This is delightful stuff! This Black Dog has squatted tensely and abruptly, and with a shudder has dropped a big hot steaming pile of minimal techno. Guess the obvious comparisons are the early '90s Berlin/Tresor type stuff but with a slight glitchiness to the atmospherics that's not a million miles from Plaid's Tekkonkinkreet OST. These are moody late night beats for when everyone's come back to yours. Head-nodding stuff.
• Presented as a seamless mix, ‘Liber Dogma’ shifts expertly between biting, sensual electro (‘Death Ov The Black Sun’), plangent electronics (‘Dark Wave Creeping’, ‘Eden 353’, ‘Feeder Rub Out’), and also wave after wave of throbbing Dark Wave Techno.
• There is real continuity with the simply awesome funky techno of the accompanying singles on their own Dust Science label - together these releases comprise a mix-friendly triptych of the finest electronics currently available.
• Tracks such as ‘Black Maria’, ‘Bird Siren’, ‘Single Light Focus’ and ‘Silent Escape’ represent a renaissance in smart but hugely entertaining techno that offers a refreshing and eagerly anticipated alternative to anaemic synth washes or testosterone-crushed distortion.
• ‘Liber Dogma’ is a satisfying and hugely enjoyable journey into sound.
