Dopplereffekt - Calabi Yau Space '2007

Tracks list

This is Dopplereffekts first release on Rephlex. Dopplereffekt are one of the
more mysterious units of the contemporary electronic music scene: there are no
interviews and hardly any live appearances. The composers hide behind strange
German pseudonyms and the song titles and lyrics are in English and make up a
strange mixture of scientific, sexually explicit and political allusions.
Dopplereffekts music is also highly eclectic and unusual. Forefathers Kraftwerk
seem to be more than present in the music, but Dopplereffekt have developed
their very own and highly influential sound aesthetic. Dopplereffekt are
originally from Detroit, though some believe them to be now based in Europe.
Critics claim their electro-style resembles that of Drexciya, and that they were
indeed early members of that now-legendary outfit. This album is a perfect
sequel to Linear Accelerator, their album release on International Deejay Gigolo
in 2003, and accompanies this years classic retrospective Gesamtkunstwerk on
Clone. Musically, it follows a more ambient/soundscape/experimental/electronic
course akin to Der Zyklus Biometry project or even Arpanets Quantum
Transposition and Inertial Frame releases. Though some find Calabi-Yau Space
more concept-driven, it is just as engaging and combines the science of sound
with other fields of physics. After a few listens, youll notice some similar
themes running thru various tracks: the musical expression of physics and sonic
equations the likes of which will scramble your brain.
