Futurisme Restated - Review by Philipp Sherburne
"Sun Electric—the duo of Tom Thiel and Max Loderbauer—deserve more attention. Between 1990 and 1998, they carved out a uniquely colorful sound, beginning with lush fusions of techno, ambient, and trance on 1990’s Kitchen, delivering an ambient techno masterpiece with 1995’s 30.7.94 Live, and then going full IDM with 1996’s Present and 1998’s Via Nostra, which take elements of Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Squarepusher and sharpen them to glistening metallic points (or, alternately, inflate them into enormous translucent balloons). This 1996 live set captures them sculpting a handful of tracks from Present, alongside early single “Aaah!” and a few exclusives, into sleek cosmic voyagers. You can tell they’re actually playing these tracks, live, because they sound considerably different from their album versions (and not just because of the extensive reverb from the Viennese church where they played, which they seem to have woven back into the final mix, along with audience noise in between some tracks). It’s a reminder of a time when Sun Electric were making some of the most sumptuous electronic music on the planet, while melting distinct subgenres into a one-of-a-kind alloy."
Max Loderbauer, Tom Thiel aka Sun Electric

Tom Thiel´s Single SPIDER is out today on all digital platforms. The full ALBUM will be released on October 27.

„Producer Tom Thiel has worked in the medium of electronic music since the 1980s, been active in
the musical epicenter of Berlin since 1987 and with the Sun Electric duo, he was already at the forefront of live / “real time” electronica since the 1990s.
Incidentally, Sun Electric are set to release an archival live set from this period on Arjunamusic later
this year.
Though not everyone becomes exceptional on the basis of “veteran” status alone, Thiel’s latest work shows that he has made good on one of the main promises held out by electronic music and sound synthesis: namely, that it would also provide unexpected, novel, highly individualized syntheses of
different attitudes, atmospheres, and affects. This is happily the case with Thiel’s new Arjunamusic release (his first full solo outing since his eponymous 2011 album): it’s a series of colorful, selfcontained vignettes that are perceptibly drawn from an eclectic pool of personal experiences and insights.“

—>> still a few copies left
"A truly transcendental music.” - Jono.co.uk
"One thing is certain; once one has heard Rohrer's music it will be instantly recognizable forever.” - All About Jazz
"Samuel Rohrer's music is unlike any other.The composer sculpts the sounds with a refinement of airy fluidity, building titles combining lightness and elastic power, creativity and oinirism, positivism and joie de vivre. Codes of Nature forms a stellar whole, where experimentation and improvisation, organic and electronic sounds, jazz and futuristic tribality, marry with impressive accuracy, leading us into a magical place with invigorating waves. Vital.” - Silence And Sound
