Zoomer (2002, physical format available from City Slang / Mute)

Zoomer was released at a time when wearing your indie rock roots on your sleeve (especially in the electronic-context) wasn`t considered a cool thing to do.....but it`s just what Schneider did and it was the best thing he could do. He had left his old life behind and started anew in Berlin, battling it out with the demons of his past.....all of this pretty audible on Zoomer. The album contains some stonkingly good pop songs, dubbed out electronic instrumentals, a strangely organic mutation of hip hop (with Max Turner on vocals), some inspiration from Shuggie Otis' Inspiration Information and believe it or not, an occasional nod towards The Cure and The Beach Boys. And all of this in a very tastful, timeless, warm and minimal sound design.

PLEASE NOTE

Due to the "strong" Euro our prices may seem somewhat eccentric to folks in the U.S. and other countries. But please note that you are buying directly from the makers of the music, the mp3s are sold in the highest possible resolution (which you won`t find on, for example iTunes) plus you get the artwork. But for all you Europeans it is definately a good buy.
