    Rising with a vengeance from a period of inactivity, Click Click shows their skill once more in creating densely layered aural phenonmena with their newest full-length contribution to the EBM scene: "Shadowblack."  With this CD, I have found myself unable to press the eject button at least until I've heard the entire album through four to five times. Using the newest technology available by splurging profits from their previous releases, Adrian and Derek Smith venture forth from their dormant period of remixes and compilation tracks to offer their fans a chance at bliss. As complex and intricate the breakbeats and samples are, there is a simplicity present which can lull one into a semi-trance state through the use of headphones and a couple doses of LSD.
     By far the most original and thought-provoking material of 1997, "Shadowblack" delivers the sensual and abstract sides of electronic music not included in other, similar-to-the-genre bands (i.e. Black Lung, Sonar, Imminant Starvation, etc.). Buy this CD at all costs. Sell parts of your anatomy for cash if you must, but get this release.
