After a hiatus of some eight years, Ruud Heij and Tom Coppens have decided to revive the Kubusschnitt project once again. For “Entropy’s Evolution”, the project’s fourth musical journey, they have invited synthesist Gert Emmens and guitarist Jan Dieterich to join them.

Kubusschnitt has always been known for its inventive, progressive and dynamic approach to electronic music, and this finely crafted album is no exception. The four extended compositions, presented on a factory-pressed cd, offer an engaging blend of captivating sequencer patterns, expressive lead melodies and warm synthesizer pads, complemented by infectious up-tempo rhythms and occasional bursts of powerful electric guitar.

These progressive, Berlin School-inspired sessions strike a fascinating balance between carefully structured arrangements and spontaneous improvisation. Along the way, distinct echoes of Gert Emmens’ trilogy “The Nearest Far Away Place” emerge, adding further depth and familiarity to the album’s sonic landscape.

Particular praise goes to the outstanding synthesizer solos, which bring both emotional depth and a poignant touch to the compositions. They provide some of the album’s most memorable moments and further enhance its rich, immersive atmosphere.

A welcome return for Kubusschnitt, proving that the creative spark is still very much alive. Well done, guys, and thanks for keeping the flame burning!
