Omnitronic vinyl

When we first dropped the needle on this latest EP from long-serving German producer Anthony Rother - someone with an impressive track record of producing both high quality electro and throbbing club techno - we couldn't help but fall in love with what we heard. "Omnitronic" is little less than a blissful, glassy-eyed romp through hybrid electro/techno pastures, with Rother cleverly contrasting the shimmering beauty of his cyclical, life-enhancing melody lines with notably crusty, hiss-laden drum machine hits. Flip to the B-side and he opts for an altogether more robust and mind-altering concoction: the redlined, bass-heavy electro beats, minimal wave attitude and industrial grit of "GE (Miami Edit)". It's almost the perfect foil for the breezy and positive A-side.
