Superstructure

Brace yourself for Superstructure, an incredible poly-stylistic fusion of Jazz, Hip-Hop, Glitch, Dub, and Techno from Dell & Flügel (collaborators Christopher Dell and Roman Flügel). Flanger devotees will be drawn to the pair's like-minded genre-defying approach, with Dell's sparkling vibes a recurring focal point throughout the album's nine adventurous tracks. The wild, vibes-drums duet 'Miniaturization' suggests the playful outcome of a lost Frank Zappa-meets-Thelonious Monk session, the mysterious 'Wolkenbügel' marries clip-clopping tom-tom rhythms with Hancock-flavored Rhodes ruminations, and '4 Door Body Cell' offers bright minimal techno bolstered by lashing handclaps and frenzied cymbal patterns. Laboratory. 2006.
