Tocotronic vs Console - Freiburg 3.0

German based Tocotronic is one of the most potent indie bands in Europe. This remix--remake, really--by Console, is a pulsing blips-and-bleeps electro pop tune that rivals Console's best stuff. Atop Lo-Fi analogue-synth waves reminiscent of early Human League, Gary Numan or Visage--or more recent retro-electro acts like Ladytron and Lowfish--With vocals provided by the synth underworld artist Miss Kitten, the coherent whole is brilliant, propelled along rather than aimlessly gurgling, and retaining Tocotronic's short pop structure. Pulled with love from the 2000 EP release with the same name.
