kölsch: speicher 97

Kölsch returns to Kompakt following the tremendous success of 2016's Grey. For Speicher 97, Rune revisits the bold, catchy minimalism of his earlier days: think of his Ink And Needle alias or Kölsch's first Speicher/Kompakt Extra release and you're not too far off the mark. "Push" is a raucous, sawtooth-y banger that quickly evolves into a high-flying space ride, thanks to its bursts of melody and a deep string break. On the flipside, "Goodbye" creates a delightfully melancholic mood enhanced (and transcended) with organ-like synth textures, retro-futuristic bleeps and fragmented alien voices.
