Never Trust The Way You Are

by centrozoon featuring tim bowness

supported by

Carsten Pieper centrozoon's core duo of Markus Reuter and Bernhard Wöstheinrich join forces with No-Man man Tim Bowness. Sounds very Sylvian/Frippesk to me! For a quick listening example probably skip into "bigger space" (around 6 minutes to the end)... Favorite track: bigger space.

Hardo The combination is interesting. Crimsonlike electronic stuff and the soft voice of tb within sounds full of melodies. Favorite track: bigger space.

Dr. Bernie Quiroga, PhD It took me a while to explore Markus Reuter's work with centrozoon, having long been an avid Stick Men fan. This was recommended to me as a starting point, and it is fascinatingly good. The overabundance of vocals (from Tim Bowness) does not really detract, although as usual with Markus, the strength is on the music and the ambience. Pop Killer, produced by the extraordinary Pat Mastelotto, is nothing less than a pop masterpiece. Favorite track: pop killer.

Frank Hadlich A sheer masterpiece deserving much more attention and airplay. Favorite track: carpet demon.

about

Recorded in Germany, Finland, Canada and the US over a three year period and featuring drum and mixing contributions from Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson), the album collects 15 pieces which for the first time capture perfectly the unique and unfettered musical chemistry of the Reuter, Woestheinrich, Bowness trio in a controlled studio environment.

A significant leap beyond last year's Scent Of Crash And Burn EP, Never Trust The Way You Are is a genre-defying fusion of Art Pop, Progressive, Electronica and ballad influences, boasting a potent combination of mellow moods, difficult beats, powerful melodies and ambitious musical experiments.

An ideal showcase for Reuter's Touch Guitar dexterity, Woestheinrich's impossible rhythms and Bowness' distinctive vocal style, Never Trust The Way You Are represents a compelling artistic highpoint for all involved.

about

Creating sound, to centrozoon, is an exploration of possibilities and extremes, a constant conscious confusion of contexts and evaluating the validity of what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’.

centrozoon currently consists of Markus Reuter, Bernhard Wöstheinrich and Tobias Reber. ... more

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
