Teimo is the second solo album from German Ambient music producer, Thomas Köner. German musician has fully developed his unique drone style here and despite the fact that tracks are rather short for ambient music, they really show it off. It's also the record which made Köner known in electronic scene and together with next album, "Permaforst" (which were later re-issued in 1996 on one disc by Mille Plateaux - Teimo & Permafrost) is considered by many critics and fans as his best work.

Andenes is a place in Norway.

"Nieve" means "snow" in Spanish.

Penitentes are some kind of snow formation, found only at high altitudes.

"Schluss" means "closure, conclusion" in German.

Although it's probably not the meaning to which Köner refers to, "ruska" means "Russian" in Polish.
