Tadeo - Contacto FLAC

May very well be one of the most overlooked albums in recent memory. Tadeo is not well known, not hyped, and not mentioned among the relevant techno artists today. So it was bound to happen that an album so strong would go by totally unnoticed. Reflection Nebula 056N (on Berghain 02) first brought Tadeo to my attention, and I had a hunch that there were going to be more killer tracks on his debut full-length. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Science fiction, futuristic, "space" techno with just enough of a beat to keep your head nodding.

Something in the sky - and ain't Jeff this time. With "Contacto", Tadeo offers us his take on eerie sci-fi Minimal Techno."Contacto" celebrates and concentrates on the clash of the paradox elements in its tracks. Like molecules, they collide, bond and dissolve. Chaos and order alternate. Simple elements engage in everchanging, complex interaction with each other. But Tadeo's sense for dramaturgy goes beyond the single tracks. This is an album, and every track is in it's right place from start to finish. In this discipline, he clearly excels his most obvious inspirer.Tadeo's arrangement skills are asteroid-solid throughout. Most tracks are heavily reduced, stripped and condensed, but nevertheless absolutely relentless floorshakers - clinically clear and crisp in production, but still lively and organic in their musical structure.Poetry.Science. Sweat on the dancefloor."Contacto" is truly stellar.Keep watching the skies, Jeff ... Tadeo's coming!

Well said pal. I'm a huge Jeff Mills fan, and I stumbled across Tadeo's Nammu EP and was like WHAAAAT???Quickly ate that up along with "Futurism" and "Anu-An". Checking out "Contacto" now, and your review is spot on.I don't think JM needs to be concerned, after all, he paved the way. This is just another fish in the pond, but that's not a bad thing at all.

For me this album is a milestone. Simple as that. The tracks feel like a soundtrack to outerspace travel an make for a perfect listening experience as an album. Also there is so much food for the dancefloor here, that it is for sure a crime to sleep on this one.
