AMX 40 – The name stands for a man and his acoustic vision of mankind’s story. ‚APE‘ is the title of his concept-album, a musical meditation on human evolution. Recombining the genes of old 70’s electronic-avantgarde, ancient – industrial and modern trance – sounds in a brilliant way AMX 40 creates a soundtrack of our past in his studio testtube. Starting this epic with ‚Chaos‘, a track dealing with the problems of our primate predecessors, followed by ‚Meat‘ and especially ‚Night‘ (with 28 minutes of a nearly endless suite on the threats of darkness), ‚Walk‘, the upright step into mankind’s dawn, ending with ‚Fire‘ and ‚Population‘, ‚Ape‘ produces an almost 3-dimensional experience. Its brilliant structures and samples makes the record a forward-looking piece of brain cinema at its very best, a monumental epic of a screen that everybody can roll out for their personal home movie.
