The production and DJ sets from Metabomen aka Krause Duo is constructed for the most part as a free-spirited bunch with a special twist. It doesnt matter whether the material is with a jazz catalog, a frizzy sound, a dragging house or a techno press. An inimitable signature is not only clearly identified, no, but for the listeners of Krause Duo the good ol 10-second preview doesnt need three guesses. The answer from every contestant in the studio booth comes as if shot out from a cannon, so distinct is that Krause formulation. from depth and nevertheless a clubby art with stay-fresh ideas. Here, reliable doesnt mean stagnant. For the (up to now) 34th release from Musikkrause, Ian Simmonds is comfortably on hand for both sides of the vinyl disc in the studio. Out comes two monumentally deep waltzes full of raunchy charm and a knee-deep appreciation for jazz. The impact of both tracks is so spiritual that to speak of dance music is not the issue at hand, but rather something of a ghostly slam to the body. If you listen closely enough you can hear the diligent work of your own being. By means of the poetically-painted tones of Simmonds and the clutter, which despite the many tonal designs and devices in this >authoritive-techno<, it has no fore-bearer. You can also tell the form of the work undertaken by the joint venture Krause/Simmonds isnt complete by a long shot even though in this manifestation there is nothing left to add. The distribution of dynamics appears to be so well-coordinated that there is simply the thrill of savoring such thoughtful club music
