»spare parts« is the long awaited new album from the sonic laboratory of austria-based "psycho-physio" musican pomassl and the latest example of his interest in deconstructing musical structure and testing the limits of hearing. the most anomalous track »qaraghandy storm« closes the album with a far off electrical desert storm.
still retaining his distinctive style, this record shows much more maturely arranged elements and carefully structured sections compared to his earlier output and features a dabbling and blurring experimental and advanced pop. it is pomasslÂ’'s full-lenght debut for the german imprint raster-noton after several collaboration contributions for the label.

»spare parts« was pre-presented successfully live throughout the raster-noton japan tour in october 2007.
