Good New Techno

The techno purists may disagree, but the new Factory Floor album, 25 25, is a minimal, yet utterly phat (as I believe the youth of a decade ago might have said) gem.

I thought that the first one from 2013 (is it really already 3 years ago?) had its moments with some driving minimal dancefloor tracks. I got it via Rough Trade with a bonus CD of extra tracks which I found more enjoyable as they were more experimental, a bit like their earlier material.

I'll have to have a listen to the new one.
 
Yep, '25 25' is a great album, it's tighter and more compelling than their first one. It's not mastered with as much bloody gain, either. (not sure I knew until reviews of this latest album that it was Steve Morris who produced the first one).

Edit: Just stuck at on for some midnight listening, neighbours never seem to complain...:cool:

Yes their first album is mastered LOUD, with the meters slamming up against the red line on my CD recorder. I don't think it was produced by Stephen Morris though. They did start recording an album with Stephen Morris a good few years ago and it was due to come out on Blast First but for some reason it got abandoned and shortly afterwards DFA signed them. At least, that's what I recall.

If you can find a copy, (good luck) 'Talking On Cliffs' is also pretty damn good. More in the post-punk/minimal mode than their DFA material.
