An astonishingly prescient album of early electronic music
-
We Say...
When Basic Channel and Pan Sonic turned techno upside down in the early '90s, melting rigid structures into dub undercurrents and sinewave miasma, their music was heralded as practically sui generis, a kind of spontaneous mutation that had leapfrogged several rungs on the evolutionary ladder. In fact, more than a decade earlier Germany's Konrad Becker had already begun working with similar sounds and technologies. Originally released in 1982, Monotonprodukt 07 extends the investigations of classical computer music, with its emphasis on mathematical structures and intimidating research notes, into Krautrock's droning song structures on tracks like "Leben im Dchungel" and the opening "Ein Wort," while the droning "Teil 2" and "Teil 3" lay the groundwork for a generation of dark ambient composers (even as they look backwards at the Theater of Eternal Music). But it's the closing three selections that prove the most shockingly prescient. Braiding arrhythmic bursts of bleeps into long, pulsing sequences, the tracks offer a blueprint for Jeff Mills, Pole, the Kompakt label and virtually every other icon of minimal techno. Listening today feels a little like translating a Mayan tablet that turns out to contain the verbatim text of the Futurist Manifesto.
