Struggle & Emerge

by Lakker

supported by

Rev Mannix When I first tried this, it was playing through someone's phone speaker... It made me want to stamp on it to make it quiet, but when I had this spinning in the correct format on a turntable and big speakers it was awe inspiring. Amazing piece of work, highly recommended. Favorite track: Emergo.

aseek it just makes sense

Nic Brown I've heard some bruising techno in my time, but "Struggle & Emerge", commissioned by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision to examine the relationship between the Dutch and water (no, me neither) has certainly enabled Lakker to vent the noisier parts of their spleen. Assembled from a large variety of field recordings, tracks range from the machine gun beats of "Maeslantkering Gating" which could terrify a Perc fan to the variety of brain-strafing ambience Shapednoise specialise in. Tell you what though, it's as addictively listenable as anything else they've ever released. Favorite track: Maeslantkering Gating.

Black sun in a white world. Techno, trip-hop, DIY D&B. Nice dark atmospherics too. The world will not be a nicer place for this album, and that's a good thing. Simon

Young Death, Nightmarket
by Burial

supported by 30 fans who also own “Struggle & Emerge”

perhaps not so innovative, given Burial's stylistic parameters, these tracks are more like a frolic, made of fragments who are like distant relatives, getting nowhere really, but still being enjoyable in their atmospheric anticipation. This is more so in the case of Nightmarket, which fits what I like to think of as lo-fi trance, as anticipated in a superb track like ashtray wasp, although with a beatless and more orchestral approach in this case. aelena
