Jonas Bering - Bienfait

Very nice ambient-like techno album of the minimal genius from Lille, France. Listen to it at home in the dark and you will be in a very cold, heavy industrial environment.
Track D1 can without a doubt be played in a club. This album is a must have for dubtechno ambient-techno lovers!

Sometimes it takes a good bit of searching to find the right deep, minimal techno to quench your thirst. If you are reading this, congratulations, you've somehow managed to find a great work. Jonas Bering, a name I'd never heard of myself until I bought a random deep techno 12" record with his name on it. Later I discovered he had a CD, "bienfait," which in French translates "kind deed." Certainly it is a kind deed of Jonas to bless our ears with this smooth composition and its' innocuous delivery of electronic dub techno. Not as cold, repetative, or raw as Porter Ricks (whom I also admire) but a slightly smoother and experimental flavor similar to acts like MRI or UNAI. And best of all, Mr. Bering doesn't hold back on track lengths due to CD format; track "8" is over 13 minutes long! The CD artwork is beautiful, and rather than pulling obscure track titles out of a hat, Jonas decides to display no track listing at all. Nice.
