Aluminium was recorded during a marathon studio session in Vienna in April, and was brilliantly mastered by Tim Barnes. Both musicians play guitar and electronics, along with occasional percussion on a hi-hat placed between them. On the first track, Dafeldecker's sine wave electronics intersect with Roberts' rough guitar textures, priming the listener's aural palette for the marathon track which follows. This half hour long piece is a atmospheric exploration fusing the legacy of AMM with the spirit of rock and roll.

"Roberts and Dafeldecker avoid flamboyant gestures as emphatically as a trust fund anarchist dodges the neighborhood Starbucks. They prefer to gradually generate magnetic tension by parsimoniously deploying contrasting squeals, scrapes, whines, and bell-like tolls like small objects on a vast, hushed soundfield. The two men evoke a space where humans are heard but not seen, crafting visions of a humming metalworks with nary a human in sight."--Bill Meyer
