Something Always Goes Wrong

"After releasing the masterpiece collection Early Works For Me If It Works For You, Dntel digs again back into his vault of unreleased backlog to give another collection, this time a concept mini-album telling us a story about a 'hero and his arduous quest'. The tracks have the patented Dntel romanticism of melodic themes and a supersaturated drum machine sense -- occasionally moving into the zone of 'war drums'. These are classic tracks originally scheduled for release on a Japanese dance label long ago, and since rediscovered by a few L.A. techno diehards who can spot classic work even if it doesn't have a fancy label name written on it. The album includes extra Dntel tracks, plus remixes by Seq and L.A. artist Languis."
