Miswriting the name of much appreciated composer
Arvo PΣrt, you have the name of this interesting new
label from Van Der Papen.
They opened the label with a series of 3ö and if from
the morning you can guess how the rest of the day is
gonna be like, here weÆre dealing with a really good
start.
These two Lonkowsky twins from Berlin gave us a short
work based on simplicity and sobriety, thatÆs why after
the about twenty minutes of this release IÆve been thinking
if theyÆre gonna put all of their efforts into building a
full-length and they do it for good, IÆm sure it could be
an interesting cd.
4/4 kick drum minimal techno style on a melancholic quasi
dramatic ambient melody, no vocals but the usual soft sounds
to enrich the simple texture of the tracks. After the minimal
techno opening they become ethereal and even more relaxed
but as you can easily hear thereÆs some sort of continuity
between the first and the second episode and for what
concerns the last and closing track, well if you appreciated
the beginning IÆm sure you love the ôend titlesö.
In some way it reminded a bit the approach of Afx Twin during
the days of his Ambient Works and when reading this remember
that I think Richard D James was at his personal best together
some of the following more relaxed productions (ok Come to
daddy is great but is still prefer the ambient era). Berlin based
and for good, for Germans or not these guys have all the good
qualities of electronic music from Deutschland mixed with a
great taste for nocturnal ambient feels.
An interesting debut and you know, when working on minimal
things...taste is everything."
limited to 50 for this world. go buy.
