Brigade - Unlimited Dreams Corporation [LP]

Berlin-based duo Brigade returns with their sophomore effort, having spent the intervening years refining their approach to sample-based composition. Where 2022's Hard Times, Soft Music established their credentials as purveyors of comfort food electronics, Unlimited Dreams Corporation finds the pair digging deeper into the archives, constructing elaborate sonic collages from decades of discarded vinyl. The fictional corporate framework, a company peddling bespoke dream experiences, works as an aesthetic guide, appropriate for 2025. The fourteen tracks unfold with the patience of bedroom producers who understand that the best plunderphonic work happens in the margins. Brigade layers found sounds and field recordings with careful restraint, creating pockets of warmth that invite repeated listening. The broken beat rhythms feel lived-in rather than showy, while the more ambient moments provide necessary breathing room. It's headphone music that rewards attention without demanding it, the kind of record that reveals new details months after initial discovery. A1. Unlimited Dreams Corporation (3:11) A2.
