BLN – “Moldern” Out Oct-07, Release Party Oct-11

Filed under: Album Reviews — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 8:00 am

bln_moldern_album_cover_2013Tracklist: “ILA” * “Care” * “Toy” * “Silk” * “Trip” * “Classic” * Prdss” * “Crystal” * “Naked” (feat. Luiza Zan) * “Gandurile” (vs. Monojacks) Remixes: “Care” (Plaid Inashed Remix) * “ILA” (Architect Remix) * “Toy” (Roel Funcken rmx) * “Silk” (r.roo Remix) * “Care” (Yvat Remix) * “Trip” (Erode Remix) * “Classic” (Dirk Geiger Remix) * “Naked” (Midimode Remix) * “ILA” (Basementgrr rmx) * “Care” (scrambled by Cycler on a rainy day) * “Trip” (Across the Bridge Mix by Talvekoidik) * “Prdss” (Reformed by Randomform) * “Care” (Core Dumped by Reform-1)

BLN previously on Viva Music sites: Brazda lui Novac in deschiderea concertului Covenant | Brazda lui Novac – “Dizzy”: Out Tomorrow |

Release date: Oct-07, 2013, via Bandcamp.com

Official launch event: Oct-11; 22:00hrs @Control Club, Bucharest, Romania | RSVP here.

About: Started in 1997 as a hobby, Brazda Lui Novac is now Romanian musician Victor Popescu’s fully blossomed electronic project. Having spent his childhood in a district called “Brazda Lui Novac” (translation: “the furrow of Novac”), Victor found it fitting to give the same name to what he creates musically, as adult now. Entailed in a genre fusion, Brazda Lui Novac’s sound stretches from melodic synth sounds to collages of IDM, industrial, electro and often encompassing subtle elements of shoegaze. In 2003, Victor opened Square Sound Studio, followed by Square Sound Records in 2009. This had a major influence on his livesets by shifting the digital feel of the music to a more physical one, including more hardware to the act. In 2011, Brazda lui Novac (currently BLN) released the album “Dizzy” with Raumklang Music.

BLN – “Moldern” – Viva Music Review: BLN’s “Moldern” comes as a revelation this fall, with sufficient warmth to keep us going through the coming cold. “ILA” is the opening piece of the two-disc album, serving both as an intro and a recipe for the entire album. It combines diversity and a common red thread that reads easily and makes a perfect soundtrack for the fall. The ensuing piece, “Care” is probably one of the best pieces of the album, and its eerie effect does not wear off even after several listens. “Toy” adds to the previous agenda-setting a little more boost, with its majestic arches and staccato flows over a cathedral-like anthem. With “Silk” and “Trip” the album gains in texture, and with “Classic” it marks a turning point int he album toward the nostalgic and the yearning. “Prdss” continues the series with a great melodic line, which would make the best soundtrack for the end credits of a new Bond movie. Up next, “Crystal” stands very well as a good competitor against “Care” for best track of the album. Of a special quality that matches in tone and hue the album, the Luiza Zan feature is a splendid example of what finely tuned vocals can do in finesse to the above trend, and you can notice her jazzy input for a track that is altogether brilliant. As for the last piece, “Gandurile” (Romanian: “The Thoughts”) is nothing less than we expected from a collaboration with the Monojacks. It bears their signature riffs, but blends in miraculously with the undercurrents of BLN’s music creating a topnotch track. The second disc of the album is a series of remixes for the first disc tracks, amplifying the voices in “Moldern”, ranging from Architect to Dirk Geiger remixes. An extensive listen, the second disc is a manifest for such collaboration, because of the wealth of musical ideas that can develop in collaborative music spaces. BLN’s “Moldern” is an album that is well worth many listens, and encapsulates enough musical material to sound different with every such listen. Highly recommended new addition to your album collection, enjoy!

Amphi Festival 2014 news!

Filed under: Amphi Festival,International Events,International Scene — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 6:25 pm

Dear friends and fans of electro/industrial/gothic music, Amphi Festival crew have already started the preparations for next year’s festival in Cologne, Germany! Here is the first batch of info. Enjoy and book your tickets! Amphi Festival is always sold out, so make sure that you take advantage of the early bird offers. See you next year!

X. AMPHI FESTIVAL 2014 – OPEN AIR

Dear Amphi Fans,

in August we already announced the first wave of artists for the 10th Amphi Festival anniversary on 26. & 27.07.2014 in Cologne. Now there is another selection of exceptional artists waiting to be unveiled. Actually our latest programme comes with 4 additional entries!

NEW ARTISTS ADDED TO THE LINE-UP

BLUTENGEL & THE MONUMENT ENSEMBLE
PROJECT PITCHFORK | JANUS | DIE KAMMER

In early 2013 we followed the release of „Monument“, the most sophisticated BLUTENGEL-album to-date, which peaked at an impressive 4th position of the German Media Control album-charts and received overwhelming praise from the fan-base and beyond. By the name BLUTENGEL & THE MONUMENT ENSEMBLE the band of mastermind Chris Pohl also embarks on a special tour this autumn to create a symbiosis between gothic and classic. Needless to say, we are very delighted to bring this mesmerizing experience exclusively to you, with BLUTENGEL´s only classic show on a festival in 2014. 

