  • Description

    Limited to 333 copies Digipak CD. This bold new release by modular synth duo d'Voxx is their third on the DiN imprint, having previously released Telegraphe (DiN58) & 1984 (DiN75) to much critical acclaim. To give it its full title - HERZOG: A Retrospective by d'Voxx - sees Nino Auricchio and Paul Borg expanding their sonic horizons with musical interpretations of the five films legendary German film director Werner Herzog made between 1972 and 1987 with the mercurial actor Klaus Kinski. Needless to say, this gives the album a very cinematic feel, where the modular systems that are at the core of their sound are still very much present but often in supporting roles around which the genre-bending five tracks rise and fall. Their ambitious sound worlds incorporate elements of prog, techno, rock, field recordings, and even a sample of a 1911 opera on, where else but the track Impossible Monolith, which references the epic film Fitzcarraldo. The duo state that these tracks do not attempt to score the films but rather to inhabit their territories: the fevered conquistador descending into megalomania; Woyzeck ground to psychological dust by institutional cruelty; Fitzcarraldo's monumental folly; Nosferatu's ancient weariness; the slave trader's trajectory through exploitation and dissolution. This third outing from d'Voxx will delight and surprise their admirers in equal measure and once again proves that the DiN label never stands still but is constantly looking to push through the straitjacket of genre boundaries.
