Best TLeer record is "The Bridge" w/ Bob Rental. Side 2 anyway. Nice fridges.
The first side is ruined by the vocals. This applies to all other TLeer records
Just got Contradictions here and this is possibly the wrongest thing ever said by anyone. "Letter From America," "Hear What I Say," "Mr Nobody"... god damn is this brilliant stuff.

yup. Not to mention, especially on Hear What I Say, the best synth-horn playing this side of Heaven 17.

ok so finally got the chance to check out a singles collection, contradictions, and his album with robert rental... it's all so damn good. this thread should really be about 5 times this size.
he's such a perfect bridge between colder, more nihilistic type synth-wave and the artier, ultraproduced 80s pop stuff discussed in the 'sounds like late period roxy music' thread. eating this stuff up atm

Listening now to From Sci-Fi to Barfly -- which is closer in spirit to his popper stuff, and has vocals. I'm kind of enjoying this.

Scale Of Ten is amazing. there are too many songs on it and all sounds a bit rushed, also dated but amazing all the same.
