Fauxpas Musik Germany Vinilo y CD

Review: Like the orographic cloud formed around the hill on the front cover, Martinou's latest record is a restorative future garage via techno myst. Released through the German minimalists Fauxpas - who've confirmed their pride at having finally gotten to release with the Swedish artist - this vinyl edition contains an exclusive track on the fifth runout, 'Thoughtless'. But the fact is, all the tunes here are more than worthy for soundtracking a condensate moment of downtime and renewal. Paced blissfully, our faves are 'Woven' and 'Hold Then Release', both of which exculpate all our anxieties through burbling, filtered woodblocks and field-studied sonics, hand-picked to arrest and wow. A sublime new outing from the Sewer Sender founder.

Review: Fauxpas Musik taps into the talents of St Andrew for a fresh new techno outing, No Rain No Flowers. After the opening 'Prologue' things get serious with the well-constructed synth and groove layers of 'Apricity'. 'Better Days Are Coming' is more widescreen and ambient laced deep electronic bliss, and our favourite might be 'No Rain, No Flowers' with its unhurried drums and steely hits all softened by more dreamy pad work and a sense of emotional longing. 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' keeps the mesmeric synth work flowing and a tasteful Outro rounds out this most engaging of trips.
