II is a propulsive, unrelenting composite that doesn’t know what it is, nor does it care.
II manages to do something new, but constituted of recognisable parts – not a freakish, unnatural Frankenstein's monster, but a self-reflexive collection of darkly seductive, noisy music that's like the most life-affirming dirge you've ever heard.
II is both more ambitious and vaster in scope than its predecessor, a record that pushes their most far-out tendencies to their respective limits.
K-X-P II is much more than an experiment in tinkering with vintage instruments and influences.
It’s not trance, it’s not electro, it’s not quite orchestral – it’s not quite anything. They are a band with good ideas but unsteady appeal.
