Hubris by Oren Ambarchi, released in 2016 on Editions Mergo.

Hubris continues the exploration of relentless, driving rhythms heard on Ambarchi’s Sagittarian Domain and Quixotism. Where those records looked to Krautrock and techno for their starting points, the sidelong opening track here begins from the perhaps unlikely inspirations of disco and new wave, drawing particularly from Ambarchi’s love of Wang Chung’s soundtrack to William Friedkin’s To Live and Die in L.A.
...Few artists could hope to include such an incredible variety of collaborators on one record and still hope for it to have a unique identity, but Ambarchi manages to do just that, crafting three pieces that emerge directly out of his previous work while also pushing ahead into new dimensions.
