toneretraeger / this is not here (quatermass)

these days, i've been very busy and then may be also busy from now....:-<
however, i 've listened many discs since begining of 2005 because i purchased about 30 discs(new and old) so far. tonetraeger is one of them. this album was relased from quatermass. this label released music a.m. too. Volkar Bertelmann, a member of this project, is also acting as member of music a.m. and as hauschka at other times.
this album include many pop electronica sounds. all track mainly consists of acoustic sound, electronic sound and vocal singing. i think those heart-warming melodies may remind us of morr music,karaoke kalk and tomlab. this album can be said one of the successful instance that band-style sound and electronica sound are integrated into one form like lali puna, styrofoam and so on.
