I've just discovered his music today, fucking awesome! The first album that I played is "Momentum", I listened to it about 3 times in a day! "Cern" is my favourite on the whole album, what a super track, fantastic stuff really. Anyone else got addicted with it? :) P.S. If you know other good albums released by Monolake, don't hesitate to post them here! :) |

You said Woofer told you about monolake a long time ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try the desert e.p. if you can find it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, that's impossible, maybe you're confusing it with another artist... Bob: Ok, cheers. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Not woofer but I knew you had mentioned monolake at least once. |

polygon cities is an amazing album...the 12"s leading up to it and on the cd are ace..also check basic channel & chain reaction...din did some good stuff too...he's part of monolake on a few releases...check out monolake live...there's an mp3 of a live set on mnml.nl |

Thanks man, will do it for sure. |

Thats a great album and a great track. I enjoyed it immensly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
From the first listen, me too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, Cern is totally awesome. The rest of the tracks are neat, I guess, but a tad bit too ambient for my stressed out urban mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"MonoLake"? Will hafta look up.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
momentum is brilliant. i'm still not digging polygon cities. i think the vocals sound very cheap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno why i keep saying this. the only weak track is 'pipeline' imo. digitalis is OK, invisible is BLEH. rest is good. |
||||||||
|
|

not so into the earlier dubbier stuff, but everything from gravity onwards is pretty nice to me |

you might enjoy POLYGON_CITIES: Monolake :: Polygon_Cities CD :: Imbalance Computer Music :: Robert Henke has totally re-envisioned, and sumptuously repackaged his mission. Polygon_Cities is overtly futuristic dance music, not an area where Monolake has yet traveled, but only here it seems rectified by its simple purity of crystal clear sound and structural emphasis on the beat. It helps being a software guru who has to experiment less with the end product, and he most certainly shows off his wares on the funky opener “Pipeline.” These days Monolake is again touring as a duo with a new partner at the helm who goes by the moniker T++ and their live sound has more of a wide-bodied club appeal, as referenced heavily here on “CCTV” (guess touring Mutek and all things Canadian has staying power). When I first held the disc in my hand the glint of the super-gloss chemical structure against a matte coated black backdrop really caught my eye, it is by far the most ingenious cover design this year, as this polygon structure creates a highly optical map that pops and follows from front to back. “North” is a bit of a lazy track with some fade effects and repetitive percussion that are somewhat lost in the mix. The sounds of Henke’s Thunder Studies are hinted at towards the opening of what becomes the lab-induced dance-fest of “Invisible.” With handclaps and tribal beat rhythms that add new clever layers every 20 seconds or less, this makes something lucent yet dark. Henke is in control, shaping his cityscape. () |

||||||||
|

|
|
Yeah, so far cinemascope is my favorite monolake album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I downloaded Momentum once and I liked its sense of motion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any album (except the solo album imo) is essential listening. Use headphones. There's a new ep out |
||||||||

cinemascope - fucking awesome and great polygon cities - wicked ace and amazing fav tracks : monolake_polygon_cities\04-monolake--axis and monolake_polygon_cities\09-monolake--plumbicon |

justa normal human size i suppose. |

I like how after posting proof you were swept under the carpet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Every Monolake album is gold, I seriously love them all. Especially the new one, Polygon Cities, good to shake your ass to. And look into Robert Henke's solo stuff, too, especially Floating Point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So. New album and single out now. Is it good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listened polygon cities and it sounded to me like old autechre. suposedly the newest stuff is different and better so i'll check it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you talking about the new Robert Henke album Layering Buddha based on sounds from the Buddha Machine? There are samples of it and it sounds very nice, although definitely not techno. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"although definitely not techno." cheers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aaah, ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like the first and last track on polygon cities, the rest is ok but the first and last are the most enjoyable for me. i think arovane does a better "early autechre" than monolake, but anyone that comes close enough to be mentioned in the same breath as AE is a success, in my book. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I could answer but I don't think you trust my judgement anymore |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everything by monolake is good, that i've heard. momentum is awesome. hong kong is really good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ten points to you for correct answer! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In that other post he simply said he should try monolake. Therefore he might not necessarily have tried it until now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try Hong Kong by Monolake. It's composed of sounds made when he was there, its definately a chiller. If you have been to HK its a nice reminder too. |

Monolake is good, but its quite samey. Speaking of monolake, I want that of his though. The substance mix (1) is hot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still love his music, but I've also discovered new cool tracks/albums by him. |
