This is one of the greatest analog tunes i’ve ever heard.

With his last album  A.R.P. on Emerald & Doreen, Louis de Tomaso has been oscillating between the likes of John Carpenter's mysteriously evocative synthetic soundtracks and the industrial narco-grooves of sadly departed Andrew Weatherall.
Dream sequence takes a lighter approach to contemporary disco house, leaves the darkness behind and focusses on brighter days. Two massive remixes by Dim Zach & Matteo Veroni set this EP up for summer.

The Analog Session: Seven textures of sound – Digital album – total time 57'

Alexander Robotnick/ Ludus Pinsky's fifth album under the name of “The Analog Session” is quite different from the previous three. On the one hand the duo seems to be back to the electronic minimalism of its first album, on the other it shows more rigor  in reducing the  editing of tracks  and avoiding the long time cuts of their previous works. In a nutshell  they didn't work  on a structure. So the   7 tracks of the album , no doubt fairly long but totally enjoyable , very clearly  express the two artists’ attitude to improvisation.
Their music can be defined as traditional analog electronic , based on arpeggios, short sequences of notes , echoes, modulation on filters and melodic improvisation. Nothing new, therefore,  but  a deep musical sensitivity  capable of exploiting  the amazing  modulation possibilities of their equipment  - which is always played and never just programmed.
Most tracks are based on arpeggios, sometimes written sometimes improvised, which in turn evolve into an ever changing music background as the track proceeds. The two artists improvise melodies and bass lines upon it. 
The drum parts , that in some cases  only make their appearance at mid-track , are kept intentionally minimal  as they are not meant to  play any big role in the track but simply work as a kind of  metronome  in 4/4  that supports arpeggios and  chord riffs , often in 5/4 and 6/8 . It’s also noteworthy that  each track is characterized by  a different modal scale, often Phrygian or Dorian but also Mixolydian.
The  two instruments  used to produce this album are an SH101 heavily modified by Ludus and a Poly 800 where hardly anything of the original synth is left but its body. The choice of working with  two instruments only (a monophonic and a polyphonic one) allowed the duo to produce a compact and consistent sound that keeps flowing all along the album  recalling the main characteristic  of  their first work "N5 from Outer Space".  

Tracks: 
1) Extended Chord   9'20”  -  Dm (dorian)   Electronic      (120 bpm)
2) Analog Heroes     5'58”    Dm (phrygian) -  Electro-disco  (123 bpm)
3) Two Arpeggios      8'59”    Gm (dorian)-  Electronic      (130 bpm)
4) RU-more 130        7'39”     no key             Electro/D&B  (130 bpm)
5) Liquid reflections  8'54”     AbM               Ambient         (100 bpm)
6) Tech Obsession    9'27”     Bb7 (mixolydian)    Techno  (140 bpm)
7) Broken song         6'49”      Ebm (dorian)  Down beat   (90   bpm)

Arrival of the Wave eröffnet das Album III mit einem langsamen, organischen Aufbau.
Atmosphärische Pads, tiefe Flächen und erste rhythmische Impulse ziehen dich hinein – wie das erste Aufleuchten des Horizonts über dem Meer.
Ein Intro, das dich vorbereitet: auf den Moment, in dem die Welle kommt und die Reise beginnt.
