Description
2020, 12″ LP, -ous/SMEM Music.
Due to his notably prolific nature and the sheer volume of music he releases, you’d be forgiven for letting some of Legowelt’s full length excursions pass you by. We’d recommend paying attention to his latest, Unconditional Contours, though, as it’s arguably one of his more interesting, out-there and atmospheric collections of tracks for some time. For starters, it’s not rooted in his usual dancefloor-focused style, but rather electronic ambient, 1970s kosmiche and the far-sighted modular experimentalism of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. What you get is a series of ear-catching soundscapes interspersed with occasional beat-driven excursions such as crunchy, melodic electro number ‘Chateau Dans Le Ciel Farfista Synthorchestra 2’ and the gorgeous ‘Prophet Vector Synth Dazzling in the Sun’ – all seemingly created using vintage modular, analogue and early digital synths. – Juno
