interesting and quality mix and compilation by Henrik Schwarz (and friend), a producer bringing African forms and ideas to minimal techno, with often highly successful results (check his sublime remix at the end of NGOMA3, which i completely thought was South African before looking it up), and a dj of unusual scope and ambition. the clever idea of the Grandfather Paradox has not much to do with the content (a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his own grandfather couldn't logically do so, because without the grandfather there is no time traveler), but this mix draws lines between disparate nodes and forms unlikely connections: from academic avant garde to modern jazz, from post punk to maverick outsider music, and is a pleasure through out.

a bit rude posting brand new records no?

zhao said...

perhaps. not many commercially available things on the blog, but more work went into fusion 1 than this mix.
