The Exaltics – The Rising Sun

Electro don Robert Heise turns his attention back to The Exaltics project for a new EP on his steady label home Repetitive Rhythm Research. Forgetting the proverbial «house» that birthed the song, Heise borrows the canonic title and lends it a certain force majeure, in the vein of bristly «helicopter blade» synths and classic techno drum machine furrow. Best on this fearsome crock is ‘Parallel Reality’, whose impressively miscible cuckoo-clock offbeats and sneak-up, reverse-worked, burring lead line have yet to meet their match this year. ORX’s opening edit is the most expulsive, firing off a grunting artillery of monstrously low synths and brusque cymbal crashes in enfilade.
