The great English writer of ‘strange stories’, Robert Aickman, regarded intensity & a propensity for order as his most positive character traits, believing he’d inherited them from his German great-grandfather. Something of that German spirit’s found in the works of Dieter Rams and in those of his noted protégé, watch designer Dietrich Lubs, & also in this album.
Fans of Bauhaus - the architecture and design movement, rather than Peter Murphy’s portentous goth quartet - will find much to enjoy.
