The fifth entry in their ongoing series of EPs for Mute, Byetone and Alva Noto (aka Olaf Bender and Carsten Nicolai) here show how far they can push their experimental electronica. ‘Operate at Your Optimum’ plays like a vintage Proem track, all rough IDM beats and glitching static, while ‘The Future of Memory’ snarls and fidgets like a custom-made Judge Dredd soundtrack. On the flipside, ‘Sense and Simplicity’ recalls ‘Tri Repetae’-era Autechre and ‘Make.Believe’ hums like a dying TV. [Source]
