Very few artists have influenced the sound of house and techno as much as Roman Flugel. Active since the early '90s under various aliases, Flugel is widely revered as a DJ, live performer, producer, remixer, intellectual, and record label owner. The record labels he helped found - Ongaku, Klang, and Playhouse - are pivotal imprints in the electronic music scene, and his ability to gracefully incorporate and master most styles of 4/4 has seen him create in genres ranging through techno, house, electro, ambient, IDM, downtempo, and acid house. Respected both as a solo artist and collaborator, this veteran of the scene now presents an incredible double vinyl release for Hypercolour. Monday Brain contains six tracks of highly polished techno/electronica covering a range of tempos and styles. Flugel demonstrates his ability to morph his sound with the times, and displays his breadth of sound-design magnificently over the release. Opener Teenage Engineering explores cosmic IDM sensibilities and builds in harmony and texture for a fine example of Flugel's melodic sound, while Make It Happen captures more psychedelic touches over a solid groove. Man Sees the Face, God Sees the Heart goes as deep as it's title suggests, as rhythmic sounds melodically ride over minimal beats and luscious bass in a stirring slice of modern electronica; Church of Dork wigs out like the very best Chicago house records, it's synthesizer motif worming around the jacked-up beats. Picnic for Players comes ready with blissful and melancholic riffs, dipped in warm reverb for a classic-sounding piece, before the work closes in fine style with the shadowy Vegetarian Leather Jackets. Flugel once again displays his effortless knack for creating timeless dance music.
