Monolake - XIE (Imbalance Computer Music)


Yo-ho-ho and we're all feeling so bloody festive, aren't we? Just walk into any shop, revel in the joyous musical Christmas hits and feel the good vibrations - yes! Imagine how many more times you'll be cheered up by Stop The Cavalry if you live long enough - hurrah! Meanwhile, this from Robert Henke as Monolake......................................well?......................................................it's not very.............festive......
it's exactly what I want............an antidote to the tidal wave of musical torture inflicted on us every year. It's Monolake. It does what Monolake records do. It's brilliant from the first beat of Xor to the last on Ethernet and I'll be playing it all over Christmas. It's that sound....his sound...and in no way am I sick of it. The snub-nosed bass, ping-pong metal percussion (?) and shafts of sound that plug you straight into a polished-to-perfection futureworld product..............................and Inward................ah, that city of glass and neon noir...........yes.................all tinged only with the sad prospect that a new album isn't due until 2016(?)...much too far away..........
