Monolake - Gravity

Absolutely amazing work that sounds years after its release more cutting edge then most other pieces produced during the period – it simply defies time, providing a journey into a deep and rewarding world of musical purity which grows into you as if a part of the thought process inside your brain begins to live in synergy with the enveloping ambience of the sound waves, living up to the stark definitions of the individual tracks, that despite to this posses a lushness one can only find in meditation on the inner self.

Truly a stunning album - superb low end bass and intelligent subtle melodies. Reminds me of 'Amber'-era Autechre - glacial and beautiful stuff and not 'difficult' on first listen. Imagine being suspended in space - this would be the soundtrack...

I've heard that these guys write all their own programmes for producing music - whatever it is, it sounds brilliant. A good place to start for anyone interested in Basic Channel stuff - also check out the Scion album (on tresor)who remix and mix Basic Channel stuff.

Its techno Jim, but not as we know it.

It's experimental and forward looking as only Techno can get, but also so cold and frozen still that sometimes it sounds like a walking corpse of aborted music.
