Autoclav1.1 – Diamondbackviper (Digital/CD Album – Audiophob)
This year, Tony Young celebrates the 20th anniversary of his sonic project, Autoclav1.1. Over the past two decades, he has crafted stunning albums released on renowned labels such as Crunch Pod, Tympanik Audio, WTII Records, and, more recently, Audiophob. His latest work offers an intimate glimpse into the British artist’s childhood, reflecting his thoughts and experiences from that time -beautifully expressed through evocative track titles and an eclectic Electro production. The album seamlessly blends Young’s signature influences, from his familiar IDM roots to Cinematic and Ambient elements. The tracklist is thoughtfully arranged, starting with eerie, Ambient compositions and gradually building toward more danceable pieces in the latter half. Pulsing beats invite listeners to move, while the intricate and nuanced arrangements reward attentive ears. Listeners will encounter deep, resonant basslines and witness the meticulous craftsmanship with which Young builds and evolves his tracks. While Autoclav1.1’s sound has become slightly less dark and more atmospheric, the album remains a captivating experience, offering a glimpse into the unique sonic world Tony Young has cultivated over two decades. (Rating:8).
