There was always something very enigmatic about Minimum Syndicat.
For once, despite their name, they never were "minimalistic" - to the contrary.
During their first years of wider success ( ~2010 ), almost the entire club scene was dominated by the most reduced, most boring, and most minimal sounds.
But the Syndicat took a rebel stance there.
Their sound is huge, epic, complex, complicated, maximalist in every sense.
It makes you feel like you are not in some run down urban sprawl area, clubbing with your friends.
But on Planet X, in a large amphitheatre, and a massive ceremony is going down, while thousands of aliens move their feet.
We are looking at one of these early gems today - the Killing Forcefield EP (MS04) - because Halloween draws near, and the tracks are topically related.
We become informed about a Phantasm, (dark?) Forces, Bizarre Brainwaves are an occurance, and an Acid Assassin is on the loose.
And all of these tracks are the most wonderful Techno, House (in the original sense), Acid compositions...
Drenched in the bittersweet darkness that is hinted at by those track titles.
So dance in the moonlight on this one!
