This one along with Non Standards is making it very clear that the MidiMiliz now stands for massive tweaked groovy techno leaving the ambient-minimal-tech sound (that is hinted several times on Passages) to the Extrawelt alias.

 

No Alibi is a massive track to say the least. Opens with a grinding FX-drone which pretty much is equivalent (with the right volume and speakers) to a gale force wind accompanied by a pounding double kick. It settles down for a moment somewhere in the middle to introduce a mystical melody loop, this together with the FX-drone certainly is a perfect combination.

 

Antibody is co-produced with Marcus (Der Interpret) and is an all out electro track, very minimal in all ways. It's not all too bad, but I find my interest in it subside before it ends. It's got a hi-tech feel with it's bleepy atmospheric melody layers introduced later on but the sound they use for the bassline sounds incredibly out of place.

 

We're once more delivered to the 4 by 4 path with OnePointOne which at first seems to be a bit more restrained. It's far from restrained but it does have a bit more of a polished feel to it than the No Alibi track. Contains a wobbly two note bassline with a nice build up process of rhythmic hi-hats which creates all in all a nice nighttime groovetrack. Also, very nice break in the middle where all percussive elements are removed except the kick and the bassline which continue on to accompany a brilliantly atmospheric melodylayer that fades in continuosly.
