Thomas Fehlmann - Honigpumpe

dclambert, Feb 14, 2008

It honestly doesnt get much better than this one here. Thomas Fehlmann is a proper electronic producer. (Mr. Fehlmann happens to be that guy who wasnt Dr. Patterson in that wonderful group The Orb circa 1991--"Little Fluffy Clouds"!)

But nonetheless, this album is a stunning tapesty of aural fabrics that resist conventional description. Fehlmann has that golden touch--which was also strong with brave Sir Richard D. James--of great producers that will absorb your attention while youre still deciding whether this type of music is "for you." Youll find yourself (in the right circumstances) concocting absurd abstractions in a silly fight to articulate what youre hearing: "Oh this VELvelty organ hoof was being cushioned by a four-to-the-floor" beat that screamed "precious" every three beat."
Ookaaay...SEEyuh!

Just simply beautiful stuff. One that stands apart from some of the stale sounds being recycled these days. Check out Kalabreses "Rumpelzirkus" as if you enjoyed this one. He deserves more attention than he gets.
