**Cassette only edition of 200** The beguiling man-not-machine band, Elektro Guzzi deliver almost unfeasibly linear, precisely metronomic grooves made entirely on live instrumentation. In case you’re not au fait, the trio of Bernhard Breuer, Bernhard Hammer, and Jakob Schneidewind have released three perception-defying albums on Berlin’s techno-focussed Macro label before this one, honing a style of motorik groove played entirely in real-time without a computer in sight. For this tape they contribute two lengthy, rolling compositions. ‘Circle One’ is 28 minutes of strident, swinging dub techno-like flux expertly mixed with filigree spatial awareness. ‘Circle Two’ is slower, grumbling techno with rolling, swooping bassline and a fuzzy, deserted blues atmosphere, and the ‘Acid Bonus’ kicks up fizzing noise and heads-down, Afro-rhythmelodic 4/4 groove with Martian Millsian vibes.
