DELL & FLUGEL
Title:
Superstructure
Label:
LABORATORY INSTINCT (GERMANY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.50
Catalog #:
LI 008CD
This is the premiere collaboration between
Christopher Dell
and
Roman Flügel
(
Alter Ego
,
Eight Miles High
). Brace yourself for
Superstructure
, an incredible poly-stylistic fusion of jazz, hip-hop, glitch, dub and techno.
Flanger
devotees will be drawn to the pair's like-minded genre-defying approach, with Dell's sparkling vibes a recurring focal point throughout the album's nine adventurous tracks. The wild, vibes-drums duet "Miniaturisation" suggests the playful outcome of a lost
Frank Zappa
-meets-
Thelonious Monk
session, the mysterious "Wolkenbügel" marries clip-clopping tom-tom rhythms with
Hancock
-flavoured Rhodes ruminations, and "4 Door Body Cell" offers bright minimal techno bolstered by lashing handclaps and frenzied cymbal patterns. Distinguished by a rich array of soft gamelan tinklings and burnished trumpet musings, the jazz-tinged stuttering hip-hop of "Urban Practise" is equally arresting, with Dell's cascading vibes detouring into an oblique solo that would do Monk proud. Bookended by the glitchy soul-jazz and clipped syncopations of the warm opener "Superstructure" and the darker, hypnotic glitch-dub of "Dirty Realism," this remarkably assured album inhabits a unique computer-enhanced interzone of futuristic sounds.

Study For a Skyscraper EP
Label:
LABORATORY INSTINCT (GERMANY)

Catalog #:
LI 009EP
After their first full-length collaboration called
Superstructure
, Berlin-based
Christopher Dell
and
Roman Flügel
(
Alter Ego
,
Eight Miles High
) release
Study For A Skyscraper EP
, featuring two
Superstructure
CD cuts not included on the vinyl version. Clearly designed for the club, the bright bumping techno of "4 Door Body Cell" and the infectiously grooving title track are exquisite dance floor material. Best of all,
A Guy Called Gerald
(
Gerald Simpson
) contributes what he calls a "drop-tech infusion" of Dell & Flügel's entire album. This UK acid house pioneer alchemizes the album's sonic particles into a fabulous slab of driving electro-techno.
