Nullgrad - Seeds

Seeds" is the second Nullgrad album, and quite a step onward for them. Possibly the label's boldest foray into techno territory yet, it charts new territories of deep, heartfelt electronic music, always on the verge of clubcompatibility and superb home listening. Whereas the Nullgrad debut "The Shepherd's Satellite" featured upfront rhythms and strong Industrial flavours, the follow-up is quite another cup of tea with the only obvious link being the trademark space atmospheres featured throughout the album. The leitmotifs of "Seeds" are Buddhist monks' chants and the sounds of weather - not samples, but actual field recordings taken by Matthias on his extensive travels of Southeast Asia, giving the album an attractive uniqueness. The backbone of "Seeds" though is the rhythm, bouncy Techno beats in the 120 bpm range - and the groove of all grooves. Understated and distinguished, Nullgrad explores various styles of related origin: Dub Techno, Minimal Techno, classic Electro, moody industrial. Style: Electro/Techno
