Experimental Electronic Music
This overall limited run of the acid genre is another success on the label for those who are in love with the genre. Furthur Electronix—and a warm welcome Shakesphere, their sub-label—has been carving out a niche for itself over the past few years, releasing music that feels both nostalgic and necessary. It’s a love letter to a sound that defined an era, and for fans of classic acid and braindance, it’s essential.
Burial Grid (Adam Michael Kozak) has long occupied a fascinating space within the darker fringes of experimental electronic music, blending industrial grit, ambient decay, rhythmic abstraction, and noise-driven architecture into something uniquely cinematic and emotionally charged. With NORD Compendium, that vision feels sharpened to its most raw and unforgiving form.
Vacuum weaves glitch and sci-fi techno into an atmospheric fabric both hypnotic and volatile, its fragments orbiting in strange harmony. An echo from a future imagined long ago—contained, uncontained, and defiantly singular.
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.
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.
