Aleph-1 2xLP
If Xerrox Vol. 2 was not enough Alva Noto to keep your panties moistened all year long, you should be pleased to know that he has some new vinyl out for the tail end of 2009, although the recordings are from way back in 2007. This time under the handle of Aleph-1, Carsten Nicolai has constructed an album’s worth of super minimal and deceivingly melodic techno. Truly sublime and hypnotic material that comes with the most enthusiastic recommendation possible and nothing less than we would expect from this master of tone and texture. The limited gatefold 2xLP can currently be purchased at boomkat.com or forcedexposure.com.

I’ve got the original iDeal recordings pressing, and it sounds great.
