Flavor of the week #40

Rotersand
www.myspace.com/rotersand
( ;D --> Influenced by techno as well as rock, German electronic body music (EBM) group Rotersand established themselves as a powerful live act and also released new music on a regular basis. Formed in 2002 in Gelsenkirchen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rotersand are comprised of Gun (born Gunther Gerl), Rasc (Rascal Nikov), and Krischan (Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg).)
War On Error
R_amazon
( ;D --> German trio Rotersand has declared war on conformity and standardisation, the undermining of individualism and personality - the "error" in us. The new EP "War on Error" (out now) deals with these themes and offers a variety of tracks ranging from hard dancefloor fillers to a piano ballad. The CD is a digipak in 2 000 copies designed by Ingo Römling (In Strict Confidence, ASP, L'ame Immortelle).The new album "Random Is Resistance" will follow this fall.)

UnicaZürn
www.myspace.com/unicazurnofficial
( ;D --> UnicaZürn are: Stephen Thrower (Cyclobe; Coil) and David Knight (Arkkon; Shock Headed Peters; Danielle Dax; Lydia Lunch) Both are also members of the improvisation group The Amal Gamal Ensemble.UnicaZürn’s core musical instrumentation is processed electric guitar, clarinet and saxophone. Knight is renowned for his pulverising fretwork in Shock Headed Peters, and his cavernous guitar treatments in Arkkon; Thrower’s reed playing provided a distinctive ‘free-melancholy’ in Coil and emerges as electro-acoustic texture in Cyclobe. To this duophonic arrangement, UnicaZürn add copious analogue synthesizer, mellotron and piano, with influences echoing back through Tangerine Dream’s early albums to the VCS3 days of Roxy Music. UnicaZürn offer a deeply immersive music which hovers at the brink of abstraction, seeking to conjure at that threshold fantastical coastlines and subterranean narratives in the mind’s eye.)

Joakim

( ;D --> Milky Ways, the third LP proper from French producer Joakim is to be believed, the new album will be a total departure from the fuzzy disco of 2007's Monsters & Silly Songs. Inspiration is said to have been derived through extensive touring around the period of that last record, as Joakim and his group (formerly known as the Ectoplasmic Band) honed their skills on the road. The resulting album takes in moments of "psychedelia, old-school computer music, exotica, electro-pop, blues, new wave, New Pop, Krautrock.)

Nachtmahr
www.myspace.com/nachtmahrprojekt
www.nachtmahr.net
( ;D --> „I only have one interest: i don’t care if you live or die: I just wanna see you dance!“ This is the motto that made Thomas Rainer create his new musical project NACHTMAHR in 2007. After the Austrian artist has achieved worldwide chart breaking success with his other projects L’AME IMMORTELLE and SIECHTUM in the past 11 years, he returns to his roots: the boiling dancefloors of industrial and goth clubs alikeInspired by numerous years of Djing NACHTMAHR> is the missing link between merciless and provocative Industrial and the hammering power of Techno. The first release “Kunst ist Krieg (=art is war)” and it’s club hit “BoomBoomBoom” instantly conquer the dancefloors and earn the band a slot on the soundtrack of the American block-buster movie SAW 4.)
Alle Lust Will Ewigkeit
N_amazon
( ;D --> ‘Alle Lust will Ewigkeit’ leaves the stongest blow for the very end. ‘Murderer’ mesmerises us with disturbing, yet fascinating, samples. Nevertheless, the track later on becomes truly devastating. Devastating enough to crush all and any resistance there might still be in us. This was to be expected, as the albums title (‘All joy wants eternity’) clearly brings to mind the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. And it finally becomes cleat – Nachtmahr is not an attempt to bring back some shattered memories. It’s a particular state of mind, a warrior’s spirit, a apotheosis of sin, lust and rumbling beats.)

( ;D --> Moving from improvisational drones to experimental, danceable pop in just a few releases, Telepathe are the project of Busy Gangnes and Melissa Livaudais and a rotating cast of supporting musicians. Songwriter/percussionist/dancer Gangnes.)
