After three years of silence, Negative Format, the one-man techno/trance/aggrotech band of Alex Matheu, is back with a brand new studio album for 2008. "Gradients" will be released on Metropolis and is available from April 22nd on. The follow-up album to 2005's "Moving Past The Boundaries" CD holds 12 tracks and is described by the label as, what do you expect, the best Negative Format album ever, and actually, listening to the audio previews at the band's MySpace page at www.myspace.com/negativeformat we can only but agree with this.
