Release Note ......::
What happens when scales and patterns of contradicting emotional imprints
combine? When light and darkness, bitter and sweet, frost and blaze collide?
Those are the questions that Johannes Heil chooses to address on his upcoming
album, opening up a vast grey-scaled area for the listener to traverse with
techno as a blindfold. sees the German techno mainstay return to the album
format for an intimate ten track odyssey of close-curtained introspection. Heil
chooses the words of fellow futurist Nikola Tesla to set the stage of the Black
Light story: >Black is the true face of Light, only we do not see this<. Track
names are dropped in favor of a chronology of scenes, better adapted to the
seemingly polar opposition of the forces that the Figure and Cocoon regular
conjures throughout the album. Everything that we perceive is processed and set
into relation with past memories, digested emotions and iron-branded
impressions. Battling the current, Johannes Heil chooses to challenge
certitudes by forcing us out of our comfort zones into the absence of light. If
the pictures painted on >Black Light< are dark, they are also far from
monochromatic. The machine-driven sonic prism acts both as the heavy cloud and
the burst of light that shoots through to guide us. Its the aggressor and the
victim, the clenched teeth and the jubilant, the paranoia and the sanity of the
mind. Its pure heads-down driving techno with volumes of grandiose. Provoking
our senses, extending his art onto our personal canvases, the Exile boss gives
the listener the freedom to interpret the emotional context of each piece, to
write the scripts of the individual scenes. The impression that >Black Light<
leaves upon first listen testifies that 20 years down the road, Johannes Heil
shows no sign of slowing down.
