Review - Morphology - Trioptimum (AFS_00.5)

There's little to interest the casual listener on Finnish duo Morphology's debut EP, but for anyone with an interest in Kraftwerk or vintage Detroit electro, this is an essential release. With acidic undercurrents throughout, the title track delivers ripples with mysterious sounds and an austere rhythm, 'Active Optics' is full of eerie bass tones, while 'Dark Days Are Gone' and 'Synthetic Bird' revolve around reflective synths and fragile, sublime melodies.
