Comment: this
bunch of 8 tracks contains lots of sublime moments throughout the
vibrant course because a prolific German producer called Erich Schall
(also being known from a group, Drehkommando) provides different
patterns and mixtures though mainly based on house, techno and
dub-induced frequencies and combinations. Additionally he plays with
concrete sounds, most evidently and in the most exuberant way at
Club
Birds; the album embarks on an elegantly messy piano chord
shuffle at
Static Ram where a bit of aggressiveness dissolves
to transform into profound nocturnal house vibes with remote dub
reverberations at
Night Prism. Gentle noises to be panning
here and there used to add an extra gritty ingredient to the whole.
At
Usha Flute he mixes the predominant minimal, even obsessive
techno treatment with ethno-tinged female singing and New Age-y flute
whiffs.
Contra Vs. Melo is a dynamical, catchy sway between
obsessive tech-house and minimal synth(-pop) developments. Anyway,
all the aforementioned dissents do not balkanize the whole, on the
contrary, one can perceive of how the whole keeps growing on you with
any next listening time due to its unfathomable depth based on the
aforementioned omnium-gatherum. Erich Schall has done lots of tenures
under different imprints, mostly being involved in the discography of
such ones as basic_sounds, Der Kleine Grüne Würfel, Insectorama,
and INFEKTUS yet this one comes out of another respected and senior
weblabel called Phonocake being active since the beginning of the
00s. These decent compositions remind of those old good days with
regard to the activities of such imprints as Thinner, Epsilonlab, and
Humanworkshop, the releases of the ones still stand up 15-20 years
on.
