vamos scorcho Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 these guys are great listened to hong kong last night after taking a bunch of pills (standard activity for me) and i must say, amazing, amazing, amazing polygon cities is also pretty cool but i don't know if i like it as much as hong kong. less ambient, less depth, more rhythm Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48839-monolake/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehauntingsoul Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Momentum is best IMO, and Cinemascope and Interstate are also really really good. Check out the singles Atlas/Titan, and Alaska Melting, both of those are excellent. Tetris and White_II are the best Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide thehauntingsoul's signature Hide all signatures Last.fm SteamID: Thehauntingsoul My EP Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48839-monolake/#findComment-1119772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamos scorcho Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 i'll have to check out every last thing they've done. seems like theyre quite creative and musically intelligent. looking for momentum right now they've got a really good way of transporting you to their futuristic world of man made nature Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48839-monolake/#findComment-1119776 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehauntingsoul Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) realistically, pretty low. Its a little too dancey/poppy for me. Its not bad, but they have done much much better. Gravity and Momentum are my favorites. You really should check out some of their singles though specifically get the two I was talking about, Alaska Melting and Atlas/Titan. Again though, its all about Momentum, and those two singles, do the other albums after.

azatoth Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) anyone checked out henke's latest solo, indigo_transform, basically a 60 minute reworking of the indigo track from cinemascope? i really like his layering buddha work and the atom/document one.

Guest headonist Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) I got copies of Indigo_Transform for me and my friend, and we both love it! However, not very similar to Monolake. Momentum is the album I listened to least. But they are all good though, it depends what mood I am in.

vamos scorcho Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 momentum is great excellent, really enjoying it, more so than polygon cities i can tell this group is going to be in my mix for a while to come. i love the atmosphere they set up, though it can be a bit menacing at times Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48839-monolake/#findComment-1119809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 my favourites of monolake are interstate and hongkong, the remastered versions. the alaska/melting and atlas/titan 12"s are awesome aswell and sound fucking massive loud. the melting track especially.

thehauntingsoul Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'll have to concede my earlier statement about Polygon_citites. I was listening the other day and I realized how awesome of an album it is. I still think Momentum is better though.

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 His work as Robert Jan Henke is also worth checking out, lovely drones. He also did quite a few performances using just buddha machines, there are several recordings available.
