German instrumental combo
Bohren & der Club of Gore
(keyboardist Morten Gass, guitarist Reiner Henseleit, double bassist Robin Rodenberg, drummer Thorsten Benning)
penned the modest ambience of Gore Motel (1994) sounding like a more
lively and less geometric version of the Necks.
That idea transcended its original scope on the double-disc Midnight Radio (1995), whose pieces were rendered hypnotic, subdued, slow, stark and evocative by super-heavy bass notes and catatonic drumming.
In other words, the music that used to be driven by guitar and piano was now
driven by the rhythm section but in a negative way, by downplaying and limiting it rather than by propelling and emphasizing it.
After a long hiatus, the quartet returned in a jazzier configuration
(having replaced Henseleit with saxophonist Christoph Cloeser) that crafted
the ambient noir jazz of
Sunset Mission (2000)
and Black Earth (2002).
In attempt to escape the limitations of their format,
Geisterfaust (2005) toyed with vibraphone, tuba and a choir, while
Dolores (2008) generally veered towards thicker arrangements.
