We are sure Max Cooper does not refer here to one of Traum boss Triple R's favourite writer ThomasPynchon but rather connects here to the technical terminus of the parabolic trajectory often mentioned as'rainbow-shaped'.Nevertheless we wish to express that the transgressive quality of Max music, does it question or break downthe boundaries and categories of Western culture and reason, is a challenge we have at Traum alwaysaimed at, with tracks that were very far away from the norm in the same way as Max's tracks are.The track Gravity's Rainbow highlights the more stripped and pop nurtured side of Max Cooper.Although light as first sight this track is as complex as all of his work... using antagonistic elements such asthe golden coloured spine tingling sounds that linger in this track... and a grand bassline melody that couldbe described as an award winning hymn. Despite all of this Gravity's Rainbow is a catchy tune made to fillthe dance floor with a kind of happiness that is kind of rare for Max.Heresy shouts out a triumph at times quite at others it marches along... full of joy into a world which hasnot been defined yet, maybe will never be. It changes dynamic through hard breaks... plunges fromdreamlike stages into dynamic ones going towards a wall of sound (a typical Max Cooper trademark) overkills are appreciated and captivate all of us when dancing along.When we think all has been said... beautiful sub-melodies that could stem from indie rock bands make theirway into the track... so this is a world full of phantasy.For all of you who want it more techno and less melodic, the Dosem remix of Heresy works with a fantasticgroove that one will enjoy after a night of full complex arrangement structures.Multifaceted French artist Matthys contributes here with his remix of "Heresy" a piece of soulful electronicawith a strong reflective side. His remix is strong on the musical side working nicely with dynamic shifts andmelodies.Maybe the most sophisticated track on the release is the unearthly Solace. Clad in wet towels beat wise,the melodies and manipulations of sequences are the motor oft his track. Solace without beat would be aperfect soundtrack for a fantastic French movie. Fairy like with enough airy ups and downs to whiten allcolours of the world... the track finally assembles and mutates towards some kind of matter which we are notsure what to call.
