Iesope Drift - Vaihteaa (self-released)

[dcom]

Superb new album from hard techno stalwarts Iesope Drift after over 25 years of silence. I went above and beyond in the late 1990s so that I could get my hands on everything they released back then, and now their approach has mellowed out and this new album is much more mature, exchanging brute force to more thought-out expression and experimentation, making this album more IDM in contrast to the dark warehouse belters from beyond the millennium. Extremely highly recommended.

This is so good, dub techno sensibilities abound, minimal repetitive things, snatches of melody.
