Braincell "Mind Over Matter" Harthouse Mannheim 10

So I'm a little late on this LP, I only discovered it while listening to the most recent on Harthouse earlier this week. There are still copies available though so it's all good. If it's not missed I'm still a happy camper.

For those of you who remember Cari's older Braincell stuff you'll know it's been about a decade since he's used the moniker and it's only retained a little bit of it's original sound. I seem to recall the first two LP's he did with the name as being a little more....Trancey. Progressive maybe?? Not how either one of them are described these days of course, but it did have that middle ground feel to it. This newest LP on the other hand barely has any of those (now) trappings. It's taken on a 'Fred to the Midwest' meets late 90's Minimal Techno vibe. I wholly approve. It's been a long time since I heard stuff coming out akin to this. The recent Cristian Vogel LP on Tresor is in the same spirit, but with updated production techniques. I put the two in the same boat though. Old meets new, done right.
