Curiosum kicks off with "Oh Odessa," which harks back to the playful sounds of Zuckerzeit but it does not repeat what Cluser have already done on that album. "Oh Odessa" instead sounds like the theme tune to a children's TV show about science: that mix of wonder and joy that gets lost as we grow older captured forever in synthesiser.

The trembling menace and queasy electronic pulses create feelings of paranoia and unease, squelching and whirring background sounds filling out the atmosphere brilliantly
