D/B Recommended: Tom Thiel & NSI @ .HBC Berlin | Saturday, 23.04.2011

Following the release of his new album on Shitkatapult, Sun Electric founding member Tom Thiel performs a live show at .HBC.

[audio:Tom Thiel – Sum Sum.mp3]Support is from Non-Standard Instute, a duo comprising Max Loderbauer and Tobias Freund. A great line-up if youre looking for some cutting-edge electronic computer music.

TOM THIEL seems to be unflappable. On his solo debut album (released quite late in his career), he doesn’t make too much of an effort regarding zeitgeist and trends. And why should he? He has been a part of it all since forever, no need to prove anything to anyone.

And PULSE is the beginning of a great album, located somewhere in the warm regions of the genre. Like a sine wave, the record swerves from House (STHG, Loose Ends) to Electronica (Craxa, Suzuka, Nordish) and even touches the latitudes of pure Ambient. Apart from a couple of short pieces, there are nine-minute songs (Laissez-Faire) and psychedelic guitar compositions (Falls), rummaging around in the depths of music, allthewhile self-confident and playful.
