Thee Koukouvaya / Ancient Race of Techno Voyagers [vinyl]

Description

Ancient Race of Techno-Voyagers is the second full-length album from collaborators John O’Hara and Brian Wenckebach.

The nine electronic experiments on Ancient Race of Techno-Voyagers build on the sound established on that first LP, crafting expansive, cinematic narratives out of dense layers of synthesizer melodies and complex electronic percussion, this time around producing even darker, more esoteric results.

Though on the whole moodier in tone than the previous album, This is the Mythology of Modern Death (Saint Marie Records), Ancient Race of Techno-Voyagers still expresses a range of emotions, like the anxious jitter of “Limbic Crisis for Sparkle and Foam” and the cathartic longing of “Margaritas by the Pool,” which includes a vocoder performance by Ulrich Schnauss, one of electronic music’s most forward-thinking artists.
