about

Recorded and mastered in the countryside, somewhere on earth. Firstly released at Legoego.

+++ REVIEWS +++

" Ich vermute mal, dass David & Antoine zwei Romantiker sind. Denn die ruhigen und melodiösen Tracks zwischen Electronica und sanften Downbeats verströmen eine gut-gelaunte Melancholie, spielen gerne ein wenig mit technischen Möglichkeiten, doch der eigentliche Track steht immer im Vordergrund.

Mit ihrer “Rockspeed EP” auf Lego haben sich die beiden Künstler wirklich mächtig ins Zeug gelegt. Mit ein wenig Piano-Kitsch und süßen aber nicht klebrigen Melodien wird hier konsequent kleinen sweeten Träumereien nachgegangen. So ein wenig, wie die Jungs von Lemon Jelly klingt das dann. Zum Beispiel in meinem Favorit-Track “Number 22″.

Die vier Tracks sind nach längeren Sessions entstanden, aus welchen die Künstler wohl die wesentlichen Bestandteile extrahiert haben, um sie formschön in sechs-minütige Musikförmchen zu gießen. Sehr gelungen, wie ich finde."

PHLOW.

"France? Ah I know, House! Isn't it? Cheese? No! This time two guys called Acre4 from Nantes brought electronic sounds that will catch us with a frisky manner by naive components. In a strange world between spring and winter, stop and go."

LGO.

Comment: this 4-track album comes out from Nantes, France where downtempo-inspired electronica and broken beats are tightly interlaced with art pop and indie tendencies and sampling technology (different spoken word parts and insect`s buzz are up there). Acre4 is a duo which pushed off in the year of 2000 being influenced by such legends as My Bloody Valentine, Kraftwerk, Tortoise, Boards Of Canada, Mùm, and Sonic Youth. Indeed, Antoine, and David used to take on uplifting melodies and somewhat glowering progressions which in the first place get hint at Kraftwerk, and Boards Of Canada. Furthermore, now and then it reminds of Art Of Noise due to witty orchestrations and flourishing synth wave fused outlets either. It might be that the ending track Ping Pong (though Ultragain is quite similar to it) makes some difference from the rest of the whole thanks to its heavily sliced and thudding propulsions and melodica-driven motives (indeed, quite close to the early Mùm)
