Review: After a succession of releases for Token and Voltage, Border One returns to his own imprint. Morph ploughs a similar furrow as the Frozen Border/Horizontal Ground stable, offering a range of different approaches to the minimal techno sound. On "Altered State" and "Regenerate", it takes the form of angular rhythms and sheet metal percussion. Meanwhile, on the title track, Border One focuses on a more visceral approach, with a buzzsaw bass unravelling over dubby drums. Best of all though is Border One's interpretation of minimal's more esoteric side - as evidenced on the melancholic synths and accompanying rhythmic swagger of "Nocturnal Eye".
