Simple + Complex = Sutekh

"At first listen you get the feeling it's experimental electronic music...very atmospheric and ambient, but you're soon introduced to driving techno 4.4 beats and ticks that suggest there is more than meets the ear. There is! If you like detail, Sutekh goes out of his way to pay attention to the smallest parts and portions of his tracks almost to an ideal sense that each sound has it's own life. While some tracks may hint towards a Detroit influence, there is no shortage of inventiveness and creativity...even dementia at times. A very satisfying listen which (to me) defies any textual categorization outside of electronic. Unlike other electronic artists, which you can usually let lie in the background while you do something else, periods.makes.sense will oddly devour your attention and trouble your subconscious."
Beautifully controlled, period.

"sutekh is yet another member of the clicks_+_cuts faction coming from the mille plateaux label. this disc consists of 11 tracks which vary from minimal shudder-drones to almost upbeat clicks and grooves. it is this variety that provides such a rewarding listen, one of the strongest releases in this genre at the time of writing."
A cool trip from the clubs to the street to the stars

"Wow, a techno disc that pleases even the middle age folk-blues-rock devotee. This disc has something for everyone, it can be meditative, mysterious and monstrous at times. You can feel the soul of the artist, Sutekh, as he skillfully weaves a wonderful baseline into crisp and cutting rhythmic snapps! It's definitely a set that will grow on you, from low volumes to loud and vibrating...I find it takes you to the light of the third eye in no time. You'll find your own personal experience with Sutekh's sounds, and no matter what, you'll be happy with this CD. Yes."
