Olaf Bender (Byetone) and Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto) operate at the cutting edge of digital funk with their fifth and final Diamond Version EP. Those familiar with the series will know what to expect and won't be disappointed. Four architecturally sound constructions prod techno in the ass with sharp mechanical fingers from the jolting industrial electro-funk of 'The Future Of Memory' to the hardstepping, hyper-angular syncopation of 'Operate At Your Optimum' and a swaggering payload of tetchy bass and precise, swerving edits in 'Sense and Simplicity' or the decidedly Mika Vainio-like slow/fast lurch of 'Make.Believe'.A1 The Future Of Memory 05:06 A2 Operate At Your Optimum 04:00 B1 Sense And Simplicity 03:45 B2 Make.Believe 07:06
