Remixed By Richard Fearless

Zero Set (BB 037CD/LP) was a milestone in latter-day Krautrock, created in 1983 by a hugely authoritative triumvirate of the German Avant-garde: Dieter Moebius, Conny Plank, and Mani Neumeier. Richard Fearless delivers two remixes of outstanding album opener Speed Display. On the A-side he grafts rhythmic patterns onto a four-to-the-floor beat and compelling bass signature. Feedback, echoing voices, a sprinkling of synth - only the most essential elements, none of which risks overloading the mix. On the B-side, he plucks just a few notes from the bassline and crafts a fine slice of hypnotic electro-dub with minor chord echoes.
