13. TrioTrio And Error

Sebastian Thomson: I can get into all sorts of technical and proggy music… I love Magma and Meshuggah… but this album appeals to my pop side. So simple it’s almost childlike, but yet so catchy and arty. I love the deadpan Teutonic delivery, the stripped down instrumentation, and the bittersweet feel. Every song is hooky, deceptively straightforward and yet performed with perfect intention. I especially love Trio’s appearances on live German TV in the early 80s. They are definitely worth a trip to YouTube. I can see similarities between their sense of humour and ours.
