Markus Mehr ~ Pressure
It’s been five years since we’ve seen an album in a concrete box, the last being MYMK’s The Memory Fog. But while that one had to be broken to access the tape within, this one can be opened to find the

Woah, what happened here? After the two long, ambient, loop-based tracks of In (the first part of a triptych, reviewed here earlier this year), we expected more of the same. But with On, Germany’s Markus Mehr is really on ~ in fact, this is the best thing
