Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to the German Kompakt imprint, the pioneering electronic outfit constructs an expansive, rhythmically focused journey comprised of four extended suites. 'Moonbuilding 2703 AD' masterfully layers intricate hip-hop drum loops, dub-inflected basslines, and bizarre, conversational samples over lush ambient textures. The record serves as a polished, hypnotic reaffirmation of the group's foundational role within the ambient house movement.
