Bleep

Berlin’s Anno Stamm (aka 50weapons regular Anstam aka Lars Stoewe) returns to Dublin’s All City Records for his first album with the label. The guiding vibe is gloopy toytown acid techno, as exemplified by ‘The Streets Where We Live’ and ‘Kneedeep Into Intravision’, while ‘My Talking Machine’ and ‘Das Anno Stamm Theme’ make wonderful use of Daft Punk-style vocoder effects. With its crunchy drums and synth noodling, ‘The Cities I Waltzed Through’ could easily be on Planet Mu, and ‘Sensing Social Sirens’ takes a gorgeous left turn with lush synths, a steady heartbeat pulse and gentle bass ripples.
