Requiem for Lost Cosmonauts (MP3)

Rhythmic drones from Lefolk

20130127-lefolk

*Isn’t This Dangerous?* by **Lefolk** is a collection of rhythmic drones that lean heavily to the minimal side of minimal techno. The beats, such as they are, are more a matter of gentle pulses than overt metrics. If the highs and lows of a sine wave can be appreciated as a rhythmic contour, then at its best that is about as far as *Isn’t This Dangerous?* gets. A key track is the one that closes the album. Titled “Alexis” (all the titles reportedly correlate with “lost cosmonauts”), it is a slowly proceeding series of waves, afflicted with occasionally more brittle elements ([MP3](http://ia801605.us.archive.org/0/items/rb116/08-alexis.mp3)). There are eight tracks on the album in total. In addition to Alexis there are tributes to Gennady, Mirya, Aleksei, Piotr, Serenti, Ludmila, and Ivan.
