I recently saw Ratatat support CSS at the Astoria in London. They’re a New York outfit consisting of Mike Stroud on guitar and Evan Mast on synthesizer. Their wall of atmospheric sound reminded me very much of the German synth pioneers Tangerine Dream, (with a bit of Iron Maiden for good measure) who I had seen play at the Astoria a few years previously. In fact that was the only other gig I’d been to at the Astoria. Therefore it's fitting that I dedicate this blog to an old and new form of atmospheric/electronic sound.
Ratatat - Montanita
Tangerine Dream - Cloudburst Flight (Great breakdown in this track)
