Black To Comm

Hamburg’s Marc Richter has been busy since his last Type appearance (2009’s genre-bending and critically acclaimed Alphabet 1968). Aside from helming the prolific Dekorder imprint, he’s put out a number of musical curios, including 2012’s excellent film soundtrack Earth. Now Richter is back with Alphabet 1968’s proper followup, a sprawling double album pieced together with crumbling samples, vocal snippets and an arsenal of noise generators and filters, a patchwork of ideas and fragments that only improves over time.
