Robert Salcido Jr <SaLiMaNDiR> I remember listening to this for what feels like eons ago. I could never find anything comparable (not that I was trying to) nor do I think I ever will. I can listen to this in the morning, during work and breaks, during the evening, and even when calling it a night. So that's precisely what I do. Thank you for giving us all such wonderful music/art, Mike². Favorite track: Enzyme.

dleo70 This album provided a warm and encompassing haven for my psyche when I first discovered it. I still enjoy settling in and being enveloped by its stark, sometimes violent heaving mechanical upheavals and calming landscapes. It feels like where I belong. Favorite track: Further.

_noech The original concept of Gridlock was "heaviness through electronics", and this is it. This is the fullest realization of that idea. Sure, there are louder, faster, more aggressive electronic albums out there. But this is a tour-de-force, all-killer-no-filler, from slow grinds to hammering blastbeats, layered with hoarse vocals and expert programming. This is, hands down, one of the greatest albums of all time. Favorite track: Sever.

jffrz This album was waaaayyy ahead of its time when it originally came out in 1999. Here it is, however, right where it belongs in the current year, sounding like you just heard it for the first time ever, today.

about

Following their debut album, Bay Area industrial duo Gridlock quickly pushed their creative boundaries. They restructured their live setup, incorporating new technology that expanded their sonic possibilities. Their first experiment with upgraded digital tools resulted in the track Enzyme for Pendragon Records’ Quadraphobia compilation. Soon after, they embarked on a short West Coast tour before returning to the studio to craft their next album, Further.

Embracing real-time audio editing, Further developed rapidly, defined by its signature distorted percussion. Initially met with little feedback from their label, the album gained final approval after a live performance at the CMJ festival. Released in early 1999, Further exceeded expectations, earning critical acclaim and charting in the the RPM charts. It became a landmark in the evolution of industrial music, blending emotional depth and cerebral complexity with brute force.

Gridlock continued evolving through two more albums before disbanding, leaving their work rare and highly sought after. Now, in tribute to Mike Wells, who passed away in 2022, Viasonde is reintroducing Gridlock’s music with the blessing of Wells’ family. Following the 2024 reissue of The Synthetic Form, Further will be released on July 11th on clear vinyl with greyscale splatter. Half of the proceeds will go to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in Wells’ honor.

The song Sever does not condone, glamorize, or imply that suicide is a solution. It is about doing something against one's ethos to resolve conflict.

about

gridlock San Francisco, California

Gridlock was a San Francisco based experimental electronic band, consisting of Mike Wells and Mike Cadoo. Conceived by Wells in 1993 as "heaviness through electronics", the band was initially a part of the electro-industrial scene, but the band's sound eventually began incorporating more atmospheric textured elements, as well as elements of glitch and IDM. ... more
