Eric Cloutier launched Palinoia last year with a single of his own, but now he s turned to Berlin mainstays Exercise One to lay down some of their trademark psychoactive machine music for the second installment. Heptagon sports metallic synth notes clanging out over a freight train of techno drums, while Prism takes a more nimble approach to twist out its various synthetic squeaks. Nitrogen is a warmer proposition, placing the emphasis on chords and melodies while still aiming squarely at the dancefloor. Thirty Four finds the duo veering away from the 4/4 dogma to deliver a captivating kind of broken techno in a soundscape loaded with tension and ominous empty space.
