Beside electronic club music Claas Reimer always has been inspired by genres like Lounge, Dub, Downbeat, Funk, Electronica as well as artists like Alter Ego/Sensorama, Jean Michel Jarre, Thievery Corporation, LTJ Bukem, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Fat Freddys Drop, Massive Attack, Hardfloor/Dadamnphreaknoizephunk, just to name a few examples. Last but not least the german Krautrock band Flaming Bess (founded in 1969) which he has worked with for 3 albums, have deeply influenced his way of creating and feeling music. Travel Guide contains 12 tracks full of musical impressions more or less far away from his original roots – but as always also with a minimal approach as well.
