How to begin. I usually don't waste time praising records that I like because most of them have already been given accolades from fellow listeners. I was surpised, however, to see that this album hasn't yet been elevated to "divine". I've been listening to electronic music for a LONG time, as a member of various electro, IDM, and ambient mailing lits across the web. Not that such an experience gives me licence, but I'm hoping it gives me some authority, at least, to say that that Abfahrt Hinwil's album is one of the tightest, most melodic, most beautiful electronic albums I have ever heard in my life. Musicality of this quality has only been heard and seen in Download's "III" album, another artwork of incredible beauty.
While there have been many acts that try to mainstream the downtempo sound, this album has been, perhaps, a fluke in that it incorporate the essence of the dynamic and tempo, without even trying to.
