Uh-oh, the king of glitch has got the bass bug. This is ostensibly a follow up to 2008's unitxt. I think it's fair to say that this is an altogether dirtier affair. The ultra-precision clicks, blips, and edits are all present and correct, but there's something grindingly industrial running underneath everything here. The tone is quite varied, ranging from the sinisterly atmospheric to the almost catchy (well, if you're in the mood to let yourself be caught). Maybe he's picked up a couple of tricks from RN contributors like Senking or from his collaborations with Ryoji Ikeda... but nobody is like Carsten Nicolai when it comes to constructing a sound which is perfectly mechanical and yet has such a visceral human connection.
I bought this from Boomkat. They call it Electronic.
