This polarity of light and dark is reversed in 'Transformers', with the discordant sounds confined to an undulating yet tightly-wound strand of synth, a streak of some contrapuntal flavour - liquorice or aniseed - in a stick of rock whose dominant tones are colourful and upbeat, with quintessential After Dark elements: funky toms, dynamic hihats, warm sub, and bright yet metallic pads. Deceptive effervescence.
