Butane's previous album, the released in March 2008 ‘Becoming’, had that little something that placed it above dozens of almost identically sounding minimal records. The artist’s intelligent approach to making music, in combination with a féerie of hypnotic sounds that were placed on a canvas made of powerful, storming basslines, formed quite an energetic mixture.
The centre of gravity on ‘Endless Forms’ has been moved slightly in direction of Berlin made minimal. The vibe on Rasse’s new record isn’t as complete any more, and the psychedelic accents do not influence the listener in the narcotic manner they did on ‘Becoming’. Butane has become more frugal in his transmission, focusing instead on creating and looping endless musical forms, which are later only insignificantly adopted. The most interesting things on the album can be found in the countless FX build-ups and the sensual vocals on ‘Inferno Jack’.
I find it difficult to regard ‘Endless Forms’ as a milestone in Andrew Rasse’s career, despite the fact it has a very decent dose of modern techno in it. I'd rather incline towards admitting that I like ‘Becoming’ more.
