Ambulatory explores further what was started with Cyst: it's a super-smart hybrid of noisecore and drum'n'bass, with tons of texture and depth. Chilling noise-ambient opener "Admission" starts things off, after which we get into what appears the lightly rhythmic "Hope (living in stereo)," only to be ambushed mid-way through by an awesomely psychotic glitch-freakout. "Unrelax" is a great example of how well The Wretch blends atmospheric sounds with harder-edged ones, and the remix closer of "Alerting" has as huge, future-industrial sound. This genre can too often be mindless, but not The Wretch. The rhythms here are ultra-savvy and the sonic pallette, gigantic. They've got it going on.
