Zoomer by Schneider TM May be the year's most surprising pure pop pleasure--precisely because it's nothing like you'd expect a pop album to be. THE WIRE #224, p.61

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. More
