Title:  Winter Artist:  Cordell Klier Label:  Ad Noiseam Format:  CD Price:  € 12.50   Mp3 samples:   1   2

Title Description:
Precision, dedication, innovation. Such are the mottos by which Cordell Klier has worked all throughout his career. On once side with his own music, either under his own name or as Kreptkrept, OF or Monstrare, on the other side as the label manager of Doctsect, Cordell Klier is a driving force of the American electronic underground, putting his energy in both a music that definitely stands out and supporting many small acts.

Winter brings back the cold atmospheres indeed. In addition to the razor-sharp glitches of Apparitions are here used more drones and subdued basses. The vanishing precise beats settle with encompassing soundscapes. And the whole thing, as usual with Klier, is built up on original sounds and a massive sense for personal, introspective art.

Marking the result of a long evolution and the work of a insatiable musician, Winter is to stay a corner stone in KlierÕs discography. Coming after two praised releases (Apparitions and KreptkreptÕs Irregular dark beat) and an appearance on Klangmaschine (the Mille Plateaux / Ritornell homage to clickÕnÕcut innovators), this new album is one that definitely marks the coming of Cordell Klier as a mature artist, and not anymore a newcomer.

In the words of Klier a break through album, Winter is a work which has to be listened to with open ears and mind, and which has a lot to offer. Sharp, precise, introspect, this album is set to envelop the listener in a cold, and still somewhat human atmosphere. Let the winter in, as its wind carries many a rewarding moment.
