With his fourth studio album Impassive Skies, legendary Viennese producer Patrick Pulsinger draws the attention to the dancefloor. After his highly-acclaimed adventure into jazz with Easy To Assemble -- Hard To Take Apart and the classic Dogmatic Sequences Series (DB 142CD), comes an album that extends the unique combination of electronics and recorded instruments even further: synthesizers and hand-played drumboxes, not sequenced by the computer, carefully fitted into the musical performances. All the beautiful irregularities of the human groove with its switches and bleeps of the analog bubble-bath melt into a soundscape that reflects both the history of dance music and today's production techniques. All eight tracks on the album show great diversity in style and musical approach. The analog recording and mixing process and the wide dynamic range give the material a continuity that makes Impassive Skies such an intense and visionary listening experience. Several guest musicians and vocalists played an important part in the development of the album. Their involvement in the early stages of the compositions allowed Pulsinger to give room to their performances in the arrangement and shape the electronic sound around the instruments. Opening track "Grey Gardens" revolves around trumpet and improvisation genius Franz Hautzinger, whose narrative performance inspired its samba-esque feel, playful drum sequencing and Detroit-style synthesizer chords. In "Future Back" and title track "Impassive Skies" the outstanding soundscape of guitar experimentalist Christian Fennesz set a perfect background for Rhodes, grand piano and organ played by young jazz talent Martin Knorz, as well as modular synthesized drum patterns and Polaroid sampling by the legendary Sebastian Niessen of SND. There is a certain cosmic feel in the 2 tracks that feature the human clockwork Elektro Guzzi as rhythm combo. "Thong" is filled with tom-tom breaks and deep, driving bass. "Blame It" features the voice of Abe Duque with straightforward, dubbed-out disco catching a glimpse of vibraphone and vocoder. Other guest vocalists who bring elements of pop, new wave and punk to the album include G.Rizo and Teresa Rotschopf.

This is a definitive collection of all Dogmatic Sequences releases by Viennese producer legend Patrick Pulsinger. Patrick Pulsinger was born in the Communist GDR, but went into exile in Austria in his early childhood. In 1992, he moved to New York to escape the Austrian military draft where he recorded his debut. After returning to Austria in 1993, he founded the legendary record label, Cheap. Twelve years after the release of the Dogmatic Sequences Volume I EP and its trailblazing follow-up, Pulsinger completed his series with 2006's Dogmatic Sequences Volume III for Disko B. Dogmatic Sequences -- The Series 1994-2006 carries on the true thought of modernism and future music: timeless abstraction of 4-to-the floor compared with slow-motion high-tek-jazz. Patrick Pulsinger is also known as a forward-thinking producer for labels like Disko B, Mowax, K7, Gigolo and others, as global-player DJ, perfectionist, studio wizard (recently recording with Mark Stewart, Patrick Wolf and Chicks On Speed) and remixer for the likes of The Pet Shop Boys and DJ Hell. Pulsinger easily references early '90s techno and acid with a futuristic jazz approach. This is a dynamic collection, and it comes with an exclusive, spacey, ass-kicking "Flashback Intro." For everyone out there who never had a chance to buy them as colored, sparkled or clear vinyl -- for those who never cared much about turntables -- for fans, for groupies, for techno-lovers and all club-animals from yesterday to tomorrow -- this is the ultimate Dogmatic Sequences collection, a treasury of fine techno music on one CD.
