Cosmic techno group, Pleasurekraft, is hitting 2020 with their new album titled ‘Love In The Age Of Machines‘. We see its release on their own Kraftek Records label. It contains 12 heart rate inducing tracks, ready to blow your mind.
This follows their huge remix track of Adam Beyer’s ‘Space Date’ last year. They showcase their forward-thinking grooves rippled with interstellar melodies and scintillating synths. Their music is an auditory and physical journey to be experienced.
Some Highlights To The Album
First off, ‘Last Sapien‘ portrays gritty dystopian societies, perfect for the album’s theme. ‘Nostalgic for the Future‘ is dark, rainy, and casts urban-lit textures down your spine while listening. If you sense impending doom reading the titles, you’ll feel a sense of wonder at how the music carries you through it all.
Secondly, ‘Panopticon‘ ft. Thomas Gandoy is a more intense track, like a voyage through the galaxy and back. ‘I Sing Body Electric‘ and ‘Main Sequence‘ carry their cosmic techno vibes you’ve been looking for. As a result, the build-up in your body releases with ‘Novacene‘. ‘At The Mountains of Madness‘ and ‘Primordial‘ have “krafty” titles and they elicit pounding heartbeats the more you listen to them. Thirdly, end with ‘Requiem For The American Dream‘ and you’ve got just the right amount of techno leading you adrift forever.
‘Hush‘, ‘The Occupant‘, and ‘Corpse Revive Number 3‘ add enlightenment to the other pessimistic tracks of the album. Combined with their abstract ideas for love, justice, liberty, art, and scientific beauty, this makes the perfect dystopian, sci-fi soundtrack.
As the title states, humanity in the age of machines can lose their way. Machines can surely take over our fragile bodies. What do we do?
