It's also a record very much of the moment: Vogel has one eye on the icy teutonic electronica of DJ Hell and Parallax Corporation, and another on Luke Vibert's and Funkstorung's recent revitalisations of the acid house template (the sounds rather than the rhythms). Fortunately for us he keeps his third eye firmly focused on just making excellent music -- the highlight being "On the Line", which builds from a wash of impressionistic bleeps into the driving, funk-tinged techno that he does so brilliantly -- so "Station 55" is never just retro and never, ever descends into mere pastiche.
That's not to say he's incapable of the odd kitschy moment, and there are times when "Station 55" recalls the high-camp gothicism of Laibach or the postmodern cut-n-paste 'poetry' of early Underworld.
The key word here is synthesis, though. Whether he's banging out the gabba-meets-Led-Zeppelin sci-fi of "1968.Holes" or sneaking an acoustic guitar into the last trickles of "Lovelights", this always sounds like a proper album, not just a grab-bag of 12" experiments -- the way Orbital's brown album or Underworld's "Second Toughest in the Infants" sounded like proper albums. Although it sounds nothing like those two records, it does sound like a stone-cold classic electronica/dance album. Like I said, I always liked Vogel, but I never expected him to transcend genres the way he has here. Everyone should hear him on this form.

Album Description
The debut album from Cristian Vogel's (Super_Collider) newly formed quartet, Night of the Brain, is a strange yet familiar collection of ten songs written and recorded in Barcelona. The sound combines electric guitar, drums and bass with computer music techniques and simple song structures. The lyrics and feelings in these songs at times resemble the nothingness of dream fragments, the forewarnings within old pulp-fiction, the temporal discomposure of the modern hangover. At other times, its just a good listen, an album that shows all the promise of new sounds and new bands that are taking shape now as electronic musicians who have out-grown the banal and stagnant techno scene. The other band members include Merche Blasco (aka Burbuja), performing electronics and adding her delicate and peculiar vocal touch to Cristian's unsettling lead voice. Little Mike "Fuzz" Hermann on bass, is a veteran of the '80s Berlin hardcore scene, having played in bands such as Dbass5. He is also into making underground techno records under the name Intercooler. The excellent drum-playing on this record is performed by Cristobal Massis, a young Chilean jazz drummer studying at the School of Superior Music in Barcelona.Album Review:
