专辑简介

Time passes in moments – and Candy dedicates his 3rd album to the lapse of time, significantly boosting the harder aspects of the 16PAD NOISE TERRORIST sound, oscillating between harder drum’n’bass, drumstep and hard-hitting crossbreed style. Again mastered by DJ Hidden, featuring a remix for veteran performer Cristian Vogel and a collaboration track with Lynn aka Enduser, "Zeit" features the input of prolific guests. Presented in a remarkable 3D-print cover designed by Nicola Bork it musically stands out as cutting-edge modern, suited for inducing twitches in the dance floor crowd as well as splitting the listener’s brains proper in due time. The limited first edition includes a 3-D glass with hands-stamped 16pad logo. After the first two 16PNT albums dealt with the subject matter of utopia/dystopia, "Zeit" is inspired by the occupation with transience. Coherently, the sound appears more direct, grounded, and very much in the here and now. Starting with the drumstep beats of "Fright Night Overdrive", then launching into the slasher intro of "Angst", before the beats kick in hard and the stabs force physical motion. Only the slo-motion wobble of the 16PAD remix for Cristian Vogel’s "Deepwater" grants some relief, before "Boomchuck" and "Delynch" bang it up with thumping hardcore beats. From there, the album forges into more experimental territory, with metallic sounds and rhythmic overdrive ("Musik") coupled with canyon-deep breaks and extended speech samples ("Zeit", "I am a machine"), sick build-ups ("Moment") – and the closing title "Endwerk", featuring the trademark high pitches and anarchic structure of Enduser, along with an almost cinematic, melodic backdrop. It may be man’s destiny to perish, but every now and then it’s the pleasant surprises, the special moments that make it all worthwhile. With "Zeit", Candy has created an authentic tribute to the lapse of time, an appeal to make the best of it – and a highly entertaining album of broken beats along with that.
