T/M/K - Need The Needle



Title:
Artist:T/M/K
Release:June 2009
Label:Aentitainment


T/M/K hailing from Turin Italy is a mysterious collective of innovative artists and musicians. Releasing intelligent experimental electronic music since ten years. Formerly known as the “Three Maldoror Kollektive” - which transformed to “Textbook of Modern Karate” - released nine innovativealbums.
Now these restless chameleons return with their newest and maybe most accessible release called “Need The Needle”. An album that confuses and bewitches its listener at once. Like changing their projects name without changing the initials – they change in each track the style, the sound and the atmosphere without changing their leitmotiv of their songs.
Yes, you've heard right – I name the tracks songs – this music is rich like and deep, tells stories and changes its identity in a second to another. Complex sopundscapes and noises meet intelligent and virtuously played music. Accessible melodies turn into sound labyrinths – but even in its most demanding moments you won't feel lost with this music and skip to the next song. This music mesmerises its listener – electronica meets jazzmetal poetry.
Its kind of sitting in an obscure circus – you never know what will happen next? A dwarf carries two elephants when the curtain opens again.
“Need The Needle” is a poetic, powerful and surprising album – full of ideas, musical citations, taking your ears and brain to places you never been before. This is music that makes its listener addicted – complex, demanding and beautiful.
A masterpiece!
