Albert Van Abbe - "Von Neumann Machine" |
In the modern school of Dutch electronic music, No Comment are undoubtedly one of the most cutting-edge independent labels operating, with each release a mesmerizing blend of deep, scientific techno which not only sounds original but also purposefully includes a specific aesthetic vision or concept. No Comment's fifth release has label boss Albert Van Abbe sharing sides with Gerald 'Der Zyklus' Donald and it's the latter who opens with "Von Neumann Replicator" a typically rippling electroid production that's filled with metallic, 606 shuffles. On the flip Van Abbe's "Von Neumann Machine V2" opens up more space with its 4/4 beat and subtle minimalist atmospherics, but it's the subsequent original version which really places a mark on the EP, its monstrous stabs and progressive drone sounds all circling around a sparse stripped down techno workout. Top notch stuff as always.
