TM404 – Kontra 29
Vuelve a nuestras cubetas la referencia número 29 del sello Kontra Musik, con seis tracks de TM404 recopilados en doble vinilo.
Think you heard all there is when it comes to techno made from Roland analogue gear? Well Andreas Tilliander has other ideas! Well regarded for his musical endeavours as Mokira with numerous albums on labels such as Kontra, Raster Noton, Type and Mille Plateux, Tilliander is a fan of aliases and unveils a new one in TM404 with illuminating results on this eponymous album. Tilliander presents eight polyrhythmic productions apparently recorded live in one take without any post arrangement using a combination of Roland gear, including the TB-303, TR-606, TR-7-07, TR-808 and MC-202 drum machine. Track titles are amusing literal, displaying what combination of each model Tilliander used and the name itself is an in joke for Roland nerds. Strangely meditative and possibly one of the most unique albums released so far this year.
