Pitchfork

Babel Fish to the rescue! Heimsche Gefilde, the title of techno maestro and Pitchfork Festival grad Dominik Eulberg's new LP, translates to...Heim Gefilde?? Sheesh, thanks a lot Babel Fish.

Good thing we have this here press release, which says the title translates to "Native Habitat". So there you go. Herr Eulberg's new 22-track long-player hits shops April 2 via Traum and comes packed with ceaseless tight grooves that should work the pelvis and cerebral cortex in equal measure. Well, not quite ceaseless: Eulberg drops in every second or third track to say some pleasant-sounding things that we don't understand in German-- which explains how this is a 22-track techno LP.

Highlights include album closer "Stelldichein des Westerwälder Vogelchores" (um, "Stepchildren of Wandering Whippoorwills"?)-- a dance cut built from bird sounds, with Eulberg seemingly introducing the tracks Tubular Bells-style-- and "Die Alpenstrandläufer von Spiekeroog" ("The Mountain Ascent of Spiderman"...maybe). Keep your eyes peeled for a Gabriel Ananda remix of the former, while the latter will appear on a Eulberg 12" (backed with an exclusive B-side) due the same day as the full-length's release.

Not surprisingly, Dominik has some more 12" action on the way via Traum this year. Spin them at your trendy parties-- or catch the man himself as he jaunts about Europe in the coming months. And remember, Dominik Eulberg is not a man to be trifled with.
