Ethik II - Individual/Traffic





Released on the cool Eat Raw label, home of some of my favourite electronica artists, in 1994. It says on the back 'This is not a compilation', although the tracklisting reads like one. Ethik II is more of a collective - a who's who of the German scene at the time, also featuring early work by Cristian Vogel. Chock full of the kind of trippy ambient beats that inhabited a space balanced perfectly between the techno dancefloors of the time, and the pioneering german legends of Cluster, Conny Plank, Klaus Schulze etc. The artwork and track titles nicely mirror the classic Kraftwerk meditation on the autobahn.
