BUY THE RECORD | LISTEN TO THE RECORD

Where do you start looking for identity? The name? T/M/K releases as „Textbook of Modern Karate“, formerly known as „Thee Maldoror Kollektive“, and we are pretty sure that this is part of a strategy to cover the tracks.
This record is what comes nearest to an identity. An album that is so rich in music style, overwhelming in quality and thick in sound layers that it leaves you speechless and stunned for which grotesque world unfolds in front of your inner eye.

„Need the Needle” is the meltdown of T/M/Ks track record. And if you really are trying to figure out an identity for this lively collective of musicians, then maybe it is: „Need The Needle“: Sampling, Jazz, Kabarett, Blues, Electronics, Metal, Occultism, Wisdom, Weirdness.
A trip. A circus.

"...dass die Musik sich dabei ins Unterbewusstsein schleicht und dort wirkt wie ein Attentat: Verstörend, aufrührend, bedrohlich und einen völlig aus seinen Gewohnheiten reißend."
