By a deep plunge into the world of sound of their counterpart both are trying to find gateways in order to expand their own possibilities. While Apparat used to stand for an algorithms-based aesthetics and Ellen Allien fathomed the possible heights and depths of the dance floor widthways as well, for their joint production they dabble in a principle which electronic music is dedicated to from the very beginning and which is now only spelled differently: Contingency. Meaning, Ellen Allien and Apparat indeed take on the connections between Techno and IDM, but extend the original horizon with their thoughtful way of production where they interpenetrate, empathise and move their own artistic borders.
This becomes precise in those moments when Apparat not just aims at the dance floor but reaches it with the help of Ellen Alliens keen sense for a heavy on bass-keynote that gives his melancholic superstructure its cathedral of sound-adhesion. On the other hand Ellen Alliens claim to produce "brainish" music isnt just an empty phrase but comes alive again.
By using their special Lego-block beats the musicians create a playful re-definition of abstract Elektro, which could be seen as the gateway between both of them and at the same time synchronizes their heart beats.

Way Out
Ellen Allien & Apparat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spotting trains at home
Shrinking world, dry lakes
Storm is blowing dark
Way out is hard

Overall Meaning

Ellen Allien & Apparat's song "Way Out" has a reflective and introspective tone, with the lyrics describing feelings of being trapped and isolated in a shrinking world. The opening line "spotting trains at home" suggests a longing for something that is out of reach, while the mention of "dry lakes" and a "storm blowing dark" convey a sense of desolation and emptiness. The repeated phrase "way out is hard" further emphasizes the difficulty of escaping this state of mind.


The lyrics can be interpreted in a number of ways, but one possible meaning is that they are speaking to the experience of feeling disconnected from the world and struggling to find a way to connect or find meaning. The image of spotting trains at home could represent a desire for travel and exploration, or it could be a metaphor for seeking connection and engagement with the world beyond one's immediate surroundings.


In all, "Way Out" is a haunting and evocative song that captures the loneliness and difficulty of trying to find one's way in a complex and challenging world.
