Zoë Keating - One Cello x 16 - 20-Aug-06 04:56 AM
Sometimes something strikes you as amazing, something simple but deep down to a molecular level of you, with which you feel oneness – this is it.

If you liked Sascha Ring from Apparat experiments in merging classical string instruments into electronica, you will love this – Zoë brings to life the other side of the line, making cello music with advanced electronic technique. Go get it.

This is the darkest, most paranoid and lonely record you may expect to hear in a lifetime, period.
Well, at least under the minimal moniker, which may say volumes, as minimal techno inherently tends to get rather dark and introversive.

Richie managed to transcribe a genuinely psychotic state with his music – the message from the individual tracks, which as standalones posses the ability to rip apart ones mind, sum on each other when listened to in succession with a build up of tension to bring either a closeup and rejection of the whole thing, or either a wave of insights by the recipient psyche. Obviously, Hawtin is an expert in reaching the deepest and darkest corners of the subconscious.

Musically, this is minimal techno at its best and is definitely a classic.

Absolutely amazing work that sounds years after its release more cutting edge then most other pieces produced during the period – it simply defies time, providing a journey into a deep and rewarding world of musical purity which grows into you as if a part of the thought process inside your brain begins to live in synergy with the enveloping ambience of the sound waves, living up to the stark definitions of the individual tracks, that despite to this posses a lushness one can only find in meditation on the inner self.
