Electric sounds fragrant with the smell of soldering irons and circuit boards. Following up on the advance single from rising robotic artist MORITZ SIMON GEIST — who made a front-line debut in mutant techno & alternative disco that could only be called sensational industrial gamelan robot dance, with a scientific, experimental approach that's fascinating in its own right — the long-awaited debut album has arrived.
The title goes straight for it: "Robotic Electronic Music"!!! Alongside the front-line mutant techno & alternative disco cuts that already made an impression on the advance single — the sort of thing you'd call industrial gamelan robot dance — A1 "Entropy" (sample 1) and B2 "Under Deconstruction" (sample 2), there's also B1 "Gateland" with its razor-sharp, precisely built cut-up/collage rhythms made of electrical signals and machine noise, and the powerful A2 "The DNA Of Drumming" with drumming so mechanical it's downright dexterous. Eight tracks in all, state-of-the-art rhythm work that folds in experimentalism — including performances by his self-built robots and computers — in exquisite balance. The sound quality and pressure, the gatefold sleeve, the analog cut and mastering all show real attention to detail. Recommended. Be sure to check the performance video too!!!
