#2085 The Emperor Machine - Beyond the Space Egg

Space disco that distances itself from the standard Lindstrom/Prins/Terje pack via fetishistic obsession with textures and analog maneuvers, getting downright Enostic with those big warpy surges. There's a dose of wonky care poured into every tone that you can't help but appreciate.

Its less pure in structure too, willing to get a little rockist with its beats and pacing, sacrificing hypnosis for deigning to keep the listener entertained. Which sounds like a recipe for success, but I gotta admit: I miss the hypnosis, the purity. One of the few times where deviating from the blueprint might have been a net loss 3.5/5
