Neil Landstrumm - Understanding Disinformation (1996)


Neil Landstrumm's debut album for Tresor "Understanding Disinformation" is a raw slab of pulpy science fiction, an otherworldly tale of experimental and on-edge techno and a bizarre placement of William Burroughs within the realm of Star Wars. "Understanding Disinformation" is fearless music filled with danger, showing deep and deeper all sides of the Landstrumm fare. 

Landstrumm's uptempo side comes across in the tracks "Twisted in New York" and "Range Rover Traxx", two dizzying rides of torsion and frequency. His legendary capacity for aggressive dance induction is obvious in the percussive assault of "The Glasvegas Experience" and the even heavier flying saucer attack of "S. Board/ZX-81". 

In the album's ambient and almost beat-less tracks, "Invasion of the Bovine Snatchers" and "Nasty and Suspicious Nature", Landstrumm has sought out the cooler, crisper and stranger niches of his mind with creeping frequencies and crawling melodies.
