Rector Scanner - Vocoder

I would like to describe Rector Scanner as an artist that tries to build electronically landscapes and atmospheres just like Kraftwerk did, although this time it is shown in many different genres, everything from Kraftwerk retro and classical EBM to more techno inspired electronics.

Throughout the album you can feel the monotony which Kraftwerk proudly created, but in this record it is more hidden or has been remade with more modern electronically creations. The more monotone tracks are called "World Wide Web", "Vocoder" and "Euphoria", while "Ozean", "Fiber" and "Kunstwelt" are more modern.

"agro" (as the person behind Rector Scanner calls himself) have been successful most of the time in his attempt to create his landscapes and atmospheres, and he sure did manage to surprise me. Fun and elegant.
