Roberts new album blistering with new sounds and sequences with an occasional soft beat and groove that are in the background with great deep far strings and choir sounds and distinct Berlin School Sequences.

Robert Schroeder will never stop innovating so much as amaze us! With a title as playful as Ferro OXID, the sound designer and architect of improbable rhythms comes back strongly for a 28th lap where his musical researches, in all forms confused, since Harmonic Ascendant reign supreme on this bewildering new opus which will amaze more than one. From his romantic incursions in the ambient universes to the rhythms slowly worn by groovy and lounge approaches, Robert Schroeder proposes more than 70 minutes of a lively and innovative EM where the antipodes of the Berlin School movements are kissing in structures that Schroeder pushes always and even more farther.
The first portion (Ferro OXID and Nature Processed) of this last Robert Schroeder’s album is the one which surfs the most on the roots of Berlin School. Roots which soak unmistakably into a more contemporary sound but of which the structures always remain so antique. The title-track spreads its cloud of electric mist and its breaths of nuclear angels in an intro where the fragmented harmonies cry in the ringings and percussions eaten away by the iron oxide. These choirs and mists are eventually forging hoops, of which the hesitating shadows float as spectres lost in an apocalyptic atmosphere. Riffs are starting to stirs frantically, taking in their wriggling these hoops which become the harmonious elements of a circular rhythm finely hatched that percussions are striking and harpooning of a heavier and livelier approach. The harmonies of the MiniMoog are blowing such as ghostly lassoes on a structure weighed down by percussions slamming as the whips of the dances techno from the one-legged folks. And the first sequencer keys arrive, plunging Ferro OXID” in a delicious mishmash rhythmic with sequences
