The twelve compositions abandon the furrow-browed quest for cutting-edge exploration exchanging it for an altogether more carefree & fun approach, with only the footwork-influenced 'Monj2' and exclusive track ‘Forger’ directly referencing any current electronic influences. Opening with the gorgeous 'XT'; a smudged piano/moog melody recalls the abandon of 70s pop melodies before the composition falls out into airy arpeggiated funk with splashy drums. 'Ritm' debuts with ravey piano and whistling synths, condensing early dance music tropes into a gauzy bitter-sweet haze. 'Smeester's gentle metallic melodies give way to a menacing hip hop style bass and drums, and chords that drift and decay. 'Pulsar' is a perfect interpretation / tribute to late 70s electronic cosmic space-disco, gently nudged towards more modern dancefloors with pulsing electronics racing above robust kicks / claps. After the aforementioned Monj2, comes 'New Bimple' which succinctly uses a short space of time, woody, swinging 2-step drums and downcast piano melody, to bring the album’s halfway point to a sadder, unresolved note. 'PRG' is beatless, full of gentle whispy coiling melodies through a distorted lens. 'Tambor' rolls slowly on metallic percussion, a sad melodic figure that repeats into despair, as the album finishes with closer 'Blem' which mixes trappy snares and twilight atmosphere with big melodic brushstrokes that remind one of John Foxx. If one thing unites the approaches here it's a new-found sense of emotion transformed into sound with the skill of a truly seasoned innovator and soldier. Welcome back µ-Ziq!

82.5/100 跟早年那种锐利的风格不同了,他越往后面越ambient气 越有自然环境的清新味,但前面几张同风格的做得无聊,这张的声音安排才又开始流畅起来了,总体还是相当好评

要知道现在N多IDM的吱吱的炸裂声源自他的发明,这位IDM的奠基人之一,在90年代就缔造传奇了。原以为他03之后就废了,后来玩了一阵噪音,实在不敢恭维。 从上张专辑开始似乎有些回勇,也许是岁月沉淀,反而把音乐做舒缓了,这张也一样,如果期待不是太高,听来还是不错的。
