talking about albums that can create a complete atmosphere on
their own, this one nicely fits in this category. it's good to see
people experiment with sounds, applying them somewhat in retro
minimal techno style, somewhat in electro style but certainly with
enough futuristic style to be interesting. the overall atmosphere
of "pmf acht" is rather dark and adds some industrialism again.the
sounds can be crispy and hard at times, the rythms remain slowly
paced and keep this album in the category of chillout music. it's
the kind of music that reminds us vaguely of the apollo
compilation series, the early spacetime continuum sound or the
weirdness of an early
future sound of london track. check out "blu:na" and "nostalgie
digitale" for cold but moody synths on a deep slow murmling bass.
or take a track like noir or grun that have the rythm of maurizio
but add enough weird sound effects to have a feeling that set it
apart. "dropsucht" comes close to a pure electro track and then
there is "bitmanie" which is a completely different beast where
frank martiniq totally celebrates his creativity with continous
weird synth effects on an almost hip hop paced beat. nicely done!
hoping we created some interest here to go check out this album
in a record store.
