A very melodic affair compared with later releases from the "Misc." alias (other works of Christopher Bleckmann & Hannes Wenner, like the glitchy drum'n bass of Monophace, are recommended too), and my favourite one. It's just one of those breezy, loose, soft techno works, like Dennis DeSantis' "Clockwise" or the more relaxed Scsi-9. Beautiful, with lots of textures, most of the songs consists of layers derived from a sample repeated during the 4 or 5 minutes the track lasts. Highlights: the clear and optimistic "Music my friend", the relaxed and 80's "Come again", and the catchy and danceable "Alive". But bear in mind, very different from the later synth-oriented and dirtier releases from Misc.
