The Predicting Machine vinyl

After just a short time since his Parabola LP for German powerhouse Kompakt, John Tejada returns to the Cologne label with more of his refined and satisfying melodic techno. As a producer with many different strings to his bow, his work for the label represents his safest and most accessible side, gently bouncing along on fluffy synthesisers and clean drum patterns, yet there's still space for some adventure as on the beatless, arpeggiated wonder of "An Ounce Of Perception". "Radio Channel" follows an equally engrossing ambient path, but by and large the album stays locked into a cosy and thoroughly comforting kind of tech house.
