Arpanet is back and I'm glad to have some new sounds from Drexcyia / Dopplereffekt laboratories. After the 2002 Record Makers release titled "Wireless internet" and after the last year "Quantum transposition" (released for Rephlex), Arpanet is back on Record Makers with a beautiful album. This time Gerald abandoned the sidereal voyages of the previous album to get back to the laboratory to try a new formula of gathering rhythm and sounds. If the previous one was sounding a little too ambient, INERTIAL FRAME takes inspiration from the experiences gathered with Dopplereffekt and the result are fourteen beautiful tracks based on minimal melodies, robotic rhythms (many parts are arpeggios) and vocals. Yes! You read it right! This time Arpanet created also some songs with vocals and all (check "Zero volume", "Twin paradox", "Event horizon" or "Gravitational lense", to name few). The album is just perfect and on the tracks you'll find traces of Detroit techno, ambient and Kraftwerk. Usually when I review I listen to the music and I start writing some ideas, well, this time I had difficulties writing while listening, because I got totally caught by the atmosphere of the instrumental tracks and by the melodies that were looping into my head. You know, when you start to follow a cyclic melody and you catch another one to follow, it's difficult to focus on words. I'm satisfied!
