‘Musical journey’ accumulator or not, ‘Dualizm’ is set up to gather momentum – by track four, ‘Stykkarit Laukee Taas’ Memory’ is still testing electronically chilled frequencies with negligible impetus. Retaining guests Tiga, Nick Triani and Jerry Valuri from ‘Different’, as well as Ultra Vox’s John Foxx appearing for the aptly-titled strangle of ‘Dislocated’, Hulkonnen opens up onto the dancefloor around the jazz-tech reversion ‘The Baxter Sequence’, shooting ‘Lo-Fiction’, ‘Fermi Paradox’ and ‘Dying in Beauty’ through with 80s new wave savvy, and cannily bridging the gap between past and future.
