Automat – PlusMinus
Automat is: Jochen Arbeit (Einstürzende Neubauten, Die Haut), Achim Färber (Project Pitchfork, Prag, Philipp Boa) and Georg Zeitblom (Sovetskoe Foto).
Berlin-based trio recorded an exceptional album. Denser and more unflinching, there’s nothing here that one could hold to, and yet so much of it that the listener is transported into a kind of trance.
It is the 1950s analog technology of Candy Bomber Studios in Berlin-Tempelhof.
Without much rehearsal, the first take was final—limitation as strength. Almost all the tracks on the album are named after the sonic devices and effects units that were the focus during production like "EMT 140" or "H 910".
Thunderous bass lines, delirious rhythms and hypnotic sounds of "PlusMinus" make the notion of categories and genres seem superfluous.
With "PlusMinus" Automat succeed in creating their interim masterpiece.
