Xylitol‘s first release for Planet Mu, Anemones, drew from atmospheric jungle as well as Krautrock and minimal wave, creating a wondrous form of breakbeat-driven electronic music that levitates as it crushes. Blumenfantasie is the follow-up album, and it’s no less impressive, strengthening the elements that made its predecessor stand out. Opener “Chromophoria” has just the right amount of atmosphere to momentarily make you feel like you’re falling through time, paired with bugged-out breaks that snap everything into focus. The title track slips Cluster-like puttering drum machines beneath shuffling drums and a flood of bass. “Melancholia” takes its time to let a sorrowful atmosphere unfold, then erupts with perfectly timed hard breaks.
