After interim activities such as remixing Depeche Mode and appearing at several festivals, the likeable master of the Casio releases his fifth album. The aural handwriting of few contemporary electronic musicians is as distinctive as Schlammpeitziger's.
Everything Without All Inclusive perfects and expands his signature friendly Casio-grooves and irresistible melodies with surprising elements beneath the surface - seriousness and doubt. Schlammpeitziger always augments his melodious tracks with subtle layers of noise. Many here have an ambiguous quality that's hard to grasp; arrangements are shot through less with a barrel-organ sort of humour than with desire and melancholy. Nevertheless, this music is surely big fun and good for love at first sight. But it also stands the test of the second and third sight. On further hearings, this music reveals qualities submerged by a wave of sympathy in the initial encounter.1. Behabige Alarmschwarmlage (Sluggish Alarm Swarm Scenario) 2.
