Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Having battled with giants of isolationism such as James Plotkin on the influential Split series and brought in the likes of Gramm and Sun Electric to the superb Staedtizism compilation on his own Scape imprint, it's refreshing to see that Berlin's Stefan Betke keeping his own project true to form with even the title of his third long-player, following the stripped-down aesthetic of the music. Those who have chanced across Betke in the past will be well aware of what to expect, with a fusion of crunching atmospherics and Studio One-inspired low end created through the division and subdivision of digital masters until they are little more than ghosts of their original selves. Again the clicks and crackles of his broken Pole 4 filter are as important to the finished music as the constant, warm bass and fluid key skanks, but it is when these non-sounds collude with the broken melodics that it all begins to make sense - the drifting tuning of highlights "Karussel" or "Klettern," whose soundscapes crumble as quickly as they are formed, offer a strange beauty rarely caught in electronic music. --Kingsley Marshall
CD Description
All of Pole's dark, minor key dub filled with trademark "snap-crackle-pop" may sound alike, but that's exactly what some people say about Bach. Like Bach, Pole's music is filled with intelligence and humanity. The hissing and crackling that may sound random are actually the product of a well-developed aesthetic. His reputation as an avatar of modern dub is well deserved: Pole doesn't so much deviate from dub as he plays with a mutant strain of it that sounds like it was found in a Jamaican ganja field, parented by a chilly Scandinavian northern light on one side, and a rough, rootsy island sinsemilla on the other.
As influenced by techno and modernelectronic music as he is by dub, Pole's melodies are less prominent here than on his previous disc, but the mood is still the same: primordial, powerful, like a thunderstorm. This is music that was created carefully and should be listenedto carefully.
