Automat (2) ‎– Introspection EP

Pure electro that can easily be compared to the work of Drexciya and Dopplereffekt. All 4 songs are wonderfully written but what really stands out is the superb bass programming. "Hardware" has an aquatic feel to it that immediately reminds me of "Neptune's Lair" from Drexciya, "Nematod" is a very funky and lighter song which is in great contrast to much of the darker electro nowadays (which I like as well, but some variation is always welcome). "Phase 1" is clearly the dancefloor killer of this album with a much more straightforward 4/4 beat and some very exquisitely layered sounds. "Robomelo", as its name suggests, is a much more "mellow" song that has a very hypnotic effect (no, I'm not on drugs ;) and some melancholic sounds in it that make me dream of faraway places...very powerful emotional stuff!

If you're an electro lover or simply someone with a deep intrest in electronic music, this EP is something you should definitely check out! I can't wait to hear more from Diplomat...
