From Kraftwerk to D.A.F. to the Salon-des-Amateurs clique, Düsseldorf’s musical heritage has grown to weigh a gigantic ton over the decades, but Sequence Of Events shoulder this burden with ease. On their debut album The Art Of Memory , Joshua Gottmanns and Deniz Ahmet Saridas, who are also Salon alumni, present themselves as sophisticated adepts of the post-industrial sound shaped by Kreidler and Co. with dub in the background and quite sharp edges, but they give the proven formulas a new spin. On eleven tracks, the two anarchic autodidacts combine chugging grooves with a punk attitude and sentimentality that occasionally drips into the gearbox.
