This bumper record, the Ukrainian artist's fourth release for the Sheffield label and first since 2019 double-LP \u003cem\u003eObscurium\u003c\/em\u003e, serves to remind us all why Noumen's music has been lauded by the likes of Mixmag and Resident Advisor in the past. \u003cem\u003eAltum\u003c\/em\u003e is a consummate piece of contemporary electronic production, a technoid exploration of outer-edges electronica that nods to genre greats like Autechre while still maintaining its own unconventional charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross well over an hour of music here we find Noumen repeatedly playing punchy mid-tempo beat work off of some more cerebral tuned synths.Altumkicks off with the epic 'Oion' - beginning in that Autechre\/AFX mid-tempo zone, full of deep-sea bangs and whirrs, the track slowly builds to a final stretch of delay-drenched keys which set us free amidst the outer cosmos, almost Sun Ra-style. It's a perfect liminal-space roller and an apt scene-setter for\u003cem\u003e Altum\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoumen's third album for Central Processing Unit is a pleasingly hefty double-LP which builds on the zany invention of acts like Modeselektor and Autechre to delightful effect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Central Processing Unit","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":53532306309451,"sku":"R6835-9259","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cover.ki-9_64dc1365-993b-4e51-b80b-984419986ee3.jpg?v=1759583230","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/altum","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
