Album Notes & Community Reviews

Berlin-based DJ and producer Phillip Sollmann crafts a highly conceptual techno album deeply inspired by Francis Bacon's unfinished utopian novel. Incorporating spoken-word passages detailing acoustic engineering and societal perfection, the record masterfully blends driving minimal techno rhythms with vast, echoing drone soundscapes. It serves as a heady, intellectually stimulating entry in the Ostgut Ton catalog.
