Double LP version. Includes download code. Berlin's own Marco Haas, aka T.Raumschmiere, made an irreparable impression globally in the '00s as a saw-toothed, anti-rave radical, thanks to his immense stage antics and larger-than-life releases on Novamute. Since then, Haas has established himself as a contemporary with emotive, dark ambient tales on his own imprints Shitkatapult and AlbumLabel. Kompakt's love affair with Haas goes back to their earliest days. Some of his first tracks were released on Kompakt in the form of two raw EPs entitled Bolzplatz (KOM 021EP, 2000) and Musick (KOM 037EP, 2001). These two formative releases elevated the "Schaffel" sound to raw and shameless places never before imagined. The results set a tidal wave in motion that to this day remains one of Kompakt's most infamous legacies. In an off-chance reunion with Haas in his studio, Kompakt learnt about what he'd been doing since the "Monstertruckdriver" days. It turned out he's been ever so busy outside of the mainstream working with the likes of Dieter Meier of Yello, Caspar Brötzmann, Andreas Dorau, Fraktus, Ofrin, or Barbara Morgenstern, and his recent work with Ulli Bomans, aka Schieres, as SHRUBBN!!. Kompakt present T.Raumschmiere's new, epic solo full-length Heimat. It presents another side of his work which was always there, but never got that much airtime: the artist, the author, the composer with the crystal-clear sound. Heimat is a stunning techno album that neither excludes ambient, nor gets reduced to constant ass kicking. It's perhaps the best recording so far from this man who asks so deeply, so extensively, so much. And at some point even answers.

There is a purpose behind ambient music: it is utility music. Brian Eno made that clear once and for all with Music for Airports -- the utilitarian nature of this music can already be found in the title. But way before that, in 1920, Erik Satie composed "Musique d'ameublement" -- furniture music. The purpose of his furniture music was also to bridge the awkward gaps in conversation in social situations. In turn, Eno's airport music is meant to serve as background music while sounding interesting enough for listeners to become absorbed. If we go by Eno's definition, the music on T.Raumschmiere's new album is not ambient. Although -- or in fact, because -- each individual track on this album immediately and effortlessly generates atmospheres, it is impossible not to be drawn in. Clearly a new meaning of the term ambient is needed to describe the music on this album more accurately. It is music that never sounds deliberate yet at the same time is so compelling, which might have something to do with the fact that Shitkatapult label founder Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere is the one behind it. As T.Raumschmiere, Haas produces a sound with influences ranging from bass music and punk rock to industrial. A darkly beating pulse works like a machine through the surging pads of "Dampfer". Synths drone languidly on "Anker". T.Raumschmiere deftly manages to avoid succumbing to the kitsch that often arises from these kinds of sounds. "Grotznogg" has an inner stillness within the rustling and scattered clattering and clanging. The track "007" is a post-industrial masterpiece -- warm, heavy, and latently threatening.

Previously released on CD by Shitkatapult, now available in a 180 gram 3LP version: the first two records are the full Tank U record plus an exclusive vinyl track, the third record is all-instrumental, plus one CD, one pin, one patch and one sticker. Packaged in a deluxe boxset. After years of waiting, Shitkatapult label-head Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere finally releases the album that completes the series begun by the two previous Mute albums, Radio Blackout (2003) and Blitzkrieg Pop (2005). I Tank U is the end result of a musical progress: it is dark electronica, techno history, and songwriting, jammed in a terrific rock record. The number of featured guests on this album is remarkable: the notorious energy rappers from Deichkind with The Crack Whore Society, the alien rappers from the Puppetmastaz, the great Tim Vanhamel from Deus and Millionaire, the artist duo Warren Suicide, as well as Lilian Hak, Barbara Panther and Gene Serene. The rapping techno beats, cranky patterns, eerie melodies and those front row beasts gushing with energy do not compete with each other, but create an entity together. The live drums and guitars meet generated synth sounds and distorted bass lines. I Tank U is more of an electronic rock album than a rocking electronic album. Either way, T.Raumschmiere continues to defy rules in a refreshing way, just in the nick of time.

After years of waiting, Shitkatapult label-head Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere finally releases the album that completes the series begun by the two previous Mute albums, Radio Blackout (2003) and Blitzkrieg Pop (2005). I Tank U is the end result of a musical progress: it is dark electronica, techno history, and songwriting, jammed in a terrific rock record. The number of featured guests on this album is remarkable: the notorious energy rappers from Deichkind with The Crack Whore Society, the alien rappers from the Puppetmastaz, the great Tim Vanhamel from Deus and Millionaire, the artist duo Warren Suicide, as well as Lilian Hak, Barbara Panther and Gene Serene. The rapping techno beats, cranky patterns, eerie melodies and those front row beasts gushing with energy do not compete with each other, but create an entity together. The live drums and guitars meet generated synth sounds and distorted bass lines. After all, it's the two instrumental tracks, the rock tunes sung by Haas himself, and the analogical mixing by Moses Schneider that make I Tank U more of an electronic rock album than a rocking electronic album. This release defies any prevailing pessimism about stale techno by doing whatever it fancies and saying no to all strictly defined label boundaries. After The Great Rock'n Roll Swindle (Shitkatapult, 2002), the crude techno long player which assembled his first 12"s, as well as the ambient album Anti (Hefty, 2002), T.Raumschmiere released Radio Blackout (2003) and Blitzkrieg Pop (2005) on Novamute, Mute's techno-oriented subsidiary. He has toured all around the world as a popular techno DJ as well as with his live band, reanimated his love for ambient through the re-edition Random Noize Sessions Vol.1 (Shitkatapult, 2006) and issued some rad-as-hell techno as Shrubbn!!, Together with Ulli Bomans. No matter what the guise, T.Raumschmiere continues to defy rules in a refreshing way, just in the nick of time.

Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere introduces the second 12" chapter of his album I Tank U. This 12" features Puppetmastaz and Deichkind with The Crack Whore Society as debuting guest vocalists. "Animal Territory" presents Puppetmastaz on a heavy rock synth beat. It's rap/tech/rock as classical Def Jam link between Beastie Boys and Run DMC. "Brenner" takes a deep step into the rap history of tomorrow. The clear techno beat tells the story of a burnout party feeling with no return.

Berliner Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere is back home with his new full length work on his own Shitkatapult label. Random Noize Sessions Vol. 1 features a collection of lost studio and live recordings from the past six years (1999-2005). Music-wise these tracks follow the same idea as the Anti album on Hefty records (Chicago, 2002) -- dark ambient tracks, beats and pictures: random noize. From the beginning to the applause-ending (from his ambient live set in Düsseldorf church, Johanniskirche) this whole CD is a breathtaking movie, and in the best tradition of dark Asian movies fighting the new minimal deal. Titles like "In The Ghetto," "Radikal Mediation," "Neulich Im Bestattungs-Discount" follow the general T.Raumschmiere idea. After his major releases on Novamute, Random Noize Sessions Vol. 1 is not only a new album, but also a missing link between his punk techno anti-spectacle and his inner vision of techno/ambient music. These are traditional new music footprints following Robert Hood or Mike Ink, and married to influences from great artists like Coil or Steve Albini. Free of any chic or trendy idea, Random Noize is purely sick music at its best. The track "Die Alte Leier," the most clubbing track from the album will be released on the 12" version and will include a wonderful old school exclusive techno track entitled "It's All About the Leierei" by Alex Cortez and T.Raumschmiere from 1996 as a B-side. This album was mastered by Cristian Vogel.

"'Sick Like Me' is the first single from T.Raumschmiere's forthcoming album Blitzkrieg Pop. Containing more apparent punk rock influences as well as his own vocals, T.Raumschmiere also enlisted the help of his friends Ellen Allien (Bpitch Control), Sandra Nasic (from Guano Apes), Quasimodo Jones and Judith Juillerat (both from T.Raumschmiere's own Shitkatapult label) and more to build Blitzkrieg Pop into an alternate universe's punk rock anthem. 'Sick Like Me' features alternate versions and remixes by Motor."

Debut Raumschmiere on Mute, only released in the UK. "T.Raumschmiere is the alias of 27 year-old Berliner, Marco Haas. He has produced music since 1997, mainly for his own label Shitkatapult and for imprints such as Cologne's Kompakt and Hefty Records of Chicago. Gnarled bass-lines, known in German as 'Gnarzigkeit' have become his stylistic device. His brand of 'minimalism' is to achieve the 'maximum' with as few means as possible -- with a decidedly punk ethos: why go for sterile minimalism when you can rock out? This bluntness informs the T.Raumschmiere sound: bass sequencing with scratched up, brushed down beats and no unnecessary breaks in the sound." Remixers: Dabrye and Miss Kitten.

"There's definitely something real big taking charge here! Mr. Raumschmiere flashes his two-finger British fuck-off pose as if it just took just two to do all the work - straight up punk attitude. His new EP/CD titled The Great Rock'n'roll Swindle doesn't just gleam with presence of mind but actually ends up being a great big lie. What we have here rocks and rolls in quite a major way. So where's the swindle? The opening title track knocks down pins as seldom heard before. It belongs in every real DJ's first-aid kit for those moments when the crowd is waning in need of a boost. The unmistakable gnarz-bass battles venomous melodies in a high-tech web. It's a track for all thugs with a prep-school degree. First slam it in your face and then think about it later. Sami Koivikko doesn't fuck around with the remix long, shamelessly plunging the scenery into a rave-mood without loosing the bounce. Up next and once again there's the techno-punk T.Raumschmiere: his fuck-off fingers pound the 'enter' key', hitting the system with flatulent bass noises that burst into soundscape crackles, which he probably borrowed from label-mate Apparat ? 'bow down big man to get your credit'! In the end Raumschmiere and Rechenzentrum wrestle for the correct anti-posturing of slightly dubbed basslines coming from the adjacent hall along with absurd quotes out of the clothing chest. You're even getting cut-ups from a metal guitar! Think they're having fun with us? The CD contains six tracks that have been released on different 12"es before, plus two new tracks. It does not contain the remixes, which are only available on the 12" EP."

"Those of you who were drawn into the 'Boltzplatz EP' surely want to take part in this round, too. On 'Musick', bone-dry beats and neck-breaking, 'knarzing' sequences are placing the ball precisely under the bar. Berlin-based T. Raumschmiere aka Marco Haas demonstrates another time his immense floor-affinity. His first-class releases on the Sender label and his own label Shitkatapult, and last but not least his fat live gigs have made him the very king of new German shuffle-techno."

"Truly stellar new 12" from Marco Haas aka T. Raumschmiere, a release that will hopefully elevate this label in more peoples eyes (and ears) to the 'buy on sight' status. The first track 'Zartbitter' is a crushing mid-tempo groover with some awesome Eastern tinged strings oozing in and out of focus, and that sets the tone for the whole record. 'Bitterseuss' slouches along at a similar pace but this time it's the sound of your drunken neighbor passing out with a My Bloody Valentine record stuck in the runout groove. The whole thing is some sort of drone/techno hybrid, perhaps swimming in the same murky pool as Fred Bigot/Electronicat, evocative and brutal in turns. A no-brainer." -- Billy Kiely 4 tracks, 23 minutes.
