Hecq 0000 review

Hecq (AKA Ben Lukas Boysen) is a young german sound designer who works for a lot of advertising project including TV channels and various companies / brands. This background is audible all over is discography. Hecq is mostly considered as a IDM music artist, even if I personally don't think he could be categorized within a specific genre. I really enjoy 0000 since it was released, back in  2007. This album consist in 2 disks, the first one being original compositions and the second, remix works in collaboration with other artists including  Newt or Snog. I'm kinda jealous of Hecq talent regarding the creation of lush sounding landscapes who evolve and morph perfectly trough almost any song he produce. I like the way weird sounds are able to blend with each other and create a coherent and melodic package. Also, sampling his overused but in a manner that doesn't hurt my ears as everything layers perfectly. The second disk is awesome with some gems that unfortunately never reach the status it deserves... 

9/10
