Review of A to B

This is not, as suggested by listal, an album by the italian singer Mina, but from a group from Berlin, Germany, ca. 1997-2002. Band members were Christoph Hein, Hannes Lehmann, Masha Qrella, Norman Nitzsche. Mastered partially by Stefan Betke of Pole(awesome miniaml/ambient electronica) and mixed and recorded by people also associated with the german bands Tocotronic and Kante among others.
The music is, except for one song, purely instrumental electronic rock with allures to synthie pop. It reminds me at times of instrumental early Stereolab pieces with cathartic punk rock attitudes, dreamy melodies and a repetitive but downbeat flow. Other artists that come to mind are Ms.John Soda, Trans Am, Tortoise, Lali Puna and Miss Kittin. For me stylistically it belongs to a creative stream of innovation and experimentation of the late 90's that kind of ebbed down around 2001 and changed into something else.
A to B is definitely one of the records I would take to an island and IMO one of the best albums of the late 90's/early 2000's.
