Why it's here

Pop hooks and major-key melody stay locked to minimal techno's forward push on Chromophobia. Gui Boratto grounds the sweetness in something physical. The result gives Kompakt's melodic-techno house style one of its clearest album forms. 'Beautiful Life' is the eight-minute pop song hiding inside a minimal techno album, and it is why the record traveled.
