Rated 4/5
Review by nixego Mar 16, 2008
This album is organic. It's alive with DNA, eye-sockets, and fingernails. The sounds are non-discrete, they are mushed like flesh and blood. I've never heard anything like this. It's hard to explain, but I never knew how conformed I was to the more robotic nature of other IDM and techno styles. This is not an android's IDM, this is a mitochondria's IDM. The sounds are intriguing and warrant infinite listening. Without a doubt, this is an extremely innovative piece of music.

What drew me in particular to these sounds is the presence of melody, and it is this melody that makes the songs come alive - as if they were breathing, thinking, feeling emotion - and it inspires the same feelings within the listener. This makes the listener experience a relationship with the music, which is what music is all about.

Much respect, Kettel.

Words can not explain how good this album is. Anyone who is into Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Autechre, etc, Should own this LP. Beautifully sublime melodies a vast soundscape with a great depth, and excellently produced. The start of a great new label. This guy is seriously good! An absolutely essential purchase for 2005!!

Probably the most beautiful release of Kettel up to date. Last two tracks are more than astonishing. A real masterpiece that makes me start day dreaming and feel like floating far above the skies. Recommended to every fan of light and instrumental electronic music.
