Lippock, Lippock and Schneider return with an album, I'm guessing its about their eighth (?). I'm digging the basslines and the general kraut/ kosmische vibes. There's certainly echoes of their forefathers (Cluster/ Harmonia) going on here. I think these guys really do balance the organic/ live instruments with electronics way better than a lot of groups and this album really is evidence of this. Some fine electronic sounds happening here and it's most pleasant throughout.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· In the mid-nineties, along with Tortoise, To Rococo
Rot made music where everything seemed possible -
post rock, intricate rhythms and electronics merged to
make futuristic yet wonderfully organic sounds.
· ‘Speculation’ could finally show To Rococo Rot as
natural heirs to the kosmiche and krautrock musics they
grew up on – Can, Faust (Original member Jochen
Imler even plays on the epic ‘Fridays’), Cluster and
Harmonia are all referenced here, but in stunning new
ways.
· Stefan’s basswork even references the intricate space
between melody and rhythm that made early New
Order and ACR so fascinating.
