Schneider TM SCHNEIDER TM is a one-man project out of nowhere, Germany. Coming from a Germanic background, this man and his music are not a million miles away from the bleeps-and-bloops-happiness of his fellow countrymen Mouse on Mars. What makes Schneider’s record so special is that he doesn’t just stop at the bleeps and bloops, he dives headfirst into rattles, snaps, crackles and also occasional stumbles straight into not so straight pop. His music is directly and indirectly inspired by Velvet Underground, TV's Magum, cheap champagne, drumming in a rock band for several years and living in the countryside. In fact, this is what happens when you become so obsessed with sounds that you can’t sleep because you’re so intrigued by the different tonal qualities of every drop of rain on the window and every squeak the bedsprings make. This is what happens when instead of going to sleep you sit up until dawn with only a cheap bottle of champagne and a home recording studio for company.
