Two decades after the release of 'Cosmos', Murcof is back with a new album of cinematic ambience and tweaked beatscapes that'll appeal to fans of Alva Noto, Biosphere or Monolake.
It's been too long since we heard from Murcof, but 'Twin Color, Vol. 1', the first volume in a collection made in collaboration with IRCAM, is worth the wait. He surveys his output in its entirety here, looking back to his early work with the Nortec Collective and fleshing out his widescreen atmospheres with references to post-punk and synthwave.
So while opener 'Going Home' is bleak at first, packed with doom-y drones that seem to echo his dystopian narrative, it doesn't take too long before the '80s sci-fi influences take hold. Even the tweaked minimal whirr of 'All These Worlds, Pt. II' is woken up by plasticky electro synths, and Murcof takes things even further on the cheeky 'Night Break', going full Vangelis-mode on the VHS-baked 'Tomorrow, Pt. II' and neon-dazzled 'Enemy'.
