Comment:
this set of 4 pieces is a collaborative act by Mabik & Xamax at a
half extent. The rest of a couple of compositions is accomplished by
Mabik alone. In general, I guess there is no need to make difference
between the two aforementioned compartments because the tracks will
make up an organic, consistent whole. It is a tonic drift between
jagged rhythms of techno and spasmodic vibrations of electro music
(the latter element is obviously represented at Im
Holze). The opening
track D-Meter
is a collaborative act and one of the interesting issues as if
conjured up by a coiled spring mechanism and then these sonic shards
seem to be inserted into the sampling unit. It used to wobble and
sway in a peculiar yet amusing manner. The same tendencies seem to
come out from the next composition Der
Maulwurf either though
in a lesser extent. This is an example of low-end techno with
stumbling bits and deliberately awkward sonic effects. Der
Flossenmann is the most
"proper" bird within it due to stepwise progressing and
acquiring new (watery) frontiers and dimensions. The issue is a
proper one being a part in the catalogue of Pentagonik. On the
February 19th the
issue will celebrate its 10 year birthday.
