On this track, Allien utilizes a strange sort of toyish drum loop and slowly expands it into an unexpectedly melodic beat, her breathy vocals in the forefront. The most comprehensive example of this lies in the opening and best track, “Alles Sehen”. Though she makes vastly different music from the two, she’s comparable to Radiohead and Animal Collective in that she essentially takes the “alien” and the foreign and transforms it into something recognizable-sometimes, even danceable.
Ellen Allien, on Berlinette, displays her own alien brand of techno music, and it comes packaged with her own approximation of vocal Bjork-isms a deep, straight-faced, robotic yawn-sing-and yes, with a German accent-that is often cut up into its own percussive breaks.
It’s the familiar word “alien” said with a throaty German accent.
