monotone.......2007-01-08

This album is supposed to invoke a nightmarish vision of, well, 'polygon' (: futuristic, dehumanized) cities.
Believe me, it doesn't.
Apparently, Robert Henke is a little doubtful himself about his evocative powers, because on some tracks, he lets vocoded voices of the train station variety offer descriptions of the cityscape you should be seeing in your mind's eye. Spine-chilling stuff... if Doctor Who is your idea of spine chilling stuff.
Apart from that, there's no music worthy of the name. Just an hour of low-frequency drones with the occasional bleep or bloink, over state-of-the-art digital rhythms showing a remarkable similarity with battery operated beat boxes from the early eighties.
That's pretty much it, really.
Save your money, leave some coins in your pants and listen to your washing machine.

driving alone on a rainy night in a big city.......2006-01-20

While HongKong usually gets the most enthusiastic reviews, I prefer Polygon_Cities - it's just as atmospheric, but it's less ambient and has more propulsive beats. It's the sound of driving by yourself in the rain late at night in a big city.

I agree with the reviewer above who says that the album has a very cinematic feel to it; its dark dub/minimal techno sound could be the soundtrack to a gritty science fiction film like Alphaville or Blade Runner.

awesome.......2006-01-12

If you like monolake, or any electronic music, especially minimal techno, get this. This new one is my favorite Monolake album. The songs "Axis" and "Plumbicon" are the best on the CD, in my opinion.

Music Made for a movie that hasn't been made yet........2005-09-03

Monolake in his latest CD has a different twist. It still has all the bleeps, burps, and organic tones. However it has a kind of cineamatic theme to it. Some of the tracks could be used in a movie that hasn't been made yet. If you are a Monolake fan, I highly recommend this one.
