Analogical Force 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Not in fact the work of a studio duo, Promising/Youngster is in fact the chosen name of electro investigator Diego Cadierno. Cadierno has found a supportive home in Analogical Force, who he returns to with this finally constructed EP of needlepoint machine funk spread across four tracks. There's an electronica slant to his music, not least on the likes of 'Frozen' with its fragile melodic threads and crispy, introspective beats. But 'Amen' and 'Highway' also feature plenty of slap to get a dancefloor moving, if that's what you require from your fresh electro grabs.

Review:  Vertical67, who also runs the The Vortex Traks label, gets Analogical Force underway for 2024 with this adventurous new album, Changes. The man born Thomas Pahl has worked under several aliases over the last ten years plus and uses this one for fierce electro that takes no prisoners. His discordant sound emerges again here with plenty of fusions of dreamy melodies, angst-ridden breakbeats, reflective sonic vistas and rugged machine rhythms. Some of our faves include the tumbling arps and lithe bass of 'Moments Of Jo' and more menacing moods of 'Fading Memories'. It all adds up to a far-reaching album and hugely compelling journey.
