The third album by Kreidler's drummer Thomas Klein. A homebuilt, electronically manipulated table percussion ensemble, consisting of utilitarian objects such as a tin can or a wooden board, opened the sonic palette to previously unheard and weightless grooves. This percussive spectrum spreads a rhythmic gravity that remains accessible despite its experimental basis. Solyst is ultimately a project that revolves around a hypnotic rhythmic element. 'The Steam Age' uses an intoxicatingly atmospheric overall picture to create this hypnosis.
