This 2nd CD of the German dua EL-KA is a great collection of live performances at the E-Day 2007 festival. This truly live performed music with some prepared Schrittmacher sequences. Just 4 hands playing, no computers, no backing track at all. Classic EM from Deutschland in their own particular style and sound, EL-KA, sounds different and more authentic than other neo-Berlin School bands. Maybe it's because of the heritage of this music. Especially those sequences from the Schrittmacher/Vermona analogue synthesizer are a great joy to listen too. Four lenghty tracks named after the envelope controls which a synthesizer uses to shape the sound. The first track "Attack" expresses more or less their own style. The second track "Decay" reminds me of TD at their USA touring recordings. If you have TD's "Encore" CD then you will like this track too.
The third track is called "Sustain". This track sounds more like TD in their days of "Tangram/Thief/Exit". The last track is called "Release". Back to Phaedra and Rubycon it seems. Very enjoyable music.
