meditative, absorbing dance music in true moritz style — at times seemingly transfixed by its own elements, and minimal almost to vanishing-point, but quickly back ticking, kicking and amassing, with the lethal dubwise density of the classic berlin sound. twelve minutes long, trenchant and forbidding but sharply alive, the dub itself is a kind of deep fort-da gambit which scoops your brain out for a quick sluice, before replacing it slightly skewiff. dont drop your guard because of the tresor.

the moritz von oswald trio operates at the bleeding edges where musical lineages collide. feeling for the shared heartbeat that pulses through dub, techno and jazz, it seeks out points of contact before exploding them outward into hypnotic explorations of rhythm, texture and tone. after two previous studio albums and one live album through honest jons, the trio - moritz von oswald, max loderbauer (nsi / sun electric) and sasu ripatti (vladislav delay / luomo) - returns with fetch, their most fully-realized voyage yet into these in-between worlds.

the trio of moritz von oswald, max loderbauer (nsi / sun electric) and sasu ripatti (vladislav delay / luomo), with a third album, this time enriched and expanded by guitar contributions from paul st hilaire (also known as tikiman), and double bass courtesy of marc muellbauer (via ecm). horizontal structures is palpably a more open, more expressive album than the previous studio recording, vertical ascent. there is more contrast, more light and shade. st hilaire and muellbauer add fresh drama and swing to the intimate tonal and rhythmic interactions of the core grouping. the coherence of the five-piece is remarkable, the boundary between acoustic and electronic undone.

a side = fresh jazzy techno as we like it! / flipside = fresh steppin dubstep remix from digital mystikz !!! well done!!

huge intergalactic extended techno jazz killer cuts with vladislav delay, max loderbauer (of nsi) & guests carl craig & francois k, 1st pressing comes in handmade sleeves & incl. cd as well.

through basic channel and rhythm and sound — his collaborations with mark ernestus — moritz von oswald first of all conjured from thin air, then comprehensively mapped out the grounds of a deep exchange between real deal jamaican dub and classic, detroit style techno. the duos accomplishment and influence are immense. the repercussions of their work within electronic dance music have been incalculable...
