Bleep

Challenging every preconception built around his staggering back catalogue of releases, Dirk Dresselhaus aka Schneider Tm channels a tentative conceptual space on his Editions Mego debut The 8 of Space; somewhere between Coil and Kraftwerk, with a touch of Bowie’s Berlin trilogy avant-pop informing its strikingly immediate songwriting.
