The album kicks off with ‘No cruise control’, a big bad sedan that effortlessly eats upthe distance at 120 BPM. Kraut as can be, with a twist. And as far as funk goes, it’snot Bootsy Collins, but there’s a whiff. Space is structured by synth patterns, foroptimized drumming: forward, straight and fluid, top- notch suspension (CosmicNeman and Dr Schoonberg take care of business on drums). They treat themselves toa diversion via Darmstadt to take some musique concrete on board: mechanical birdschirp, the odd atonal piano here and there. Nerds will appreciate liner notes detailingthe equipment used: about twenty synths and they still describe it as minimal.
This was a quick affair, recorded by Laurent Deboisgisson in the studio of Cheveu’ssinger. A pretty straightforward job, and a far cry from their previous concept album.Let us praise Krikor Kouchian’s mix: drums have been resampled with some restraint,and that LinnDrum kick lightens up the overall mix. It marks a notable evolution in theband’s sound and adds some dynamic.
The cover, designed by DDDXIE, sets the tone with its reference to ‘Motorik Vibes &Stereo Grooves’.
