fredrik almquist - not human

the last almquist production i made an entry about was very electro and so is this one but with a techno slant.  much like the previous one it also comes from a compilation. i found it on the direkt/cari lekebusch musik label compo "the listening audience" which is chock full of stunning downtempo, dub, electro & lower paced breakbeat musics.

this track kicks right along with an effective drummachine groove with a robotic feel to it, and i think it's a tr-707 or tr-606 that's operating. on top there is subtle echoed sounds & reverb effects which emphasise the metallic soundscape.

the sounds get heavier and heavier as the track progresses and the track shapes up for a really nice excursion.  the additional sounds make their way into the frequencies and it's all from subtle midrang-y synthbass to clonky percussion. also some vocodered vocals and a nice quaint synth hook that get a solo exposure in the small breakdown.

there is so much detail to the sound and i think it's such a stunning production that i fell in love with this track on the first listen. but to be honest i could have done an entry on a number of tracks from the compilation as the tracks are on a high quality range. some of those tracks i also recommend are: peter benisch's wonderful "skymning", conceiled project/adam beyer's dubby techno track "blåton", damm's noisy & dubby "feber erya & omnimotion's lovely "sensitive"
