Someone could spontaneously echo the title of this amazing album by Duesseldorf-based sonic shrudder Grischa Lichtenberger by means of Massive Attack's notorious lyrics "Inertia creeps/moving up slowly", particularly after listening to some sonic contraptions included in this amazing collection, but the idea behind it according to Grischa's own words derives from a fictional "successor of the baksan neutrino telescope in the caucasus region", so that he seems to impersonate an astrophycist in the act of intercepting and following the route of some unknown microscopic particle in the outer space. If we take sonic particles, which have already appeared on our planet, into consideration, the most immediate link of sonic science by this German juggler could be with pearls from weaponry by Autechre (there are many echoes of their legendary album "Amber"), Vitor Joaquim, Claro Intelecto, Logical Disorder or Funkstorung (particularly when he assembles grooves - "1110_01_lv_1b", "1210_08_4+", "91028_v1" are definitively my favorite ones - which could be even interpreted by choreutics, if you don't suffer from discopathies or osteoarthritis!) due to the spotty digital suppurations combined with effected percussive elements, overstretched and overcompressed sounds, fractured breaks and rhythimcal polymers, but the most funny aspect of Lichtenberger's oeuvre lies in the integration of concrete sounds such as white broadcasting and so-called ant wars on TV connected to broken aerials ("0811_09_re_0211_08"), haywiring teletypewriters ("0112_01_st_rm") within his limpid (a)rhythmical ganglions, as if he's injterested in exploring those interzones where the seemingly perfect order of material structures gets dovetailed to seemingly chaotic combinations within an harmonious and balanced antinomy. "And IV (Inertia)" offers many moments which are going to tickle eardrums and sneaking in listener's mind to stimulate imagination in spite of his solid connection with "reality".
