If I want to explain to my grandchild what it was like back in the day of lockdowns and Kalle Lauterbach while sitting in my old rocking chair, the previous record by Berrocal, Fenech, Epplay has a good chance of me glorifying it as the definitive album of the early 2020s. But »Transcodex« is a sensation as well. Alan Vega’s ramblings meet my favourite instrument in the world, the Berrocal trumpet, along with electronic minimalism that seems to stagger even when programmed to 2 and 4, and beat poetry that is in no way after applause: you simply can’t do it better than these three.
