While his previous release “Spirits of the Dust” left me rather confused, Yarek’s album “Last Train to Berlin” heads back to Berliner School inspired contemporary electronic music with a good portion of ambient thrown in. To a certain degree, back are the lush, spatial but slow-paced sequencers and tasty retro hints, melted with a range of modern pads, environmental sounds and occasional (vocoder) voice. Don’t expect that much melody though, as it’s more cosmic atmosphere that’s making up the 48-minute continuous outcome, presented in 11 short tracks and one longer take. “Orbital”, “Music Play”, “Hokato” and “Banco” are the spots where the rhythm and sequence briefly shift into a higher gear and slightly dance/trance mode, but afterwards the tempo slows down once more. The 8-minute rhythmic-spiced title track puts an end to the album, again in a non-melodic fashion. All in all, Jaroslaw Degorski’s “Last Train to Berlin” is sonically less exciting than I anticipated at first, but it still carries a certain cool vibe under its wings I can’t put my finger on. |
