Album Notes & Community Reviews

Can founder Irmin Schmidt joins forces with Swiss electronic pioneer Bruno Spoerri for a deeply eclectic, synthesizer-driven voyage. 'Toy Planet' eschews standard rock dynamics, instead layering complex tape loops, early sampling techniques, and playful analog textures to craft a visionary slice of ambient krautrock.
