Review
Very cold and mechanical electronic wave. this album is dangerous and not for everyone's ears. His inspired abstract and freak out droning soundscapes / radiant synth chords are totally absent. The musical picture is turned to futurist and robotic sounds with electronic noises and speeches. It sounds very dated contrary to a large part of his production. However we can hear some strange but nice melodies with full colours of industrial landscapes. "Kohlen" is a deranged track made of collage sounds, repetitive synth lines, doom bass pulsations and voices. "Nachte In Kreuzberg" is a humorous composition for machines, repetitive pulses and Teutonic recitations. "Hongkong" features drum machines, druggy indulgent voices and ambient sounds for a mechanical-psycho trip. "Coca" is closed to Kraftwerk (The man machine period) with its simplistic electro-pop melody, cold repetitive voices and its great dose of humour..."Das Tier" remains CON3 typical signature with its mechanic electronic phases, crazy narratives and evident sense of derision. We can regret the predominance of vintage computer sounds that makes this album slightly hard to digest. There's nothing organic or human here. Totally non essential, only recommended for extreme Schnitzler's fans.
