Axel Stupplich is back with his third solo effort outside of Pyramid Peak, Time Traveller. As with his previous releases, the emphasis is on energetic electronics and rhythms.
The title track is dance floor ready right out of the box, chugging along effusively from beginning to end. Much more relaxed is "The Uncertainty Principle," which slides into a cool groove and shuffles along quite enjoyably from there.
"Cuba Libre" is another moderately paced number, again a perfect balance between the beats and the cool synth sounds. Back we head on to the dance floor with "Fly Away," even more so than the opener. A light bright synth takes on the melody nicely. A quirky little bass sound brings up "Mirror Of Illusions," a growling churning sensual piece that is a lot of fun. Male chanting lends an ethnic touch to "Pharao," one of the very few dreamy atmospheric selections to be had. Though drums and bass do eventually arrive, it continues to move slow and easy. A lot of processed spoken vocals begin "Bombay Fruit Market," then an edgy aggressive synth totally makes me think of Jean-Michel Jarre when he’s having a techno moment. The word "fun" comes to mind often throughout Time Traveller, especially here. Crank it up, then take a breather for the ethereal 15-minute "World of Secrets" at the end.
