While it lacks in pure creativity and originality, Monolake's Polgygon Cities works in its technique and precision. By no means is this a progressive minimalistic techno, even with its obscure dub influence - it remains a fine example of a group honing its craft in ever-evolving movement that techno has become ever since its beginnings. Pulling back, Polygon Cities guides its way from menacing tones, computerized voice samples and shadowy percussion movements. It is in essence a caricature of the genre, without the dumbing or abuse that one would expect from generic versions of any genre, in particular minimal tech.
