Text from Vital Weekly #1070 (via Discogs) :
"Here's another release by Modelbau - one of the more recent additions to an impressively extensive set of monikers used by Frans de Waard. All material on this cassette was taken from one single evening-long session. Opener “Mechanik” consist very aptly of a dense mechanical drone that is accompanied by noise based cuts & clicks - a bit like a slow fuse box singing along to chaotic karaoke versions of Stefan Betke’s Pole. This goes on until modulated high end synth fragments make their way to the foreground while the glitches recede. “Measure” is a pleasant dive into a more distinctly synthesised sound that is perhaps somewhat akin to that of Thorofon; a dark modulated synth drone, analogue glissando pulses and a distorted ray of monotonous mid range radiation. The track builds up to a point where it just drops all parts except for the mid range layer that then modulates for a while and slowly echoes away into infinity. “Mass” is a filthy old generator faithfully simmering on, half-submerged in a vacated, muddy, construction light-lit excavation site, slowly waiting for the builders to return while rain starts pouring down. Quite evocative in a
different way is “Malfunction” in which we hear the alarm of a fancy Enterprise class spaceship on the verge of a warp core meltdown. Then suddenly somebody manages to either fix whatever was wrong with the core, or.. just muted the siren. The stifling tension of possible impending death becomes almost tangible during these last few minutes, not knowing whether it is the one thing or the other. Still in the end, ostensibly having dodged the bullet, we live. And to wrap up, “Moribund” brings us another lonely machine, but this time a snidy one inside a factory hall, concocting a megalomaniacal plan for world domination via Internet enslavement. It continues to
send out its addictive pulses into the ether, knowing that one day we will falter and it’ll be matrix time... Quite a trip this one and only 50 copies available so you’d better are quick."