PROJECT PITCHFORK are back in „BLACK“ – more powerful and charismatic than before the electro-pioneers from Hamburg adorned their latest work with hymnic melody phrases and gripping sounds between club-compatible industrial influences and picturesque soundscapes. No matter whether in a club or on the big festival stage – PROJECT PITCHFORK always aim dead center, to pick you up from the get-go! Not to forget their impressive drum-performance with two, sometimes even three drummers at the same time.

For the first time since their famous “Winterreise” in 2005 the German cult-band JANUS will also return to stage again at the X. Amphi-Festival in Cologne. The upcoming re-release of their groundbreaking concept album “Schlafende Hunde” marks the occasion for two exclusive acoustic shows at the Theater am Tanzbrunnen, played over both festival days. Other appearances in 2014 by this uncompromising band around frontman RIG and sound wizard Toby are not planned. Actually it is an equally unexpected and rare opportunity for later-born and nostalgians to experience JANUS live. Those who witnessed the legendary “Winterreise” concerts in their full chamber music outfit know that goosebumps will be guaranteed!

Also confirmed for the Theater am Tanzbrunnen we present you DIE KAMMER at the Amphi Festival 2014. With DIE KAMMER the two long-term companions Matthias Ambré and Marcus Testory joined back together to wander on the musical path of the singer-/songwriter´s art. Melancholic, morbid, sometimes with a hint of sarcasm, sometimes with a charming twinkle in the eye, DIE KAMMER take their audience on a magic journey full of genuine emotions.

Moon.74’s “How I Feel” new video premiers on Darkwave.ro on Apr-22

Filed under: Album Reviews — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 9:00 am

moon74_howifeel_single_cover

Tracklist: “How I Feel (Radio Edit)” * “Endlose Träume” * “How I Feel (Frozen Plasma Remix)” * “How I Feel (Bitchy Remix by Ginger Snap5)” * “How I Feel (Rob Dust Remix)” * “Endlose Träume (Club Version by Rob Dust)” * “How I Feel (Syrian Remix)“

The song is written by Dominic Hein (MOON.74)| Music by MOON.74 and Rob Dust | Lyrics by MOON.74 | Produced, Mixed and Mastered by Rob Dust | Logos and Artworks by MOON.74 | The song “How I Feel (Radio Edit)” is taken from the limited Single Edition “How I Feel“. Worldwide available as MCD and via download. Published by INFACTED RECORDINGS ©2013. “How I Feel” will be also available on the upcoming studio album with the same title, “How I Feel”.

Previously on darkwave.ro: Moon.74 – “Newborn”: Viva Music Review 

About the single: MOON.74 is back to earth with the new Hit-Single “How I Feel” taken from the upcoming and album with the same title, to be released by Infacted Recordings. “How I Feel” is modern, catchy, brutally honest and better than ever before! So be careful, while “How I Feel” will take over the clubs and enter the charts! Take also attention to the B-Side with the De/Vision all time classic “Endlose Träume” in a absolute incredible brandnew version of MOON.74. Don’t miss the new video of “How I Feel” as well.

MOON.74 – “How I Feel” – New Video:

MOON.74 is back on earth! After the successful debut album “Newborn” and the following strictly limited edition remix album “Reborn“, now the second studio album called “How I Feel” by MOON.74 will be released soon. Much straighter, more emotional and also more personal than the first album. “How I Feel” satisfies from the first tune and leads you into the world of MOON.74. The album is completely written by Dominic Hein again and will be released by INFACTED RECORDINGS. In a very close collaboration with producer Rob Dust, who has worked in the past with artists such as De/Vision, Camouflage or Joachim Witt, a masterpiece of electronic music was born. “How I Feel” includes a lot of hit singles that have the potential to become classics of electronic music. Synthesizers of the 80s and 90s meet modern crunchy sounds and fat beats. Hymnal melodies and deep touching lyrics blend with the unmistakable charismatic voice of singer and songwriter Dominic Hein. The album also covered an enormous range and is absolutely unique! In the last years MOON.74 has been made a tremendous development and now with “How I Feel” at least gained a lot. So welcome back on Earth! Welcome to the Sound of MOON.74!

Moon.74 – Official Website | on Facebook | Discography on Discogs

Jean-Marc Lederman (Fad Gadget, The The, Gene Loves Jezebel, The Weathermen, Front 242, Ghost & Writer) about “How I Feel“:

“The latest song released by Dominic Hein (MOON.74) is a wonderful musical jigsaw that sums up and climaxes in a great chorus that’s not unlike Depeche Mode‘s best moments. They say that our brain expects its rewards when a chain of events pushes the expectations and, with this song, we’re very much at home, enjoying this cool tune. As it always happens with MOON.74, the music and the vocals intertwine and chase each other with inventive subtlety. A definite must-have.”

Jean-Marc Lederman introduces himself as “JML of Ghost & Writer“. After sharing his thoughts about the new MOON.74 new release with Darkwave.ro, he also stated:  “as it often happens with composers, we don’t like to speak much about other composers. All I have to say is: Bravo, Dominic, I just hope you don’t do many other perfect electropop songs like this one ;)”.

Jean-Marc Lederman‘s projects in review on Darkwave.ro:

La Femme Verte – “Small Distortions” review

Ghost & Writer – “Shipwrecks” review

Ghost & Writer – “Red Flags” review
