Collectively Jochen and Mark have created something that has its own identity. It’s built brick by brick, from the sounds that they shared with each other. They are both delighted that Re:Mission Entertainment has supported its release. It might be ten years late but so what?!

All sounds by Jochen Arbeit and Mark Spybey. Engineered and produced by Jochen and Mark, Berlin, DE and Northumberland, UK. Recorded 2011-2012. Mastered by Anatoly Grinberg, Mos- cow, RUS. Sleeve design by David Babbit, Chicago, IL.

"When time seemed to stand still and the streets were swept empty, all concerts were canceled, we sat down and started this project from scratch. Slowed down hard, Sonja has not made music for decades, we started from nothing and discovered a new world together. So come a little way with us and enjoy.."

Die Gruppe Automat - Jochen Arbeit (u.a. Einstürzende Neubauten, Die Haut), Achim Färber (Phillip Boa & The Voodooclub, Skip McDonald) und Georg Zeitblom (wittmann/zeitblom) - funktioniert wie eine gut geölte Maschine: Sie surrt, sie schnurrt, sie geht unbeirrt ihres Weges. Gemeinsam mit dem Modular-Magier Max Loderbauer sowie Paul St. Hilaire alias Tikiman, Lydia Lunch und Mika Bajinski am Mikrofon präsentieren sie nun mit »Modul« auf Compost Records ihr abwechslungsreichstes und konzeptionell stimmigstes Album.

From Detroit techno and hip-hop's early sampling experiments to Terre Thaemlitz, electronic music has long proven its political potential, even in instrumental form. With "OstWest", Berlin-based electronic-kraut-dub trio Automat complete their LP trilogy with a deep and entrancing take on the failures of neoliberalism.
