"Darkness is back! Hail to the straightness of the very first Memo: for his 12" 'Earthquake' Ben Klock (aka Ben E. Clock on Sonarkollektiv, WMF Rec or BPitchcontrol) ambitiously explores the full range of darkness with some thinned-out techno and tech house. And yes, it's still the essence of things that counts. With track one, 'Earthquake', Ben ventures into minimal territory. Techno at the break of dawn -- darkening, grumbling and whimpering (!) In the convolutions of the brain. Paranoia? Nope, just acid bleeps. 'Frozen City' (a2) eclectically gets into the shuffle fever. They're so romantic, these swinging, slightly melancholic etudes. It seems as though a snow queen looks down upon her empire with ice crystals on her cheeks. Or were they frozen tears? A track that knows: everything's as transient as a vanitas still life. 'Lumo' on side B spins the darkness even further: a dry, knarzy variation on minimal funk with some real pumping beats. Put your hands in the air, please. And finally you may click your tongue to the last track 'Land of Milk & Honey': give us more kicking darkness, cheeky knarz sounds and tech-style electroids."
