Dataline :: Under Waveform (Noorden)

Share this ::

Droplets of sparkling dub-techno reminisce among scattered bass shards and evolved atmospheric shifts.

dataline-under-waveformDataline simply stirs emotion—gracefully articulating strands of life via analog machinery, chilled to the touch, effervescent to the core and emblematic of soothing therapy for mind and soul. Covered in warm synth lines, crumpled bass and an early DeFocus-era techno mind-frame (ref. Aphelion, CiM et al), Under Waveform displays bubbling electrical pulsars composed of soft looping patterns.

Droplets of sparkling dub-techno reminisce among scattered bass shards and evolved atmospheric shifts. Moody chemicals, laid back electronics, sparse vocal treatments and juggled rhythmic acrobatics keeps Dataline in a pleasant sonic plateau—rarely venturing into unknown terrain. Minimized and mesmerized by low-riding transmissions, time has no significance, slivers of light trickle through a haze of hypnotic frequencies, bass bumps and syncopated clips, clicks and clangs. Perhaps best considered as a recipe of analogous ingredients producing a melange of tantalizing midnight listening grooves, Under Waveform is at times flowing with ambience and yet peppered with technoid segments of sublime melodic layering. Quite an accomplishment that should, at the very least, be listened to as a whole rather than in part.

Under Waveform is available on Noorden. [Release page | Bandcamp]
