Review by ojklob Dec 31, 2006 (edited over 2 years ago)
"Monolith" is without doubt one of my favourite records!
Simplicity is the key here.After the first few bars you know your in for a treat! The track starts with a synth to die for and a snappy electro beat which is so addictive.Not much changes throughout apart it becoming more beautiful by the second.One play won't be enough so don't be surprised when you find yourself reaching for the needle for another monolith fix.
The other three tracks on the ep are special in there own way but "Monolith" sticks out like a sore thumb!
I'm the proud owner of 99/1000
Rated 5/5

with "Double Density" it was love on first sight. A remarkable and unique masterpiece of electronical music. The acid line is unforgettable and simply amazing. I still get goosebumps after years when i hear those beautiful dreamy pads in the back.
It's a definitive classic and a huge inspiration for me.
There's only one thing critical with this track, .......it's way too short ;) (I'd love to have a 10min longer version)
Guess..I'm as well proud to have 3 copies of that beauty.

'Monolith' is one of the most emotional pieces of electronic music I've heard in a long time. It's a raised hairs on the arms/back of the neck classic!

The rest of the tracks and releases ooze quality - you can tell that so much love and care went into the creation of these beauties.

Big up the Signal massive!

Limited to 1000 copies - I have 666!
