This is especially noticeable on tracks like \"Advent,\" \"Nata Alma\" and \"Volta Copy (Ambient Version),\" but the whole album is a joy in this respect. Schablitzki's handling of melody and harmony could almost be considered traditional, but it's with that realisation that his trickster instinct kicks in. He'll take what sounds like a car door slamming, warp it, slap a nice plate reverb on it, and call it a snare. \"Ago Lades\"—a minimal track that lasts 51 seconds, begins fading out after 30, and is one of my favourites here—uses what sounds like coffee cups clinking as percussion. \"Iklahx,\" another highlight, pierces a warm, fuggy atmosphere with sharp \u003cspan href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/499297-Clicks-Cuts\" data-tracking-id=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/499297-Clicks-Cuts\" color=\"primary\" font-weight=\"normal\" class=\"Text-sc-wks9sf-0 Link__StyledLink-sc-1huefnz-0 laxtuM\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eClicks \u0026amp; Cuts\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e-style processing, a move also heard on \"Ak-Do 5.\" Whatever loveliness Schablitzki conjures, rest assured he'll be along to disrupt it very soon. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"primary\" font-weight=\"normal\" class=\"Text-sc-wks9sf-0 CmsContent__StyledText-sc-1s0tuo4-0 jQHBrl\"\u003eOn \u003cspan href=\"..\/reviews\/9024\" data-tracking-id=\"\/reviews\/9024\" color=\"primary\" font-weight=\"normal\" class=\"Text-sc-wks9sf-0 Link__StyledLink-sc-1huefnz-0 laxtuM\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThora Vukk\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, his last album, Schablitzki weaved in five numbered pieces he labelled \"Brücke\" (bridge), dark ambient sketches that counterbalanced the sweeter sounds elsewhere.

The collaboration with Sidsel Endresen and Bugge Wesseltoft that follows is less cutesy (for something \u003ci\u003emore\u003c\/i\u003e cutesy, see the voicemails of the final track), and it bottles what Schablitzki excels at, and does so frequently here: surprising decisions, enveloping atmospheres and working with a glint in his eye. — (via Resident Advisor)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"primary\" font-weight=\"normal\" class=\"Text-sc-wks9sf-0 CmsContent__StyledText-sc-1s0tuo4-0 jQHBrl\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3398486596\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Pampa Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2x Vinyl, LP, Album\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Germany\u003cbr\u003eReleased: Jun 7, 2019\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: House, Techno\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: House \/ Electro \/ Techno\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pampa Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43906483781790,"sku":"673799291418","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a0138098110_10--1.jpg?v=1717077896","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/robag-wruhme-venq-tolep","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
