These 2006 recordings that make up Katodivaihe features the continued extension and development of their trademarked "warm" Electronic sound as per album bookends "Virta 1& 2", and dub techniqued pummeling rhythms ("Tugboat") and the Heavy Metal pound of "Machinist". But this 2007 record also sees them expand their musical horizons further by the inclusion of young Icelandic cello player Hildur Gudnadottir (hilderness.com) on several tracks, and the use of some perhaps some more Funk-based rhythms ("Cutter"), whilst taking stretching the listener in the opposite direction via the abstracted soundscape centerpieces of "Kytkennat / Connection" and "Haiti". Pan Sonic have remained true to their original and pioneering use of their special handmade analog tone generators, more old radio set than synthesizers, with the occasional use of digital samplers for the more rhythmic sounds.
