'Another Life' is the debut album from Amnesia Scanner, the Berlin-based music duo, performing arts group, experience design studio and production house, created by Finnish-born Ville Haimala and Martti Kalliala. Building on their mixtape 'AS Live]' (2014), Amnesia Scanner's critically acclaimed audio play 'Angels Rig Hook' (2015) laced a potpourri of dancefloor tactics with a machinic narrator. Their dual EPs for Young Turks, 'AS' and 'AS Truth' (2016), distilled this immersive environment into an abrasive collection of cryptorave tools. The most striking detail of 'Another Life' is Amnesia Scanner's use of both human and inhuman voices. The latter is provided by the latest addition to the production unit, a disembodied voice called Oracle, which represents the sentience that has emerged from Amnesia Scanner. Coupled with the pop song structures that Amnesia Scanner employs for the first time, the avant-EDM productions of 'Another Life' evocatively explore a schizophrenic present marked by narratives of a slow apocalypse or salvation via technology. The album's first single, 'AS Chaos', is it's most powerfully direct track, with Pan Daijing's English and Mandarin vocals taking over for Oracle. At it's most intense, as in 'AS Faceless', Amnesia Scanner's doombahton overheats into nu-metal-gabba.
