It may be true that German outfit Air Liquide has influenced the Cologne sound, but there’s not much shuffle fever or minimal click to their comeback album. Instead, these acid electro pioneers throw together a rather bizarre collection of dubby downtempo numbers, pumping mega-club techno and even confessional electro-meets-country & western jams. The only unifying elements here are bright, round-sounding bassines and crisp 808 high hats, but even those classics aren’t enough to save these veterans from an overwhelmingly trite record.
