{"product_id":"monolake-gravity","title":"Monolake - Gravity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwenty-four years on from its original release, Monolake's seminal \u003cem\u003eGravity\u003c\/em\u003e receives its first vinyl pressing courtesy of Field Records. Occupying its own space at the intersection of dub techno, minimal and electronica, it's an ageless album of staggering vision and technological prowess which has matured into an all-time pillar of electronic music. This edition, remastered by the album's key architect Robert Henke, follows on from the recent reissue of Monolake's first album, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/monolake-hongkong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHongkong\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. \u003cspan\u003eArriving just after the turn of the millennium, \u003cem\u003eGravity \u003c\/em\u003emarked a turning point for Monolake. With co-founder Gerhard Behles moving on to other ventures, Henke produced most of the album solo and journeyed deeper into spatial exploration and the dub-informed principles that underpinned their project from the start. Minimalism and negative space run through the whole record, from the keen slithers of percussion pinging through lattices of delay to the hypnotising pulse of subliminal basslines anchoring the tracks. \u003cem\u003eGravity \u003c\/em\u003eis a record which hangs on techno's linearity as a form of meditation, but the crystalline clarity of the mix allows every micro-fluctuation in rhythm and sound to cut through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompared to a lot of overly sterile digital music\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereleased in the early 2000s, \u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eGravity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e endures thanks to the warmth and texture Henke elicited from his processes — even when leaning into none-more-digital effects like bit reduction.
