RELEASE DATE

After leaving both critics and the dancefloor in awe with his 2012 debut album
Orbiting
(50 011CD/LP),
Jéremy Guindo
aka
Bambounou
returns to 50WEAPONS in full-length form with
Centrum
. While his debut album painted a futuristic, extraterrestrial picture, Guindo now tries to explore what the future would look like on Earth: "For
Centrum
, the concept is a little bit different, it's back on Earth, still in the future and it's not so bright. Have you seen
Akira
or read
Dune
or even
Foundation
? It's this kind of vibe for me," he says. Hold on -- outlining a dark future in a techno full-length... hasn't that already been done? Not in this manner. Guindo paints a picture of a future where everything is in order and no one can get out of the system. "Composer" is a perfect example, with its grooves evoking the image of a conveyor belt for production or transport. Guindo tinkers with (real Detroit) electro synths throughout the album, leading the listener into a trance state that he interrupts with the slamming percussion of tracks like "Each Other." While
Orbiting
reflected Guindo's experience growing up the 13th arrondissement of Paris (home to big building blocks and the Quartier Asiatique),
Centrum
somewhat diminishes the presence of his bass and footwork influences. Ambient and techno are what Guindo is leaning toward now.
Centrum
may not be a typical club record, stuffed with bangers from start to finish, though it does contain material for good DJs to sink their teeth into. Instead, while it's sure please fans of
Orbiting
, it also provides the kind of listening experience treasured by mature techno fans.
