kobosil: - ----

The fifth release on Ostgut Ton's sister label, Unterton, is an obscurely-titled EP from Kobosil. After a self-released debut, his second EP places him somewhere between noise, techno and the verve for sobriety. . The opening track merely insinuates futurism; through its cadence with analog connotations, "Contact" places itself firmly between years past and tomorrow. Both the throbbing, psychedelic sci-fi theme of "Aggregate" and the emphatic, steadily-rising synth-line of "Osmium" may be called purist techno. The EP concludes with "Herschel" and underlines what constitutes Kobosil's music: singularity.
