Last copies, reduced price. "Schneider TM returns to mess with your minds with the release of 'Frogtoise', a limited edition single which features one of the stand out tracks from his album Zoomer. Inspired by a dream in which Schneider dreamt he had surgically spliced together a frog and a turtle, the single contains four radically different versions of the song. The lead Frogtoise Exploitation Edit blossoms vividly with a rich palette of sounds, a killer melody and a timbre that Schneider memorably described (flippantly, possibly) as 'post-Timbaland'. The Frogtoise Vredus Remix is a more electro-pop friendly version, drier and glossier and not a million miles away from a more avant-garde Pet Shop Boys! The Frogstears Schneider FM Remake sees Schneider TM take an acoustic approach to the song -- something that he is also able to do with any of the songs on Zoomer, and which he probably will -- while Fruktos sees Schneider's live companion KptMichigan tear the song apart in a glitch and crackle style." This CD version adds a video clip.

Remixes by Schneder TM of: Pulseprogramming, Margo, Lamb, Rechenzentrum, Turtle Bay Country Club, The Faint, Phillip Boa & the Voodooclub, Ruby, Lambchop, Alc Levora, Boss Hog, Turner. "Some of Dirk Dresselhaus' favourite music includes The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Richard D. James, Autechre, Sun Ra, Shuggie Otis and Daniel Johnston. One of his particular favourites is Neil Young's 1982 album Trans, where nearly everything was played through a vocoder. 'It's definitely one of my main influences for doing the Schneider TM stuff. It's a really strange record, really great.' Schneider TM's acclaimed second album Zoomer was recorded in Dirk's Berlin living room studio and released on the City Slang label in September 2002. Since then he has travelled Zoomer around the world with a 3-piece band comprising of longtime friends and collaborators Kpt Michigan and Christian Obermaier. 'The way I do music, for example, it's very much a reflection of life. Basically it's folk music I would say. From the main vibe, telling strange fluid stories about whatever and everything you see, or I see, or we see or whatever, somehow affects the music very much. It's difficult to do political music but music is more often alternative to politics because music connects people so well.' There are many more stories, have a listen."

"Dirk Dresselhaus' aka Schneider TM, second full length album, Zoomer, harnesses a sublimely modern depth of musical vision to the hard won wisdom of life experience. A proper album developed over the course of three years, Zoomer is the sound of electronica, at last, with something to say. What about genuinely crafted songwriting? Check. Pop hooks? Check. Catchy vocal melodies? Check. Schneider TM brings a singer-songwriter sensibility for words and music to the ambitions of a sonic explorer."
