Abfahrt Hinwil - Links Berge Rechts Seen (2002)



9.4

/Experimental electronica, Electro pop, Minimal techno, Chill out, Ambient techno, Soundscapes, IDM, Synth pop, Ambient/

Comment: this 13-track album can be considered one of those distinguished IDM/electronica/techno albums coming out from the 00s. Otherwise it can be viewed as an example of futuristic synth pop drifting between serene and gloomy moods. In the meantime, however, the German duo of Chris Cunningham (aka Point 7), and Martin Haidinger (aka Gimmik) provides profound contemplations of ambient textures, suggestive sequencer-ridden electro pop and robot-driven patterns. On the strength of it there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of Autechre, Dopplereffekt and many other artists. Highly convincing indeed.
