AGF_VD_amazon
( ;D --> On the second album from AGF/Delay - German sound artist and poet Antye Greie-Fuchs and her Finnish producer boyfriend, Vladislav Delay (Sasu Ripatti), better known for his work under the Luomo moniker - the pair have honed their aesthetic considerably. As Greie-Fuchs intones meditations on humanity, technology and society in an understated singspiel, Delay makes her emotions manifest in metallic, tolling chords, rumbling electronic storms and beats that sound like feet shuffling in powdery snow. Even though the pair exhibit a wilfully abstruse, clinical air, Symptoms is both hooky and tactile. It's even, at times, danceable (the demented jack-in-the-box rhythm of Generic.)

Following DVA’s break-up in the mid-80s, Dennis went on to collaborate again with DVA frontman Adi Newton on his T.A.G.C. project. In 1988, Clock DVA resumed activities again with a much harder-edged electronic sound for the album Buried Dreams, on which Dennis and Newton were again joined by Paul A. Browse.Browse left the group after Buried Dreams and was replaced by Robert Baker. Dennis departed Clock DVA after working on the stellar albums Digital Soundtracks and Man-Amplified in 1992. After DVA’s final break-up in 1994, Dennis embarked on his first solo journey with the project Sector. He released two albums for Atmosphere in the mid-90s, and then took a long hiatus before returning to the project in 2002 with the release The Yellow Room.In 2006, Dennis released the album Metropolis for his new project, called Nohno. Which brings us up to the present day in February 2009. Kibuka is Dennis’ new electronic project, and on it, he is joined by his friend Snook, who also did the excellent artwork for the beautiful digipak. Containing 16 tracks, Dystopia is a more beat-driven than Nohno, and is a dark, atmospheric fusion of electro and IDM with razor-sharp basslines and clean programming. It’s described as the soundtrack for conspiracy theorists and paranoiacs.)

Rice became widely known through his involvement in V. Vale's RE/Search Books. He is profiled in RE/Search #6/7: Industrial Culture Handbook and Pranks!. In Pranks, Rice described his experience in 1976 when he tried to give President Ford's wife, Betty Ford, a skinned sheep's head on a silver platter.In the mid-1980s Rice became close friends with Anton LaVey, founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan, and was made a Priest, then later a Magister in the Council of Nine of the Church. The two mutually admired much of the same music and shared a similar misanthropic outlook. Each had been inspired by Might is Right in fashioning various works: LaVey in his seminal Satanic Bible and Rice in several recordings. He also dated Anton LaVey's daughter Zeena LaVey in the 1980's.[citation needed] Rice's involvement with the Church of Satan largely diminished after LaVey's death in 1997.)

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.")

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". )

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.

Love Is Real
JM_amazon
( ;D --> John Maus' second album 'Love Is Real' is an apocalyptic journey through the nostalgic streets of our home towns deep into the recesses of the human heart. It is a map of self discovery, rejection and escapism captured across 14 songs of melancholic baroque pop music. Similar in style to his 2006 debut 'Songs', the album is a mixture of exploratory synthesiser theatrics, tensely-strung bass lines and insistent drum machine clicks and pops, all set off by John's deeply resonant reverb-drenched vocal.)

Crystal Castles does not in fact use a modified keyboard with an Atari 5200 sound chip as an oscillator, as it is frequently claimed. Their musical style has been described as having "ferocious, asphyxiating sheets of warped two-dimensional Gameboy glitches and bruising drum bombast pierce the skull with sheer shrill force, burrowing deep into the brain like a fever")

( ;D --> The band began with the self-published "Subsequent Pleasures" EP under the name Xymox, at that time consisting of Ronny Moorings on guitar and vocals, Anke Wolbert on bass, keyboards and vocals, and Pieter Nooten on keyboards and vocals. A chance meeting with Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance led to an invitation to support that band on a UK tour, and then a recording contract with their record label, 4AD Records.Their debut album, self-titled under their newly adopted name Clan of Xymox, was released by 4AD in 1985, and drew comparisons to Joy Division and The Cure. 1986 saw their second album, Medusa (considered by many fans to be their finest work), continuing in this dark vein.1987 saw the band provide a track for Lonely Is an Eyesore, a fascinating compilation album highlighting the diversity of talent on the 4AD roster. "Muscoviet Musquito", sandwiched between Dif Juz and Dead Can Dance, showed a more confident side to the band.The new album release by Clan of Xymox will be most likely in spring 2009, the full release date is not yet known, but a new song "Emily" was played during the last tour and it seems people pick up on it immediately.)

Described as "blip-hoppers" and "a shabbily dressed Kraftwerk," Holy Fuck's lo-fi electronic noise music is created entirely with old analog musical and non-musical instruments -- including a 35mm film synchronizer. Without the use of laptops and other conventional electronic instruments, the group strives to re-create their chaotic, Casio-driven live presence on their recorded output. The group released their eponymous debut album in 2005.)

In this time his production skills have improved immeasurably, resulting in the expertly studied rhythm and bass science of 'From The shadows'.)
