I heard a while ago that there a new Monolake album coming out in October. Does anyone have any details on it? And is the new CiM CD out on Ann Aimee?

All I got an advance blub for was the single (in a June new-releases list) - which sounds promising, but I haven't heard it yet myself. Here's the review: SINGLE OF THE WEEK! MONOLAKE Linear Atomium ReminiscenceImbalance12" // £ 6.49 Robert Henke reconstructs the Monolake sound once again, returning to us with this mighty new 3-tracker for his own Imbalance imprint. The opening cut "Linear" is simply devastating, if you try and imagine for one moment what would happen if Autechre toyed around with more overtly techno signatures you get an idea of the science fiction at play here. The track responds to a broken stutter of a beat complete with twisted metalic stretches of sound and a squashed flange of midnight chords. It is, quite simply, a filthy, dirty beast of a tune that you really do need to play loud and deep. Mighty. "Atomium", meanwhile, streams into more serene terrain, a 4/4 float through open spaces and evocative dubwise stabs that sound like vintage monolake stripped of the metalic edge that has characterised the sound for so long. "Reminiscence" on the flip is an epic, sublime trek through spacious, deep Berlin 4/4 traditions, typically perfected production that evokes the spirit of Basic Channel and everything that this fine city has brought to life since. Straight and deep on the fours and absolutely gorgeously done, this is a blindingly good record that stands up high in the midst of an already formidable cannon of work. Limited clear vinyl copies, essental purchase! +++ I * --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
