TASS 2 – Unterhaltung

Minimal electronics has a few different faces. There is a rather poppy version of the genre but also a more experimental version with early industrial influences. This record by TASS 2 is for sure one that belongs to the experimental style.

The sounds on this album are raw, noisy and dark. Some comparisons to early Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and Gerechtigkeitsliga can be made, but TASS 2 is more typical minimal electronics then these artists.

Titles like ‘Stahlgeburt’ and ‘Muzac’ speak for themselves. Best tracks are the dark pulsating Unterhaltung’ and ‘Tunnelmensch’.

If you want to hear some authentic minimal electronics that are harsh and intense, this lp is a must have.
