The debut solo album by Henrik Raabe, guitarist of the German trio Wareika, who rose to prominence in the 2000s with their minimal deep house sound. Departing from the cool, jazzy deep house he was known for, Raabe delivers a uniquely crafted downtempo album that feels like a seamless blend of jazz, Afro, dub, new age, and postmodern influences. It evokes the spirit of an imagined encounter between the Durutti Column and Dennis Bovell, with Virginia Astley joining in -- reminiscent of the UK sound of the 1980s -- yet rendered more minimal and refined, in a distinctly German way. With each listen, the album draws you deeper in. It is poised to become a defining release for Mule Musiq. Show more
