The thing that really grabs me about releases like this from the amazing Sraunus is that it's minimal techno, using similar general ideas as many others, but his carefully placed accents, sound construction, and overall quality of composition and production result in atmospheric/minimal/dub techno that is the cream of the crop. Vocal scents, panning meandering, and accentuating crispness make for smooth beat driven atmospheres of pristine form. Portis
Why do I love this masterpiece of Kinetic sound energy? You have to ask? It's quite evident from the very first track! N'est Pas? This release is deserving of the equivalent of a Grammy IMO! Too bad mainstream music executives and Media are rather "tone deaf" to "genuine" musical talent! But then again, we need that music for the MASSES! Radio stations need something to play! :) deeperthandeep2021
