Autonomous vinyl

By now, we should all know what to expect from Boris Bunnik's Conforce project; after all, this is the shape-shifting producer's fifth album under the pseudonym in just under seven years. Like previous full-length Conforce excursions, Autonomous looks to the "intelligent techno" era (think mid-to-late '90s) for inspiration, serving up a range of spacey, inter-dimensional tracks that variously doff a cap to the Black Dog, the angular rhythms of Autechre, otherworldly deep techno, crystalline IDM, Drexciyan IDM and the outer-space brilliance of B12. Interestingly, there are a few more dense and creepy techno club tracks than we've come to expect, but even these tend towards to spacey and out-there.
