“Utterly perfect” Club
On 2007's “From Here We Go Sublime”, Sweden's Alex Willner delivered, literally, a sublime one hour’s worth of minimal techno - my album of the year. This was a significant landmark release for me – almost bounding the timeline from “Trans Europe Express” through “Selected Ambient Works” and taking electronica somewhere new, fresh and exciting for 2007 - machine-like, yet blissful. “The Deal”, a trance-inducing epic, was the centrepiece track; set to a heart-pounding beat it has a weightless sound that delivers a feeling of senselessness, as if you're in freefall with headphones on, in a dream-like state, wordless vocals echoing around your brain. This is a master craftsman at work for sure. And just HOW did he do that thing at 6:25? Try setting your alarm clock to THAT sleepyhead...
