SAFE IN HARBOUR

Safe In Harbour is an unusual record, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. Max Loderbauer, who recorded it with Ricardo Villalobos, made an album last year called Ambiq; he also played on Sounding Lines, the most recent Moritz Von Oswald Trio LP. All three records come from the same pocket of the German techno avant-garde. All three balance live instrumentation and distilled electronics, and recall jazz in their fluid, intuitive structures. But where those other efforts fell flat, Safe In Harbour is considerably better. Perhaps this is down to the chemistry between its two collaborators.  https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/
