Kölsch's fourth full-length is a continuously mixed set of original productions released by Fabric, rather than longtime home Kompakt. Even more so than his other albums, this one is meant to evoke an extended global journey -- all of the tracks are named after specific flight numbers from Kölsch's busy international touring itinerary. The overall mood isn't quite as dramatic as his other full-lengths, and it's paced more like a proper DJ set at a club. Still, the gentle rushes of strings and dark, swirling synths ensure that these tracks are tense and emotionally stirring. Following the crashing waves of echo during "LH479" and the subdued, ruminative pianos of "SK1550," things really start to simmer during "EZY865," where a haunting, shredded vocal loop is met with rhapsodic strings. This segues into "VA5641," a cracking electro cut with a fuzzy, distant chiming pattern and complex yet funky synth arpeggios. Subsequent tracks like "KM477" have their trance-like moments, but manage to avoid getting too overblown -- Kölsch knows how to express sentiments and convey moods without sounding cheesy. The album winds down with "EI3227," a summery reminiscence graced with tranquil organs and flickers of wispy vocals near its conclusion. Fabric Presents Kölsch strikes a nice balance between club functionality and emotive storytelling. It hints at certain levels of intensity without inhabiting them, and while it's easy to listen to and get lost inside, it's never predictable or dull.
