Tabernacle Schallplatten & CDs

Review: "We are excited to finally announce and share 'Presentiment', the second Long Player from The Connection Machine. This release is particularly special for us as it will be the first time in over 20 years that Jeroen and Natasja have put an album out on vinyl. Despite having a string of aliased releases in the '90s on the mighty U-Trax, a 12" during the early days of Carl Craig's Planet E, a remarkable album 'Painless' on Down Low Music, and most recently a series of in demand E.P.s with Lost Trax on Tabernacle, their output has remained tantalisingly infrequent. With 12 tracks that capture their unique and awe-inspiring sound, 'Presentiment' opens you up to a world that only The Connection Machine have access to."

Review: After last years well received mini-LP, Lost Trax and The Connection Machine are back in cahoots for another round on the ever-blooming Tabernacle Records. There's something undeniably 'Artificial Intelligence' about the kind of techno crafted by this shadowy meeting of minds, full of colourful squelches and emotive pads. The Lost Trax sound is far more propulsive, with a clattering sound palette challenging adventurous DJs, whilst The Connection Machine scoops through the debris left behind to make some compelling downtempo cuts. For truly spellbinding techno with classic values and bright ideas, this EP one of the first places you should look.
