awrc Right now something so positive and forward-looking in content, yet provoking such a delightfully nostalgic musical vibe as this album is very welcome. Makes me yearn for the stability and certainty of the Cold War. Favorite track: living on the moon.

about

PLEASURE UNDER PRESSURE is a timeless and sophisticated THE RORSCHACH GARDEN album. its analog sound is not overly retro, but rather deeply melancholic yet resiliently positive. determined but never aggressive, it's charming electronic pop with a distinct '80s electro-wave influence that defies easy categorization.

THE RORSCHACH GARDEN was founded by philipp münch as a solo project in 1988. initially, the project made its mark in the underground tape scene. in the beginning, münch experimented with synthesizers, creating a sound that blended elements of ambient, industrial, and avant-garde music. this first phase of trg ended in 1996 due to his involvement in other musical projects. in 2001, TRG returned with a new musical direction, leaning towards synth-pop and minimal-electro. this revival began with the release of the first 7" vinyl on the bazooka joe label. surprisingly, the song 'state protection' became a club hit and a cult favorite among minimal-electro enthusiasts.
