Machinefabriek - Duotoon

You really need to listen to Machinefabriek with headphones. In a pokey office with a coupla small speakers in it really doesn't work. But stick on some headphones and suddenly it makes a bit more sense. Duotoon is constructed using just sine waves so it's a wee bit different to his other releases. The tones shift from speaker to speaker which at times can be quite disorientating. If you like Eleh's use of tones then you'll like this but this is much busier than the sparse work of Eleh. It sounds like music from an alien planet which is solely inhabited by BBC test card images. It's one of those albums that when you crank it up you'll be taken on a journey which is so often the way with machinefabriek's work.
