*Review* Techno Unit 30: Audiochrome "Techno Unit 30: Audiochrome" is a set of techno rhythmic atmospheres from Dr. Larry Kucharz. It would be easy to dismiss this as mere techno house fluff and move along. To do so would be to miss out on a truly monumental entry in modern ambience and to disrespect an overlooked art form. The emphasis is on - DUH! - the techno rhythm but there is more! The pulsating drum machine surrounds a dark and cloudy atmosphere that absolutely invites rhythm. This is a very different brand of minimalism. It is rhythmic minimalism! That is rhythmic to the nth power! Deep listeners will get past the hundreds of beats per minute and experience the dark atmosphere that Larry has hypercharged. This is deep stuff! It is difficult to tell whether Larry is thumbing his nose at this music world, embracing the style or acknowledging it as a valid art form. The latter is most likely.
