Das Rad - Adios Al Futuro

Das Rad - a trio of Nick Robinson, Martin Archer and Steve Dinsdale - is informed by progressive and Krautrock musics. This second collection continues that fast moving trajectory. Their first album was described as an extremely accessible, at times almost poppy collection of instrumental tracks, it's a skilful integration of jazzy muscularity, noodling electronica and invigorating surges of air-punching rock. Mostly they appear as concisely constructed bursts with a punk-like brevity that brings urgency and impact to scrunching guitar riffs and luminous shafts of Mellotron strings by prog commentator Sid Smith.
