            YOSHINORI SUNAHARA | LOVEBEAT
            CD, Bungalow / EFA

     One wonders how many albums like these momentarily appear in the
    slipstream of techno. Albums that are extremely well produced, every
    sound possessing a certain correctness yet without that mysterious spark
    that leads to true greatness. On Lovebeat Sunahara presents a rather
    pleasurable downtempo form of techno, interlaced with neat spiraling
    sound effects, light touches of echo (as on the exemplary Balance) and a
    host of computer-generated voices. Again one images minimalist
    apartments, the enlightened worker enjoying the fulfillment of
    work-as-play while her thoughts occasionally drift through the music.
    The artwork consisting of weird diagrams and puzzling slogans suggest a
    depth the music never mirrors. Ultimately Lovebeat suffers from a
    quality that keeps recurring in a lot of recent releases: it's just too
    polite. The New Politeness seems to be upon us.
