Pyrolator is the current moniker under which Kurt Dahlke records his solo output. His CV is seriously impressive. I'm not just talking about the fact he's been credited on over 300 releases or the fact that as a co-founder of the Ata Tak label he's been at least partially responsible for the release of in excess of 150 releases since 1979: he's been a member of numerous bands, perhaps most significantly the super-seminal DAF.
They may have been progenitors of industrial dance music (although the classic 'Der Mussolini' was subsequent to Dahlke's departure), but 'Neuland' has none of the abrasion or dynamics that made DAF distinctive. In fact, it's a rather unremarkable album on the whole. Apart from the bursts of expansive noise and driving rhythms that punctuate 'Vostok', there's little to separate 'Neuland' from an infinite number of other dance albums that favour broad washes of synthesizer sound over softly pulsating electronic beats. Disappointingly average. Meh.
