With a spell-check debilitating title, 'War Againstt Error' is the latest missive from the far-too-talented-for-his-own-good Christof Steinmann. As well as recording under the Softland moniker, Steinmann is a well worn fixture on the Zurich arts scene and studies audiovisual arts in Amsterdam, placing him in the perfect position to produce unlistenable avantronica. Thankfully he declines. Based around six extended "experimental vocal pop songs" (bolstered considerably on the CD by a shed load of field recordings), 'War Againstt Error' plays not unlike an electroacoustic meets minimal lo-fi soundtrack LP... Opening with the glitch-folk of 'Please Confirm The World', Steinmann strikes an intriguing pose that sees him landing somewhere between Roman, Boy In Static and label mate HP Stonji, with infectiously successful results. Elsewhere, 'All The Nows We've Had' goes for that epic "everything churning" sound, and comes of an awe-struck treat, 'Huch' sounds not unlike a male version of Michaela Melian seasoned by 'Kid A', whilst 'Mlle.' manages to combine Cornelius, Mike Patton and Ol' Dirty Gainsberg to moreish effect. Closing with 'Envers' (an Isopropanol laced 6 minutes of sweeping electronica and half heard solipsism), 'War Againstt Error' consummately proves why the Spezialmaterial collective demand such widespread and thoroughly deserved praise.
