Das Rad
Das Rad is an English group from the Sheffield area built around guitarist Nick Robinson, woodwind and keyboard player Martin Archer and drummer Steve Dinsdale. The band plays largely improvised instrumental music that mixes krautrock, jazz and electronics, often in long pieces. Its records come out on Discus Music, the label Archer runs. Das Rad released Adios Al Futuro on Discus in 2020, an album in which three long tracks alternate with shorter ones, packaged with altered portraits of world leaders. Laik Tors followed in 2021.

Play this thing over and over because one solitary spin won’t come close to doing it justice—you can go down this disc’s labyrinth of ingenuity for years and hardly ever come up for breath." - Darren Bergstein
