Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 13 ratings
  • Repetitive in the extreme

    If you like electronica and its various offshoots, I suppose you'll like this blog. If you want a taste of other varieties of German popular music from rock to punk to reggae and many others, you'll need to look elsewhere. I've been listening for a few months now in the hopes of hearing a wider range of styles, but I'm growing tired of the endless synthesizer loops.
