Sleep, Engine Sleep

With "Sleep, engine sleep", his second solo release, Stefan Schneider provides a beautiful collection of minimal pulsing rhythms, fragile melodies and delicate sounds. The seven tracks on this mini album show a very intimate musical language simultaneously recalling Chain Reaction, Cluster and "clicks and cuts". “Stunning release by ‘To Rococo Rot’ member Stefan Schneider after his highly acclaimed solo debut on London's Soul Static Sound label. The sound of 'Sleep, Engine Sleep' has already moved on from its predecessor. Gone is the fixation with cold, almost machine-like interpretations of minimalism. Instead, the sound of ‘Mapstation’ has been infused with warmth, fuzz, pulsating rhythms and above all intimate melodies that retain a unique ambience and contain a kind of crack-dub that would not have sounded out of place on the recent Scape sampler. Very nice indeed.” (Boomkat)
