Thomas Brinkmann



This is a song based album by minimal producer Thomass Brinkmann. If you would normally stop reading after that first sentence, please bare with me: this is really not a techno album. This is a dark, drone-filled, dubby masterpiece.

Sounding a bit like an updated, more germanic version of current 93's rambling narratives mixed with a bit of Scot Walker's The drift and then remixed by muslimgauze, it somehow still ends up as a bit of a pop record.

I'm not sure how it manages to sound so foreboding without being at all over the top and naff, but damn, it does and I love it.

When Horses Die by Thomas Brinkmann was released in Febuary by Max Ernst.

(wow, that was sort of an actual review, wasn't it?)
