Experimental Electronic Music
This 1994 album transcended expectations and opinions when it was first released, thirty years on it is still doing so. A fitting homage being paid to an artist who was utterly unique in his approach, a beautiful reissue of a milestone of electronic music.
A pleasantly relaxed transmission of minimalist, nearly imperceptible soundtracks from Mono Hideout’s Visions EP for Adventurous Music ignites something extraordinary and surreal.
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.
Displacer revisits this iconic record and brings some friends along to partake, creating a flowing and textural audio assault that represents the entire dark electronic music landscape, likely for another decade.
But it’s not all splatter. Soaring synths pierce the darkness with moments of light reminding me to look for that light, follow it down the tracks even as metallic crashes continue to cascade into crumbling piles of rust.
These forgotten tracks offer dark, crunchy, and cinematic structures in a mere three piece suite spanning just over five minutes.
The sheer magnitude of Larval Beak’s roughened overflows spills over five succinct tracks, yet manages to convey a powerful sonic panoramic within a brisk 20 minutes.
Máximo Volumen 1 elevates late night grooves for splintered wooden floorboards of abandoned warehouses—its detuned techno and rave pulse pointed directly at your feet.
