achterbahn d'amour: acid test 13

Acid Test continues their journey with the return of Achterbahn D'Amour. On their first proper release in three years, Jool and Iron Curtis patiently craft an intricate sound world -- with the opening track, major-key pads hearken towards a bright future, hi-hats rustle like leaves and on "Dehaveland", percussive elements fall into beautiful, random unison. Samuel Van Dijk's vaunted VC-118A project steps up for a remix, turning in a taut techno version that unfurls smoke pillars of ghostly ambience. The duo wraps up with an unexpected dreamy electro turn, "Don't Talk To Me".
