A1.		The Hour Of The Soul (Original)
A2.		The Hour Of The Soul (Arne Weinberg Remix)
B1.		Droids Of Desire
B2.		The Mannequins Romance

note: "Mysterious artists are always a good topic for discussions. Deixis is such a person prefering to stay unknown. Already introduced to the label rooster with his track for AW-010, the Viewpoints compilation, we are happy to have him on board with his first full 12” release. Running his own label Abstract Forms he stands for deepest dub infected Detroit techno. Some might say this is oldschool, and maybe they are right, but we don’t care.... it’s beautiful deep melodic techno as we love it! Featuring a remix by label owner Arne Weinberg." - mondo urbano.

1.10		Omega (Outro)

note: "Following on from 2006’s debut LP “Path of the Gods”, Arne Weinberg’s second album will take you on a musical passage from Alpha to Omega and demonstrate the diversion of Arne’s palette of sounds. Too many modern Techno Albums feature just a collection of tracks with no real story to tell, Arne’s second album aims to be more than just that and pushes further the boundaries of modern techno music.
From the dark and mystic feel of “Everlasting” to the floor shaking grooves of “Nightstalker” and “Eclectic Spiral” or the deep electro influenced ambience of “Synthetic Dissection” and “With trembling hands” this album has it all." - distributor.

Convextion - Romantic Interface [2007, vinyl, aw-recordings]

.flac

A1.		Translucent Blue Display
A2.		Laconic
B1.		Salmo
B2.		Consumer Identity

Producer - Gerard Hanson

note: "The excellent A-side begins with 'Translucent Blue Display', which tears through its six-minute duration in a rolling charge of manic rhythms and robotic squelches. Wrapped in luxuriously lush pads that veil a mechanical infrastructure, the cut somehow manages to simultaneously be both futuristic and retro. 'Laconic', meanwhile, picks up where Convextion’s brilliant guest spot on DeepChord’s 'Vantage Isle' LP left off. Constructed out of milky delay feedback, shifting bass weight and chords that build into a pulsing frenzy, this is blunted techno imbued with a bit of Basic Channel’s spirit, and the result is fantastic.

Unfortunately, the tracks on the flip are merely serviceable efforts that ape classic Detroit ('Salmo') and the ambient-tinged electro of early Aphex Twin ('Consumer Identity'). Marred by questionable baroque flourishes – perhaps intended to mask their mediocrity – neither track manages to achieve the effectiveness of the rest of the release."
