Reviews & Discussion
People, more words on one of the most sublime releases in the IDM stable. This stuff just eats your mind from the inside out. If Autechre had continued from Amber this might have been the next logical step. It is cut to precision with melodies and hooks that drag you in and build in their intensity. Once I had listened to this disc a few times I found that I continued to have dreams with Dyn as their soundtrack, so unable was I to 'switch off' these tracks off in my mind. Im going out on a limb here but I would have to say that this has to be in the top 3 IDM releases of all time. Mind melting, intelligent, evoloving, often dark but with slivers of light and brilliance permeating throughout. Just beautiful.
People this is a very good album. Soothing melodies superbly combined with catchy beats are present throughout all 11 tracks. Ok it does sound similar to a couple of other works out there, meaning that It's not terribly original, however that put aside you can't help but close your eyes and enjoy the melodies while your body discretely follows the rhythmic twists.
