I own one Anthony Rother record, but what a release. ‘Red Light District’ along with ‘Destroy Him My Robots’ are standards of the scene and put an image of Rother in my mind as someone who dabbles in the seedy and dystopian side of electro; a parallel matrix in which the machines have taken over with the consent of mankind. His tracks are full of hooks, often through significant and variable use of the vocoder, and they have great depth and drama as well. All of these elements coalesce best on ‘The Message’, but ‘We Are The Future’ and ‘Super Future Metropolis’ are able escorts, each combining momentum with melody and distinctive focal points using the vocoder and italo-inspired arpeggios. Lovely stuff.
