Controlled Bleeding

www.controlledbleeding.com
( ;D --> Controlled Bleeding's sound is confusingly varied from album to album and has contained elements of dub, free jazz, noise, prog, sacred music, dark ambient, classical and musique concrète. To their own detriment, the group has never cared much about generating or maintaining an audience, but just sort of does whatever inspires them in the moment. My personal all time controlled bleeding track is "Trang And I")

( ;D --> Dernière Volonté (Last Will, in English) is the name under which French musician Geoffroy D writes martial music, neoclassical music, dark ambient and military pop based on atmosphere, rhythm, and historical samples. Dernière Volonté is controversial for its considerable use of fascist imagery, style, and voice samples, and of themes from European fascism and the Second World war.)

Gloomy Songs For Lucid Minds
BP_Heathenharvest
( ;D --> This album is a dark trip through the subconcious,liquid forms of the human mind in a way that only the surrealists could really approach. Mixing the emotions of abundance and loss with childish memories full of colors, and neoclassical elements with abstracted ambience,contradicting experiments with atonic and rythmless waltz & polka tunes :).)

MK_amazon
( ;D --> "At age 22 Kittin began DJing, spinning records in France, Moscow and Chicago with Mike Dearborn. Soon after she met DJ Hell in Marseille who wanted her to record for his International DJ Gigolo label. She presented him with the EP Champagne that she recorded with The Hacker. Miss Kittin and the Hacker released First Album in 2001. Several tracks, such as "1982" and "Frank Sinatra", became anthems of the electroclash scene. She has become one of the most important figures in electroclash, working with not only The Hacker, but also Felix da Housecat, Chicks on Speed, and Golden Boy. In 2002, she released a techno music compilation under her own name (Miss Kittin on the Road). Her debut solo CD I Com has elements from different electronic styles and is more experimental than her previous records. Her other collaborations include Sven Vath, Steve Bug, and Ellen Allien (for remixes).")

Shade
( ;D --> "Shade is the studio album follow-up to Obsessive Surrealism (DiN26 - 2007) and is the fifth CD release by Parallel Worlds (the main musical project of Greek electronic musician Bakis Sirros). Parallel Worlds employ a vast arsenal of both vintage and modern analogue modular synthesisers with extensive use of classic sequencing techniques to produce a sonic world that combines modern electronica and ambient music styles with the feel of retro electronic music. His attention to detail is astonishing and his careful sculpting of sounds and textures produce an organic, ever evolving atmosphere full of half glimpsed meanings and subdued emotions. The purely electronic rhythms and beats seem to have a life of their own and showcase a musician who is a virtuoso with these types of instruments that are the antithesis of the quick fix pick-a-preset mind set of much of todays society. Musically he likes to explore various states of mind, no doubt influenced by his medical background and this adds a tension and darkness to his compositions that are punctuated by disarmingly simple and wistful melodies.) With Shade Parallel Worlds show a musical maturity and command of sonic atmospherics that takes the music on a journey, moving through dreams and shades, aiming for the light.")

( ;D --> “You could say that Mona Mur is representing German new wave. With a career that stretches back to the 80s, and a history of collaborations with artists as diverse as members of Einstürzende Neubauten, the Stranglers, and Yello, you could argue that Mona Mur, has positioned herself on the principal intersection of the new wave autobahn. Mur, also a successful martial artist and former German Vice Champion in Taekwon Do, is one of the few german singers creating her own dark, mysterious, aggressive but at the same time beautiful musical world exploring the fields of electronic industrial, wave, postpunk and a hefty german chanson "cabaret" tradition à la Brecht/Weill. In 1990 Mona Mur and Yello's Dieter Meier hired the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Polish rockstar/producer Grzegorz Ciechowski for the Album WARSAW. The concept album was unreleased at the time, but four of the songs were later covered by polish singer Katarzyna Groniec. Her album "Mesczysny" (SONY Poland 2000) entered the national charts, the Mona Mur song "Paintings" became a hit single selling more than 70,000 copies.Mona Mur also joined the Computer Games Industry as Lead Audio Artist and composer for software developer TERRATOLS, Potsdam-Babelsberg. Her unique style of eerie, haunting and phantastic electronic music and Sound FX can be found in Games such as "BALLANCE" (ATARI USA/Japan 2006, awarded "Seal of Excellence" in Adrenaline Vault) or VELVET ASSASSIN (Replaystudios/GAMECOCK MEDIA 2008). GamersHell called the music "Emotional Industrial" and previewed the ultradark neo-expressionist tracks as "pieces of relentless brutality and insidious beauty."Today, Mona Mur is also back to singing and performing. Her CD-compilation "Into Your Eye" (DARKDIMENSIONS), a retrospective collection of her more than 20 years of work, not only contains the typical 80s punk wave elements of her music and some of the orchestrated WARSAW-tracks but also new dark wave songs written and produced with Christian St. Claire. Together with former KMFDM founding member En Esch (www.myspace.com/enesch), Mona Mur have released a new collaboration under Mur's name entitled "120 Tage - The Fine Art of Beauty and Violence". )

Faust
www.myspace.com/faustpages
( ;D --> "There is no group more mythical than Faust." Thus wrote English musician and eccentric Julian Cope in his classic of the genre, Krautrocksampler. Which says it all really -- neither the habitus nor the music of the six-piece Hamburg group is easy to grasp. Formed in Hamburg in 1970, some lauded Faust as the best thing that ever happened to rock, others dismissed them as shameless dilettantes. Almost 40 years since they began, Faust are issuing a brand new studio album. Original members Jean-Hervé Peron and Werner "Zappi" Diermaier were joined in the Electric Avenue studio by Amaury Cambuzat (from the French post-rock combo Ulan Bator). Star indie producer Tobias Levin recorded. The results sound fantastic! Typically Dadaist lyrics (mostly in French) accompany repetitive, sporadically overflowing patterns. Faust's music combines seemingly contradictory .)
