Robert Lippok: I met Mark Fell and Mat Steel of SND at the end of the Nineties after a To Rococo Rot concert in Manchester. They said that our album »Veicolo« and especially the track »Micromanaged« had a huge influence on them. We stayed in touch and over the years I became a fan of their music. Their release »Atavism« is an absolute masterpiece of post-rave minimalism. On »4,5,6« their style isn’t quite as well formulated – it’s already permanently euphoric and fast, but also still with a more raw sound. Creaky FM sounds, hyperventilating drum computers, kick drums that overtake themselves, counter-like breaks, acid house pads and always this great desire for ecstasy and euphoria.
SND – 4,5,6
