Released in 2014 via Bureau B, Automat’s self-titled debut is a masterclass in electronic and experimental soundscapes. Formed by a powerhouse trio of Berlin-based musicians—Jochen Arbeit (Einstürzende Neubauten), Achim Färber (Project Pitchfork), and Georg Zeitblom (Sovetskoe Foto)—this album weaves multi-textured rhythms and hypnotic percussion into a brilliant sonic narrative.
The record serves as a tribute to Berlin’s historical landscape, with tracks centered on the city's former airports: THF, SXF, TXL, and GWW. Throughout the album, the band welcomes legendary guest vocalists who seamlessly integrate their voices into the atmosphere:
- Lydia Lunch on "The Streets"
- Genesis Breyer P-Orridge on "Mount Tamalpais"
- Blixa Bargeld on "Schlachtensee"
Featuring a 9/10 critical reception, Automat is an intelligent, rhythmic journey that balances delicate minimalism with driving, industrial-tinged energy. It is an essential listen for the adventuresome music fan, offering a compelling blend of dub-dance grooves and experimental narratives.
