"Cinemascope" was my first experience with the Monolake duo and due to that probably remains my favourite album. Music is multi-layered, mathematically constructed, very suggestive and highly atmospheric. Following the title, it's like a soundtrack from a complex digital process of information travelling through channels. If Kraftwerk were humanoid robots, then these guys must be like an upraged version of Kubrick's HAL-9000. Mindblowing record - 5/5.

monolake blends minimal glitch with warm dub-like synths to create pulsing soundscapes that are at once captivating and danceable. This release realizes it more fully then "Interstate" does. Good things are sure to come from these guys. Stay Tuned.

This is a mixture of dancefloor-friendly and other more experimental/abstract elements. The music is repetitive though I wouldn't really say "minimal". As a whole the record is very nice but I'm always waiting for a crescendo which harldy ever comes. OK I may have missed the whole point here but I always get this really-really subtle feeling of disatisfaction (of wanting some more of it, of wanting to embrace me a little bit tighter). Anyway I give this a 4 because that's my bad self talking right now
