The album is ripe with 'ambient' passages that function like open portals between moments of consonance and clarity, and epic post-hip hop opuses like the heavy/heady 'Thanking the Earth'. But even in the occasional absence of drums, there is a powerful pulse implicit in the program's frequency of consciousness. It's a testament to Nio's foundations as a DJ. His distinct ability to craft a kinetic, cinematic sonic experience from dozens of independent, often rhythmically-ambiguous improvisational memories is more fluently displayed on 'More Energy Fields, Current' than anything we've heard from him to date.
