On the flip, 'The Only One' keeps it deep and driving, with a more menacing edge. Ominous pads set the mood, punctuated by a single heavily delayed snare, the echoes of which mask the throbbing juggernaut of a beat as it emerges in a dramatic filter sweep. A reverb-drenched fragment of an ardent lyric, like a message from earth replaying in the vast hull of an interstellar freighter, gives a sense of human scale that underscores the weight of that pounding rhythm and the sub beneath it. Deadly and stratospheric.
