driving alone on a rainy night in a big city, Jan 19 2006
By Unutterable - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polygon Cities (Audio CD)
While HongKong usually gets the most enthusiastic reviews, I prefer Polygon_Cities - it's just as atmospheric, but it's less ambient and has more propulsive beats. It's the sound of driving by yourself in the rain late at night in a big city.I agree with the reviewer above who says that the album has a very cinematic feel to it; its dark dub/minimal techno sound could be the soundtrack to a gritty science fiction film like Alphaville or Blade Runner.

awesome, Jan 11 2006
By Bobby Joe "Joe" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polygon Cities (Audio CD)
If you like monolake, or any electronic music, especially minimal techno, get this. This new one is my favorite Monolake album. The songs "Axis" and "Plumbicon" are the best on the CD, in my opinion.

Musique Concrète for a new century, July 5 2009
By Emlyn Addison - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polygon Cities (Audio CD)
Having grown tired of the mainstream electronica-as-lifestyle "designer music" makers, I've started seeking out lesser-known and more obscure indie artists.I don't know much about Monolake (in fact, I don't like to; it's the music that interests me) but Polygon Cities is really a masterstroke of creative & musical ingenuity. If I had to describe it, the music falls somewhere between early Autechre and Aphex Twin, but with a more refined sensibility and a knack for using found sounds and other audio material from our modern electron-rooted existences.
A track that has me hypnotized is "Invisible", using an eerily matter-of-fact, pre-programmed telephonic TTS voice in combination with other miscellaneous glitch-based sonic goodies. ("Process died." Music for programmers?)
I recommend Polygon Cities as a starting place to the singularly electrified voice of Monolake.
Listmania!
