ABC (Kreidler album)

ABC is a studio album by the German electronic band Kreidler, released in 2012 on Bureau B. The album marks a return to Kreidler's more instrumental and abstract sound after their previous, more song-oriented albums.

The album's title, "ABC," is a simple and concise designation that reflects the band's approach to the music. It eschews overt themes or narratives, instead focusing on the interplay of minimalist electronic textures and rhythms. The tracks are often built around repetitive motifs and subtle variations, creating a hypnotic and immersive listening experience.

While generally considered an electronic album, ABC incorporates elements of krautrock, ambient music, and post-punk, blending these influences into a cohesive and distinctive sound. Critics noted the album's subtle complexity and its ability to evoke a sense of both spaciousness and intimacy.

Notable tracks on the album include "Pyran," "Kaskade," and "Rote Wüste." ABC received positive reviews upon its release, further solidifying Kreidler's reputation as a leading force in German electronic music.
