I/They Don't Have No Function

This kid's only 20 years old and already he's got a few 12" under his belt. Kinda makes me jealous. This comes from the Traum Schallplatten compilation Interkontinental 5, which I have not heard the rest of yet and cannot comment on. I can say, however, that this track gets my hopes up for the rest of the record. I first heard it when I had the living room stereo cranked up one morning while I was in the shower, and I had to get out and listen to the whole thing again. Around the 4:30 mark, the entire track swells like a supernova waiting to explode and then rides out on a funky little tractor beam synth line that sucks me right in.

In other news, head over to music (for robots) and download the Gui Boratto track of the new Kompakt Total 7 compilation coming out soon. I seem to remember an ILM thread where someone joked that Thom Yorke's solo album was going to be a minimal techno album. Well, "Arquipelago" just might be what it would sound like. C'mon! It's just too close!
