This co-operation between Telepherique and Roger Rotor is dedicated to the theme of ‘mobility’. Man as creator and victim of the urge to transport itself at the same time. The artwork of this digipack cd is beautifully crafted in a nice red cardboard cover with graphics of a moving train in the mountains and thematically fitting tales and descriptions as well as photo’s in the booklet. The train as a metaphor for mobility, and with that as a metaphor for industrialisation and progress too. Nowadays the world has become a ‘global village’, where physical distances between people have gotten a totally different meaning. This has also influenced musicians and thus the participants in this project. Both working at this cd from their own physical location and yet being in contact with eachother, by means of possibilites offered by modernization. The tight minimal rhythms and 4/4 beats of Roger Rotor reflect the theme of movement very well in auditive respect. The picture has been made complete by means of various indsutrial electronic sounds which remind us of the grotesque projects man has started to conquer nature in order to be able to move itself and with that widen their horizon. This is a nice and refreshing album.
