Dopplereffekt 'Cellular Automata' (Leisure System)
Detroit musician Gerald Donald has worked under a number of different aliases and on different projects over the years –and as half of Drexciya, is something of a god to techno nerds. Solo and with To-Nhan Le Thi, he’s been making dark and science-themed sounds as Dopplereffekt for two decades. As ever, the sounds are bleak and geometric, like the soundtrack to some 80s documentary about the dangers of radiation, rendered intense and huge in scope. This time there are no drums, just chattering synths, which can make it drag over the course of the LP – but each track is unmistakeable Dopplereffekt magic, whether on your headphones or a vast system. Joe Muggs
