tmo: insomniac

Moscow-based TMO aka Leonid Lipelis won over Public Possession with "Melodic Jam," which perfectly merges a raw acid sound with beautiful atmospheric synth pads and an almost naïve melody -- powerful and emotional stuff. For his TMO project, Lipelis records one-take jams with his studio hardware and makes only the slightest subsequent adjustments; the sound has a lot of grit and spontaneity. "Jam IV" is shorter and a bit slower than "Melodic Jam"; it gets to the point quickly and leaves no questions unanswered.
