Frank Bretschneider Appreciation Thread

Just discovered the amazing Works of Frank Bretschneider a/k/a Komet. Don't believe I never checked this guy out.

Just brilliant.

Thoughts?

EDIT: sorry if jazz.

I totally get lost in it at the moment. Especially in "Rhythm". Just tight Beats. Does he use a 808?

Check out 'Curve'

I love this guy hes amazing.Glad to see someone else appreciates him too .

I definitely will.

thanks

I've got a 10" of his somewhere, called Party of two parts, t's quite enjoyable and fun to play in a abstract or minimal techno set.

That's all of his I ever heard though.

Also check Balance, his collab with Taylor Deupree.

Saw yesterday that he also has a new audio/visual release called EXP coming out on Raster:

Curve is a superb record by this guy.

Yeah, Curve is my favourite Bretschneider release, although I've liked everything I've heard (even the live set I saw in a Berlin bar, although it was pretty much as Jonas described).

Balance w/ Deupree is a close 2nd best of the albums I've heard.

If you liked Rhythm i suggest you to check out Signal - Robotron (Frank Bretschneider + Carsten Nicolai + Olaf Bender).

One of the few albums from this kind of minimal sound that has aged very well.

nice

Mr Bretschneider certainly sticks out from the masses of other minimalist glitch artists to the point of his work being very 'musical' and having a personality rather than forgettable chin scratching fodder.

Not decided about his Rhythm album tho, I prefer the more polite works of Rand and Curve
