Two different generations of electronic music makers have collaborated to create the strangely titled Mi.T. - CON 04. Conrad has been in the electronic music business for other thirty years, having been part of the original Tangerine Dream line-up. Michael is one half of the TouchXtone duo, a partnership that has turned out worthy rhythmic and melodic ambient and electronic music. I found it difficult to tell who might be doing what on this work, especially as TouchXtone's music can be quirky at times but not to the extent of what's to be heard on this album. Eight tracks widely varying in length (from less than two minutes to over twenty three) take the listener on a peculiar musical journey. From the rippling bleepiness and unsettled synth pads on "01", to the fairground organ like sounds and distorted voices of "02"; these first two tracks led me to imagine some kind of bizarre carnival with slightly sinister undertones. We aren't given clues about what to expect next in "03" which has a curiously engaging shuffling rhythm, and assorted twinkles, that I can only describe as an electronic version of the Penguin Café Orchestra. Track "05" is a rather nice track of relative calmness. A plinky sound that echoes away melodically combines with simple synth melodies in an unhurried manner. The following track "06" is for me the best on the album where electronic waves shimmer to and fro across a soundscape inhabited by gentle boingy sounds and pensive refrains. The elements in this track are put together in such a way as to imbue a sense of rhythm even though it's not really rhythmic. Undoubtedly Mi.T. - CON 04 is one of the more unusual albums to have come my way recently. I found it quite difficult to get into, though in places it does have a quirky charm. It's the sort of work that I wouldn't have been surprised to see on the Fragment Music label. One for the adventurous listeners out there.
