German duo Arne Schaffhausen and Wayan Raabe; seminal early-2000s EPs; album Schöne Neue Extrawelt (2008) acclaimed for blending techno, psy-trance influences and IDM/ambient textures.

A highly positive, detailed review praising Extrawelt's 2008 album Schöne Neue Extrawelt for its originality, melodic depth and experimental fusion of techno, psy and IDM. The reviewer highlights continuity with earlier landmark EPs (Schmedding 8000; Soopertrack / Zu Fuss) and describes the album as a journey. Recommended for listeners who appreciate long-form, atmospheric electronic tracks.

For:Fans of experimental techno, tech-house, minimal and IDM; listeners who enjoy long-form, atmospheric electronic albums.

 The album is exceptional and doesn’t shy away from repeatedly recalling what were the two masterpiece EPs "Schmedding 8000" and "Soopertrack / Zu Fuss" (authentic sell-outs as well as records of disarming beauty), thus often and willingly preferring atmosphere and melody to the bass drum, addressing both bodies and minds indiscriminately (just as it happened on "Zu Fuss", surely their most famous track, also due to the majestic, cosmic, burial-esque and alien ambient version) or reprising the progressive structures of the statuary "8000" and the formal/structural aspects of the less cerebral "Doch Doch", with pulsating lows with elaborate and round lines, slapped bass drums, rich, curated, and trippy arrangements.
