Almost a month has passed since the release of Stern-Gerlachs försök and a few reviews have appeared on various blogs. Here’s a little summary.
20jazzfunkgreats summarised a thoroughly surreal but enthusiastic review of Kalabaliken i Bender with the words:
It’s pure gold – perhaps the gnarliest piece of dark rumbling colossal euro-techno I’ve heard since Motivii Tuntenaton’s 1939.
I’d never heard of Motivii Tuntenaton before reading this, but having listened to the track, I have to say it’s not a bad reference point at all. Chugging, slomo, bass-heavy tech house with atmospherics aplenty, although it’s maybe a tad closer to the Border Community sound than my stuff.
A nicely well-informed and pretty spot-on review from Sonic Minefield concludes with the words:
The Stern-Gerlachs Försök EP is a quality listen with plenty of retro electro fun to be had.
Warren Ellis liked the cover and said about Gravitationskraftens stilla vrede:
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s my favourite piece on the release.
DEZ at Music, Musings and Miscellany also preferred the last two tracks and wrote:
It reminds me of a dystopian version of Middlesbrough’s vast chemical works. Both it and its companion piece are superbly visual tracks.
But I think my favourite comment has to be Zen from Nomad Radio’s succinct and to the point endorsement:
I’ve got it. It’s fucking mint.
Tracks have also been featured on Bleep43, Paradigm Shift and Are Friends Electric podcasts among others. A good start I think.
