1998 full length from this German four-piece of post-human superheroes, recorded in luxurious 'some-fi' at Mouse-On-Mars' 'St.-Martin-in-the-Streets' studio, Düsseldorf. Their 2nd for Kiff SM, following their debut, Weekend & the brilliant remix album Resport on Stewardess. Grandiose looping, loping jams, thinly veiled as 'electronica' with hints to virtually all forms of post-1950 music. "They have attracted many, many comparisons, amongst them Can, Neu!, Tortoise, Mouse On Mars, Kraftwerk and Broadcast, though their music remains entirely their own. The album features 12 tracks, a brilliant and complete album and a significant step forward from Weekend. While still proclaiming their love for skewed melodies and a unique blend of live instrumentation and organic electronica, this new music is far more immediate and arresting than much of what has become known as post-rock."

Title:	Coldness
Label:	KIFF SM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	KIFF 013 CD

5-track remix EP, Kreidler's most outlandishly accessible moment, in a synth-electro style that is totally captivating. "'Coldness' is the first track since 1994 on which Kreidler have worked with vocal parts. For the second single of the album they reworked the track completely and arranged it new. An urban declaration of love between neon-lights, cocktail-glasses and new wave romanticism which rather watches the unknown beauty from the distinct than obtrusively approaches her. Frankfurt's Shantel who already supported Kreidler as DJ on their recent tour, pushes 'Coldness' into a completely different direction. The opening remix of this release is contributed by Daniel Miller from Mute Records and Frank Tovey, collectively known better as Fad Gadget or from Daniel's productions with Depeche Mode. Miller and Tovey's 'Sunroof Mix' filters Kreidler's reminiscences and forms there from a perfect piece of 80s synth pop. Retrospective-future music and that's no contradiction."
