Review: Architectural is an alias for Madridillan techno legend Juan Rico that sees him explore the deeper and textural shades of dub techno to rather stunning effect - as heard over the years on Pole Recordings, Semantica and his eponymous imprint. Appearing last year for Maceo Plex's main imprint, his latest outing is released via the Ellum Black sublabel, where it's said that Rico 'goes deeper into the hypnotic edge of his soundscape.' This is evident on the soulful and introspective opening cut "Romanticism Movement", while the cerebrally adrenalized tunnel vision of "A Girl With No Friends" bears all the hallmarks of his more well known Reeko moniker. Finally, "Never Yours Boy" proves yet again why he's considered one of Spain's go to producer's for hypnotic and industrial edged techno tools.
