PLASTIC DANCE: VOLUME ONE
2015-09-14Stefan Betke, aka Pole, was responsible for a series of distinguished dub techno records during towards the latter end of the 1990s, but in recent years his release rate has slowed to a crawl. His last album was 2007’s Steingarten, while his only major releases since then have been a trilogy of 12”s (the Waldgeschicten series in 2011) and a one-off collaboration with Roll The Dice in 2012. Wald, Betke’s first studio album in eight years, carries with it a weight of expectation. Billed as a single, 50-minute piece of music split into three acts, Wald is inspired by Betke’s walks through the Isar Valley and the forests of the Alps.
