From the recently released ‘There Is No Creator’, this tune comes backed with two versions of the title track which, while both very good, aren’t on this one’s level. More recently it’s been Barac’s set which have been standard bearers for the Romanian minimal sound, and he’s taken it in a very singular direction. Creating world’s where lucid dreaming is a vibrant facet of the dance floor. The tracks are percussive, druggy, self-propelling and once in the mix, trippy and elastic. Often characterised by layers of spoken word vocal samples, they are at their best, when they drive with purpose. A lot of what used to pass for minimal was guilty of having no low end and being self-indulgent. Not so this stuff. In the hands of a master craftsman/woman, these compositions are the building blocks of new worlds. Listen to almost any of Barac’s online sets if you need convincing.
