``A record released by Torsten Geis and Torsten Ohrnberger, two strangers who at the time, we speak of the mid-90s, traveled with the name of Lunar Module and other less significant pseudonyms and presented themselves with a vinyl trilogy entitled \"Mental Acid Trilogy\" followed by this double cd titled with their battle name, then disappeared into thin air.
Lunar Module is a disc that lets you listen with total rapture, something that when it comes to the end will be only a sudden return to reality.
The songs make use of a fat and rhythmic rhythmic construct typical of electro with environmental pads to give a captivating and in some ways anguished melodic status, perfect translation in minimal terms of the trance harmonies in those years prevailing in German territory.
The 303 remains their trademark also on this record, used with a mastery and an eclecticism that sees few equals. All the acidic lines seem to belong totally to the songs, without ever prevailing in a decisive way as perhaps happened in their vinyl songs if not in a couple of harder songs such as \"24 Db Sunrise\" and \"Convolution\", two techno-electro feature films by epic scope. Here it is harmony that closes a circle around beautiful and eternal electronic music.
Lunar module describes futuristic worlds and unknown planets in the best electro tradition with precise linguistic codes, listening to a song like \"Ovulation\" you can see anticipated years of ranks of excellent electro producers who today continue with all their strength to carry on this sound.
There is a whole analogical feeling that beats violently in the minds of these producers who work following methodologies if you want \"ancient\" but who leave their mark in the years to come. It is no coincidence that by dusting off these old memorabilia after many, many years, we can testify to a sound perfectly fitting in the current patterns, indeed, still unattainable by most of today's digital music.
The latest signals from the planet Lunar Module belong to this timeless album written in 1995, a record that is a crime not to listen to at least once in a lifetime.``
