This album is not the best work of Kowalski. It has some good things, and by moments it brights, but almost all the album is slow, so repetitive and boring; it falls in common place and sounds so conventional, like any other techno album.

It has a lot of house and trancy sounds but it takes an obvious example. Without any real progress along each track or surprise it starts and finish in the same place even in the track with Raz Ohara.

I think that the obvious and the repetitive are common characteristics in a lot of "minimal" music, so many times is difficult to find really good releases in that genre.

Its disappointing that Kanzleramt release that kind of conventional stuff, cause I expect more from this prestigious label. 2/5
