Review: Having surprised a few with the far-out nature of his thrillingly ambient Let One Hundred Flowers Bloom release on Mister Saturday Night, Gunnar Haslam returns to dancefloor pastures with this follow-up for the esteemed NYC imprint. Opener "Poshlost" is trippy and melancholic, with dusty, dub techno-influenced chords ricocheting around a delay-laden sound-space, underpinned by a simple-but-effective rhythm. "Margareten" ups the intensity, with ragged acid lines and a relentless techno groove providing contrast to the deepness of his chords. Finally, "Replacement" sits somewhere between the two tracks, with rolling techno chords, fuzzy textures, gently building melodies and fizzing percussion creating a rush-inducing mood.
