"When Horses Die" brings a massive departure from Brinkmanns antihedonistic post-techno and shows his more accesibile face, still remaining quite experimental. Clicky beats have been replaced with gloomy atmosphere and dark aesthetics of modern new wave music. Combining partly digital, partly analogue electronics with organic sound results in a record that is both unique and full of various references (but not plagiarism!). Fans of Joy Division, Suicide and Coil should be more than satisfied, but orthodoxal techno lovers will probably be disappointed. An absolute "must have" and one of this years best.
