The self-titled debut from this '90s German post-rock group threw a new light on the fusion of rock, improvisation, and electronica. The group inventively cut and pastes their studio improvisations into groovy angular instrumental music -- drawing on the techniques of
Can, Faust, and
This Heat, their debut bares many similarities to the Chicago post-rock sound of
Tortoise, Rome, and
Gastr del Sol. The debut sets the tone for three very unique and inspired albums that would follow.
