 █   █▓█    Two of the most distinctive presences in German            █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    experimental music unite for this stunning new             █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    collaborative venture, introducing the project with a      █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    five-track 12" that precedes a full-length due later on    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    in the year. As it turns out, these two seemingly          █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    strange bedfellows have long admired one another's work    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    and the project has itself been a long-term concern, in    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    development since 2007. Bargeld lends his vocal to         █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Nicolai's soundscapes, a formula that in theory might      █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    lead to an end product resembling Alan Vega's work with    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Pan Sonic. There is, however, something rather more        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    immediately synergetic about this project, and             █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Bargeld's voice embeds itself very naturally within        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Nicolai's seemingly inhospitable, yet ever-inscrutable     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    production. Lead track 'Ret Marut Handshake' sets the      █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    tone, and everything immediately slots into place: the     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Einsturzende Neubauten frontman (and sometime Nick Cave    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    sideman) Bargeld gives a commandingly expressive vocal     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    performance that functions perfectly in counterpoint to    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    the clinical precision of the pinpoint backdrop. While     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    familiar Alva Noto hallmarks are in place, there's         █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    actually very little about the track that could be         █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    branded 'minimal', and the production soon reveals         █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    itself to be a multi-layered and robust affair.            █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Possibly the biggest curveball on the EP, arriving next    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    is a cover of Harry Nilsson's 'One' (from 1968's Aerial    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Ballet album, later popularised all over again by Aimee    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Mann on the Magnolia soundtrack). While it's mildly        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    peculiar to hear Bargeld emotively intoning his way        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    through the song, it's flat out bizarre to think that      █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    this is in any way the handiwork of Noto, an artist        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    responsible for countless high-concept sound               █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    installations and uncompromising glitch landmarks like     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    'Transform'. Yet it's the terse digital arrangement        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    that makes the piece so compelling - the solitary theme    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    being underlined by the lonesome, metronomic blip          █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    running throughout the track. Subtle waves of noise and    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Xerrox-like quasi-orchestral timbres frame hints of        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    piano, completing a logic-defyingly great rendition. A     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    considerably more abstract affair, 'Electricity Is         █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Fiction' introduces the B-side, laying down a rhythmic     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    barrage while Bargeld's digitised voice floods every       █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    corner of the mix - even providing a vintage electro-      █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    style ascending/descending bassline. Switching tone        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    again, 'Bersteinzimer' channels a richly elegiac tone      █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    that calls upon a string ensemble, a few loose high        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    frequency drones and a palpable sense of drama.            █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Bargeld's clearly in his element here, delivering a        █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    central performance that's devoid of production tricks     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    or manipulations. Another cover completes the EP: 'I       █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    Wish I Was A Mole In The Ground' is a traditional          █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    American folk song that's been boldly rearranged by the    █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    two Berliners. Nicolai is at his most restrained,          █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    supplying only the leanest backdrop of bass-heavy,         █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    panning electricity surges and snare-like percussive       █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    noise while Bargeld puts in an engagingly natural and      █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    forthright vocal. Exciting stuff from these two avant-     █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    garde greats; let's hope the album isn't too far           █▓█   █
 █   █▓█    behind.                                                    █▓█   █
