the two longest tracks, »shift« (13:15) and »wellen« (14:49), hilight the main points of the new produkt cd «stretch» equally. While »shift« picks up the thread of the slow motion techno tracks of the previous CD »float«, the peaceful and almost melodic track »wellen« as well as »stretch«, the electrifying and totally hypnotic title track, take a new musical direction. produkt has always stood for hypnosis, but this time everything is much more composed and concentrated than its predecessor. this impression will be intensified through the short sound structures which connect the tracks and remind us that rastermusic consists of two labels. the second label is noton, which is famous for totally unorthodox, avant-garde sound creations. the label is named after the founder noto, who is causing a sensation in international avant-sound-circles and in »shift« he also complets the members of produkt.
