"Seeds" is the second Nullgrad album, and quite a step onward for them. Possibly the label's boldest foray into techno territory yet, it charts new territories of deep, heartfelt electronic music, always on the verge of club-compatibility and superb home listening. Whereas the Nullgrad debut "The Shepherd's Satellite" featured upfront rhythms and strong Industrial flavours, the follow-up is quite another cup of tea with the only obvious link being the trademark space atmospheres featured throughout the album. The leitmotifs of "Seeds" are Buddhist monks' chants and the sounds of weather - not samples, but actual field recordings taken by Matthias on his extensive travels of Southeast Asia, giving the album an attractive uniqueness. "Seeds" works perfectly as a listening entity, nevertheless each track stands strong on its own as well; moreover, each track leaves you the choice - home listening or DJ use? - and isn't that just the very best you can say about a techno album?
