The second outing of Johannes Volk for Running Back picks up, where Extra Dimensions left listeners: traditional techno components, an inclination for melodies, '80s electro(nic) pop and aesthesia for ecstasy. Something for everyone's taste and nothing tacky. Lightweave is like the conversation that Giorgio Moroder and Wolfgang Voigt never had. With a power plant of a bass line that's pretty much all you need. The direct connection to the EPs artwork is "Cubistic Pathway." Painted with acryl on canvas as a birthday present, it's like the title tracks little and playful brother and a homage to 16bit platform games like Turrican or Contra. "Fragments of Moments" is the sort of piano-not-piano-house stomper that classic techno DJs love, while "Sense of Wonder" is one of those songs without vocals that appeals to '80s-kids and their offspring. Last but not least, "Emotional Message" and its hypodermic breakbeat dates back to 2011, wears the heart on the sleeve, and screams tearjerker, bear hug or elevation. If you can't get enough of that, there are three digital bonus tracks, that mix, re-mix and fixate the topics you just read about. Volk's populi!
