An arresting set of 'electromechanical' pieces
utilising homemade instruments and various
modified electronic and percussive devices,
this album hones in on resonant metallic
sonorities, both in the pursuit of creating
strange, alien rhythms and composing
melodically cogent instrumentals. Timpanis,
metallophones, Korg MS20s and something
called a 'heckeshorn', which if a certain video
on YouTube is to be believed is a bit like an
industrial revolution-era synthesizer, complete
with cogs and all manner of moving parts.
There's an entire solo piece on Orbital
dedicated to this curious contraption (titled
'Heckeshorn') which makes for a rather
creepy jaunt into the steampunk avant-garde.
Berliner Ring make all manner of bizarre
noises on this record, but their real achievement
is in managing to configure them into easily
digestible, very musical shapes.
