Tender Machines

Lush orchestrated electronic instrumentals, equally concerned with melodic arrangements and complex rhythmic drum breaks. With it's ensemble of strings, synthesizers, drum machines and drum kits, Tender Machines glides through sublime Kraftwerk-esque melodies, sinister grooves (a la Aphex Twin), and dreamy atmospherics (from the ambient krautrock of Cluster, to the 70's horror film soundtracks of Goblin). Concentrick is one Tim Green, producer at his own Louder One Studios in San Francisco, member of seminal DC punk band -- Nation of Ulysses, and current guitarist in The Fucking Champs.
