RAVE ANGST/Exist/30303
A compilation of atmospheric live recordings on a double 12 inch pack. Twelve serene ambient and IDM tracks by German producer Rave Angst, who let his modular system and Roland TB-303 on the loose. The vibe is moody and production is crisp with lots going on to keep your brain busy. It really feels like we're entering Rave Angst's soul - he definitely did not hold back as this is deeply emotional and - let's face it - often apocalyptic sounding music. The unsettling melodies on the album are strangely held together by metallic sounding rhythms but only just... Rave Angst really challenges the listener on this album. It's all high quality stuff with 1994, Sunday Morning Self-Medication Acid and Paralyzed (Dub) being our personal favorites. Exist is a massive recommendation for anyone into mid 90s Aphex Twin and early Plastikman. Essential stuff.
