Making an inner city back street of purloin, apocalyptic trip-hop their home, Germany's Terranova could arguably have started back in the '80s, the instant initiation member Fetisch heard the impenetrable beatniks of American hip-hop swagger through his fatherland. An divine move to New York City happened curtly thereafter, leading Fetisch to numerous DJ appearances and an early chemical bond with the Stereo MC's, just it was only when he returned rest home and met up with Marco Meister (classically-trained pianist) and Kaos (graffito artist) to finally release a handful of 12" under the professional wrestling-friendly moniker of Turntable Terranova that the production iII was rightfully natural. The group's anti-provincial beat experiment agilely entered dance culture with their lasting, much-respected DJ Kicks installment, released in 1998 (the band today assumptive the shorter Terranova tag) while endless comparisons to Kruder & Dorfmeister or Tricky were lavished about. What truly seemed to sign Terranova as a unequaled musical rhythm in trip-hop, however, was 1999's Close the Door, a surprisingly original debut full-length put out by Copasetik Recordings with collaborations by Einstürzende Neubauten's Alexander Hacke, San Francisco's Rasco, and -- approach full forget me drug -- Cath Coffey of the Stereo MC's. In 2002, the Berlin trio emerged with the eclectic Hitchhiking Non-Stop with No Particular Destination.
