3 stars Almost four star!!!!

The most uncompromising Heldon album ever. My dear reviewing colleague Cesar Inca wrote such a fine review that I could only duplicate what he says. I will point out a few things though: My fave track is also Towards The Red Line but it is not a bonus track as mentioned in the info box but , man, does it smoke. So does the rest of the album except for that weird and out-of-place track Elephantia with its ethnic (African) percussions. It is probably the only reason why this albumdoes not get a fourth star right on.

If you ever meet a youngster into Techno and want to save his soul and get him on a better musical path, you might want to point out this kind of album as well as classic Can stuff because the minimalistic approach to Heldon's music is probably intriguing enough for Technoheads stand up and notice and to pay attention. Do not get me wrong Heldon is much more than rythm patterns repeated endlessly. Pinhas's admiration for Fripp is quite evident but not derivative and is probably even more violent that his "maître de pensées et d'inspiration". The bonus track is also riveting the listener to his seat.

Stunning work, astounding execution.
