Tin Man (3)

Tin Man is a producer who can squeeze such aching melancholy from his trusted Roland gear that it nearly brings me to tears except for the propulsive and trance inducing bliss that he brings with his drum machine workouts. TB 303's, TR 707's and 909's somberly march and dance, cutting resonance sweeps pop in the mix cavernously and all with a pensive/sad melody-craft on par with the most depressive Depeche Mode or Disintegration era The Cure songs. All this might not be enough for some, his discography is peppered with a huge breadth in musical skill and sound design. Vienna Blue, a neoclassical, romantic and quit moving suite of nonclub oriented songs and medleys, or Cool Wave a gloomy and sardonically hip take on LA. Fans of gloomy New Wave and 90's drum machine jams look no further, here is a masterclass on not only techno, but music craft.
