█│ There are probably monks in the Opus Dei who would │█
█│ think Clink Recordings could do with lightening up a │█
█│ bit. In the six years since Camea and Tim Xavier │█
█│ established the label, Clink's dour asceticism has │█
█│ seemed extreme even for minimal techno. Artists like │█
█│ Oliver Dodd, Alexi Delano and Camea herself sometimes│█
█│ make even Minus' most serious-minded output sound │█
█│ like Chic. In the process, though, they've │█
█│ established a signature sound of metronomic techno │█
█│ with the least possible adornment, save for the │█
█│ dripping stalactites, plucked overhead power lines │█
█│ and demonic whispers that seem to appear so regularly│█
█│ in the label's tunes. │█
█│ │█
█│ That uncompromising vision, seemingly designed to │█
█│ scare off the uninitiated, shapes the form of Clink's│█
█│ first compilation. Rather than simply rounding up the│█
█│ best of their back catalogue, Camea instead has │█
█│ reduced the already desolate likes of Mark Henning's │█
█│ "Cracker" back to a series of loops before │█
█│ recombining all 21 tracks into a 72 minute mix. │█
█│ Running as a single track, it offers few easy entry │█
█│ points for the casual listener, giving little │█
█│ indication of where any single "tune" begins or ends.│█
█│ │█
█│ Man cannot live on minimal techno alone, and Camea's │█
█│ slimming down of the differences between the tracks │█
█│ can make Clinkology Vol. 01 seem somewhat monochrome │█
█│ and emaciated at first. But despite those qualms, the│█
█│ mix is an object lesson in how much can be achieved │█
█│ with so little. Clink might be a purist label, but │█
█│ this music is far from pure at heart. Much of the mix│█
█│ has a sinister undertow and even a strange sexuality,│█
█│ albeit one more suggestive of JG Ballard's Crash than│█
█│ the seductive edge someone like Cassy brings to her │█
█│ mixes. The occasional voices that rise out of the │█
█│ darknesssuch as the dead-eyed French monologue of │█
█│ Mikael Stavöstrand and Cesare vs Disorder's "La │█
█│ Plaisir" or the strung-out drug tale of Tim Xavier │█
█│ and Insideout's "Girl On Fire"are isolated and │█
█│ alienating, like someone struggling with │█
█│ schizophrenic voices. Stern and austere, Clinkology │█
█│ Vol. 01 certainly isn't for everyone, but it can be │█
█│ both purging and enlightening for those with the │█
█│ discipline to take it. │█
