Atom™: Lassigue Bendthaus/Matter

Uwe Schmidt è un gigante.

Artista di grande spessore e versatilità, sotto i vari pseudonimi AtoTM, Atom Heart o Señor Coconut, il musicista tedesco ha segnato con il suo lavoro alcune delle più intriganti traiettorie dell'elettronica europea degli ultimi decenni.

Per inaugurare la propria etichetta e forte di un archivio personale di oltre duemila composizioni, AtomTM ripubblica una serie di lavori creati tra gli anni Ottanta e i Novanta, licenziati allora, nel 1991, sotto il nome Lassigue Bendthaus.

Chi è abituato alle solari sortite di Señor Coconut si sorprenderà forse un po' nel ritrovare qui una musica piuttosto diversa, più scura e robotica, ancora legata a sonorità tardo industrial che già virano verso la techno e l'acid-house.

Se il linguaggio era in parte differente da quello che poi ha sancito la fama del musicista, la capacità di costruire i pezzi con efficacia era già evidente in questi lavori che, complici anche le continue ondate di revival, suonano decisamente convincenti anche oggi.
