Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Voom Voom is a side project of Peter Kruder (of the Viennese remix/production duo Kruder & Dorfmeister) pairing the chill-out wizard with synthesists Christian Prommer and Roland Appel, of Truby Trio and Fauna Flash. The 11 tracks display Kruder's usual discreet charm, up to a point. "Baby3", the opener, is typical, with the gentle stutter of high-hats, clunk of woodblock, occasional throb of synthesiser and well-chosen piano phrases building to an understated but infectious groove, before being spoilt by the intervention of a vocoder voice urging us to "shake it baby", as if doubtful that the music can move us without words. Which, in its sleek, assured manner, it can. "Roger" is similarly smooth, its loping electro-funk groove strolling between shimmers of string-synth tones. "Bounce" is much punchier, a buzzing techno-stomp in the vein of Daft Punk. "Sao Verought" bridges the styles, with rasping electro-farts set against a translucent string pad. More intriguing are the acid-house squelches of "Keep the Drums Out" and the cool groove of "Best Friend", where electric piano accompanies a series of vocal squawks.
