Artist: Ünn P: 2006 Mikrolux MKX13CD Elektrolux has the reputation of sometimes neglecting the emotional impact of music in favour of emphasising mechanical sounds. This, however, is not true for üNN, the main project of the Frankfurt multimedia artist Frank Rückert. Working as VJ for Sven Väth, Pascal FEOS, DJ Hell or Monika Kruse, the computer scientist is an integral part of the international Techno Club scene. Frank Rückert is telling stories with sounds and is often surprised by himself while working in the studio: 'I love to jam a lot, and out of this unexpected and surprising ideas, the best tracks were produced'. This is the philosophy of his musical work. And by the impressionistic piano ('For The People'), Asia-like music box sounds ('Metamorphic'), with synthie melodies flirting with the early nineties ('Seconds Of Your Time') or densely-woven Liquid-Dub ('Into the Biosphere'), your inner cinema is stimulated in the most pleasant way.

Artist: Uwe Bauch P: 1995 There's something strange yet thought provoking about the cover graphics on this 1995 CD. 'The Room' introduces the album with organic effects, the sound of a heartbeat, and wispy synth refrains. 'Ready to Fall' takes over seamlessly with optimistic synth sweeps which are joined by a simple sequence a few minutes later. Unusually the sequence sounds unquantized as if played freehand. Subtle and effective. 'Run to Exit' layers repetitive riffs and snatches of flutey synth on top of a percussive sequence which emulates the rhythm of a train alà Kraftwerk's 'Trans Europe Express'. The title track features a constant DEEP drone pierced by electronic pings and assorted effects. Sequence territory is more fully explored on 'Lost World Part 1' (there isn't a part 2). Initially the approach is fairly conventional with deep bass sections fading in and out. Latterly though a more freehand approach is adopted to present a variety of patterns, unusually in almost total isolation. 'Jump in the Ozean' is a minimalist affair featuring swept synth sounds emulating abstract whale song and other such aquatic noises, while 'Asteroid B612' ends superbly in spacey Van Zyl territory. This is an album which will appeal to those who like brooding works of substance; "music to listen to in an isolation chamber" type of thing. Yet it isn't so challenging that it would frighten off those who like more immediacy in their music. I found the organic and improvised feel of the music very appealing. (GG) Here the last copy!

Artist: V/A P: 1992 This impressive compilation showcases some of the most cutting edge examples of electronic listening music in the early 1990s. All contributions are of a high standard and the music still sounds fresh and innovative in 2010. Polygon Window by The Dice Man opens the first disc on an undulating, mid-tempo beat, followed by a series of sonic gems like Musicology's Telephone 529 with its spacey voice samples, the rhythmically complex Crystel by Autechre and The Clan, a semi-symphonic soundscape by I.A.O. Some of these artists were no doubt influenced by the German pioneers like Tangerine Dream but they've evolved beyond those structures to create something quite unique. Multiple layers endow certain pieces with a profoundly cinematic quality, e. g. Spiritual High by UP! which has a trance-like texture in which different types of vocals alternate. Musicology's Preminition, on the other hand, has R&B type female vocals throughout. On the second disc my favorites include Link's percussive Arcadian, B12's solemn Scriptures, Autechre's quirky Chatter, Beaumont Hannant's bubbling & percolating Utuba, former Cabaret Voltaire member Richard H Kirk's plinking, plonking & lilting Reality Net and Seefeel's chiming & echoing Spangle which reminds me somewhat of Popol Vuh's majestic Nosferatu.
