This is the new full-length album from techno veteran Christian Wunsch, a collection of nine tracks, slowly crafted that shows his own personal vision about techno. This is his first full-length album after a whole bunch of twelve inches spread out among the best techno labels around and his very own Tsunami imprint. More than twenty years in the business establish him as one of the stepping-stones in the pure techno scene. 'Internal Conversion' shows his approach to modern electronic music creation. Pristine sound design, clever drum, synth programming and evolving structures make this album a showcase of his capacities as a studio wizard. 'Internal Conversion' is the first cut: dense atmospheres, slow rhythms, drones, metallic hits ..the sound of a spacecraft about to start engines. 'Fluorescence' goes straight to the beat: compact grooves, alien FM sequences, resonant details, heavy stereo workouts.. a complete Martian techno. 'Auger Electrons' is based on a heavier rhythmic approach, thick FM sequences, rolling sub bass frequencies and brilliant hi hats and cymbals. A precision tool for working every intelligent dance floor. 'When The Process Is Expected' goes down to experimental territories, kickless, sweepy, dark and low. 'Ionized' turns again to floor energy, anabolic beats, tension and cycles, a hypnotic workout of modern electronic dance music, straight to the point. 'Radioactive Decay' breaks the drums, adds drones and sweeps, until resonated noises take over the arrangement, keeping it grey, opaque and futuristic. 'Nuclear Transition' acts as a short interlude made of atmospheric and percussive sequences. 'Graphene' slows down the BPM, building up a powerful drum architecture as in the previous cuts but this time uses analog sequences to create movement. The closing release, 'Fixed Fraction' uses different coordinates, compact beats, sharp percussions, sci-fi sounds and subwoofer tension A voyage into sound, created with a few well balanced elements, telling a story in nine chapters.
