THE REVIEW

Facing a new work by the German duo is always a challenge, given that by some fortuitous astral conjunction Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner manage to amaze at every step, using the distinctive features of the previous work as a starting point for the new one. It is indeed rare to find groups capable of producing 9 albums in 10 years, consistently pursuing a distinctive sound, especially considering that they have done it again.
The thing is doubly surprising, as this Radical Connector is the closest thing to a song-oriented album ever made by the fantastischen zwei of Teutonic electronics.

Finally, songs like "Send Me Shivers" or "Mine Is Yours," highly enjoyable for listeners seeking catchy melodies as well as for the more demanding ones looking for cutting-edge timbral explorations.
How they manage to satisfy both Stockhausen fans and the dance floor, they probably don't even know themselves. They succeed. And we can only enjoy it.

Send me shivers down

Through a voice out of nowhere
When the boats go round
Tun on back to a spiral

Turn back
