General Magic – Nein Aber Ja (Cassette)

General Magic, the long-standing duo of Andi Pieper and Ramon Bauer, return with their first full length album since 2000’s “Rechenkönig” [MEGO 032]. “Nein Aber Ja” presents a bold collection of unbiased audiophonic adventures through past, present and future electronic musics.

Having spent the majority of the last two decades in hibernation, General Magic made a triumphant return in 2022 with the weird and wonderful “Softbop” EP for Generate and Test. “Livebop” and “GMTF Sessions 1-4”swiftly followed, both showcasing audio-visual explorations carried out with Tina Frank. “Nein Aber Ja” delivers General Magic’s next surreal sonic manoeuvre – a nine-tracker that points to psychedelic techno, ferocious rhythms, Kraut-esque space-rock and experimental electronic music.

“Nein Aber Ja” once again proves that General Magic set the benchmark in the playful deconstruction of electronic music, setting the pace since 1995 – what else would one expect from such steadfast proponents of the Third Viennese School? Their latest slice of post-futurist innovation will be unleashed on 30th November 2023 through GOTO Records – good music for good people.

Written and produced by General Magic (Andi Pieper & Ramon Bauer), 2022/2023.
