The fourth instalment of Kompakt's Earquake vinyl series documents a year in which Wolfgang Voigt's restless alias-cycling was operating at full velocity — Mint, M:I:5, Crocker, Love Inc. and Mike Ink all present across four sides, a reminder that these were, in most cases, a single mind pursuing wildly different lines of inquiry simultaneously and with absolute conviction. As Voigt himself framed it: a manifesto of the straight bass drum across time.
The range is characteristic. Love Inc.'s Trance Atlantic XS / Part 3 provides one of the compilation's most absorbing moments — elongated, hypnotic drift that pulls the listener into its own suspended logic — while Box Energy and Suburbia demonstrate the harder, more functional side of the Profan aesthetic. The record closes with the Live Evil triptych: Mike Ink at his most austere and repetitive, three cuts that strip the framework back to its irreducible minimum and hold it there with the patience of someone who has made peace with pure repetition as an end in itself. Essential archive material, presented with Kompakt's characteristic care.
