Going Going Going

Released in 2017, 'Going Going Going' marks a significant return to the instrumental roots of Tosca, the Austrian duo comprising Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber. Following the more vocal-centric and experimental 'Odeon' and 'Outta Here', this album recalibrates their sound toward the expansive, dub-inflected downtempo that first brought them international acclaim with 'Opera' and 'Suzuki'. The recording process emphasized long-form compositions, with several tracks exceeding the six-minute mark, allowing the duo's trademark analog textures to evolve slowly. Critics noted the album's 'purity' and its rejection of contemporary electronic trends in favor of a timeless, high-fidelity aesthetic. It stands as a late-career highlight that reinforces their status as the primary architects of the Vienna Sound, focusing on rhythmic precision and lush, reverb-soaked atmospheres that bridge the gap between lounge music and ambient techno.
