"The version [of Cyan I] on Hong Kong is also quite different [from CR-04] because we added a rain shower field recording captured at a bus stop in Lantau and more insect sounds." - Robert Henke 2006

Monolake’s Hongkong album is an impressive journey, warm and fantastic. The opening track, “Cyan,” starts with ambient noise, like a recording of an insect farm, and glides seamlessly into a deep, minimalism, while “Index” is slightly darker and harder. If you’re in the mood for some quiet breaks and dubbed out synths, “Lantau” is the way to go; if you prefer the dubbiness but want a slow house rhythm, then you can’t go wrong with “Macau.” “Arte” is nothing but deepness, and “Occam,” though it starts with indecipherable chatter, quickly moves into a rhythmic groover. The final track, “Mass Transit Railway,” is a train of ambience, slowly pulling out of the station. Get on board before it’s too late.
