Riton
Eine kleine Nachtmusik

label: Modular

RATING:

image image image image image

Or, if you don’t sprichst Deutsch; A Little Night Music. This release is the latest from one of the most versatile and consistently interesting producers around – Riton. The project has gestated from his recent interest in what the English call, rather crudely, Krautrock – the spacey, ultra experimental sounds of bands like DAF and artists such as Wolfgang Reichmann. Released on Modular, and with and accompanying short film, staring Henry James himself, this is a truly outstanding effort - much more homage than copy. To record this Riton bought together a small band of musicians to create a micro orchestra in his London studio, but the sound they have created is far from small. From epic string soaked soundscape’s, to jolly numbers with glockenspiels, as well as heavier cuts that will work as well on the dancefloor as the headphones, this just keeps growing and growing on me. Highly, highly recommended. Even if you are German, and think you know ‘Krautrock’ (sorry….) inside out.
