Monolake :: Machine Loving / Machine Learning with Robert Henke
Robert Henke, founding and sole member of the legendary Berlin experimental techno group Monolake and co-founder with (former Monolake partner Gerhard Behles and Bernd Roggendorf) of Ableton Live, the groundbreaking software company that took aspects of loop-based electronic music from a semi-obscure corner of music production and turned it into a driving force of musical creation as one of the top tier DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) in use today.
Monolake :: Studio (Imbalance Computer Music)
There’s a great mixture and balance to the album with Henke’s signature Monolake style plus several ventures into new and different territory for the Berlin resident. In all his years of creating music it’s clear Henke has never swerved from delivering powerful, curated and expertly executed music.
Scanner :: The Phenol Tapes (Alltagsmuzik)
The whole of The Phenol Tapes is a deep journey into the interior of Scanner’s creative mind as well as the lands of Captiva Island and comes highly recommended.
Gridlock :: The Synthetic Form (Remaster/Reissue) (Viasonde)
The music of The Synthetic Form belies a humanity in its inception that gives it a timeless, powerful sound.
V/A :: Quantized Realities – Technology (Errorgrid)
The mighty label Errorgrid is host to an incredible stable of artists working in a wide variety of genres, modes and formats but all reminiscent of “a darker sound of a present future” as the label motto goes. Their Quantized Realities – Technology compilation is a perfect record of the label’s roster and sound.
Joachim Spieth :: Tides (Affin)
The entire album has a cool, lush beauty to it, rewarding the listener at any time of day or night with a sonic excursion to other lands.
Joachim Spieth :: Reshape (Affin)
Reshape is a collection of remixed tracks forming an engaging and soothing collection of works. With sources taken from various releases over the last 15 years.
