talent DIVERSANT: 13, ZWEIFELHAFT and a collaboration with project of DJ Jana Dark, DARK RAD, on the track 'Shade'. All of them offer a still danceable, but of course different sounding interpretation of the T_ERROR 404 recordings. That there's also hidden a bit humor behind this project, proves the cover version on a Mark Oh track 'Tears Don't Lie', which concludes this long clocking and very diverse produced release. I'm not that sure if I should prefer this one compared to the predecessor or vice versa - no musically direction or a planned float of an album seems to be foreseeable on 'Modify', which makes it a bit difficult and demanding to follow all tracks after another. It does good to hear, that Mr. Denoizer doesn't like to fall too deep into any death valley, which Electronica can always offer ' on the other hand, some tracks would come out a bit better, if they would be polished and sorted in the track list a bit better.
