All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
The album kicks off with 'No cruise control', a big bad sedan that effortlessly eats up
the distance at 120 BPM. Kraut as can be, with a twist. And as far as funk goes, it's
not Bootsy Collins, but there's a whiff. Space is structured by synth patterns, for
optimized drumming: forward, straight and fluid, top- notch suspension (Cosmic
Neman and Dr Schoonberg take care of business on drums). They treat themselves to
a diversion via Darmstadt to take some musique concrete on board: mechanical birds
chirp, the odd atonal piano here and there. Nerds will appreciate liner notes detailing
the equipment used: about twenty synths and they still describe it as minimal.
This was a quick affair, recorded by Laurent Deboisgisson in the studio of Cheveu's
singer. A pretty straightforward job, and a far cry from their previous concept album.
Let us praise Krikor Kouchian's mix: drums have been resampled with some restraint,
and that LinnDrum kick lightens up the overall mix. It marks a notable evolution in the
band's sound and adds some dynamic.
The cover, designed by DDDXIE, sets the tone with its reference to 'Motorik Vibes &
Stereo Grooves'.
