Review

This German trio with an arty palindrome for a moniker makes playful, organic music that falls somewhere between experimental techno and "postrock." Like their forebears Kraftwerk, TRR do not use sequencers and computer gadgetry associated with modern electronic music. On this lovely, breakthrough disc, the group flavors their experimentation with bouncing melodies. --Mike McGonigalTrack 8 on To Rococo Rot's The Amateur View has the nerve to borrow its title from Gary Numan's most famous song. Although their "Cars" isn't a cover of that "Cars," it manages to be every bit as catchy, turning a semaphore beep, a sing-song xylophone figure, and a watery six-note bass line into an unlikely pop confection. On the rest of the German trio's third album, they stick to what they usually stick to: a lulling update of the pastoral instrumentals created 25 years ago by their fellow countrymen Cluster. The result is an attempt to recreate the random beauty of nature in the realm of the unnatural. The 11 tracks on The Amateur View sound less composed than stumbled upon within the depths of the band's machines. It's as if To Rococo Rot, microphones and tape recorders in hand, simply happened upon the digital equivalent of birdcalls, burbling streams, and rustling leaves, then delivered to your stereo system the Y2K version of an Environments record. If you've never had the patience for nature walks, it'll probably seem like a bore. But if flora and fauna are your idea of a good time, check out the new wilderness. --Jeff Salamon
