Pure Motorised Instinct drives over to Dark Entries with At Last I'm Leaving the Earth, an LP of industrial-tinged ambient and new age. When legendary industrial outfit Nagamatzu went dormant in 1991, band member Stephen Jarvis moved forward with Pure Motorised Instinct, a name he pulled from a line in George Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Throughout two cassette albums-1991's Between Intimacy and Elsewhere, and 1993's Everything Is True-Jarvis pushed the Nagamatzu spirit in new directions. At Last I'm Leaving the Earth collects 9 tracks from this era, which are appearing on vinyl for the first time, along with 3 additional tracks on a bonus CD. The material here sits between the brooding and the optimistic, the claustrophobic and the soporific. Jarvis's digital synths are pushed so far into tape-scuffed terrain that they talk and squawk analog-like, scurrying with vibrant curiosity. The late-night vibes peak on pieces like ""Vincent V,"" with it's reverb-drenched digital drum machines, or ""Geek,"" which taps into a wide-eyed proto-vaporwave zone. At Last I'm Leaving the Earth is Black Lodge ambient for the empty set.
