Maßstab 1:5 – M:I:5 – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1996, M:I:5’s Maßstab 1:5 stands as a pivotal artifact in the evolution of minimalist techno. Helmed by Thorsten Profrock—later celebrated for his work as T++ and with Chain Reaction—this record distills the essence of Berlin’s late-’90s underground: austere yet pulsating, cerebral yet deeply physical. Each track unfolds with meticulous attention to sonic texture and spatial interplay, balancing hypnotic repetition with subtle, shifting detail. What makes Maßstab 1:5 so compelling is its sense of place: you can almost feel the reverberation of warehouse walls and the pulse of concrete floors in every measure. It’s more than just a collection of tracks; it’s a blueprint for techno’s minimalist future, influencing everyone from contemporary experimentalists to club DJs seeking depth. This album rewards close listening—its layers and micro-rhythms reveal new details on each spin. For collectors, Maßstab 1:5 offers not just a window into a formative era of electronic music, but a timeless lesson in restraint and atmosphere. A true essential for anyone who believes electronic music can be both radical and timeless.
