A2 - “FOR SALE”
Label: Treue Um Treue
12-inch LP, black vinyl - 1 insert - lim. edition of 320 hand-numbered copies
After “Schwarz-Weiß” (Genetic Music, 2002) and “Retro?” (WRLC/Hausgebrauch, 2005), “For Sale” is the third full-length album by the one-man minimal-electro act A2. This long-awaited new opus takes the shape of an amazing collection of dance-floor orientated anthems, demonstrating better than ever the German project’s unique ability to capture the musical essence of the past decades. Reincarnating with humour the best moments of EBM (think DAF, LIAISONS DANGEREUSES and à;GRUMH), surfing with perplexing ease on the Third Wave initiated by LSE and PORN.DARSTELLER, making the synths twist and turn in best Flexi Pop fashion or letting them float à la KLAUS SCHULZE, “For Sale” takes us on a flashback trip through our favourite genres of minimal electronic music… all converging into a sound for which A2 alone knows the secret. A future classic!
