Aquavoice is the musical project of Polish synthesist Tadeusz Luczejko, who found its niche within the label Generator.pl; an interesting label of EM from Poland which is plentiful of very fascinating artists. Seventh album from Tadeusz Luczejko, Cold is a disconcerting abstract and ambient symphony, of which the syncretism of tones adds a surreal dimension in a sound collage stem from all the facets of equipments and imagination of Luczejko, creating an amazing abstract journey in a musical universe as ambient as a storm of wind on a crystalline plain. Cold I to III open this anarchic symbios ..read more

1- The Year 2009 marks the return of Bernd Kistenmacher on the scene of EM, with the release of your 16th opus; Celestial Movements as well as some concerts in France and Germany. Can we say that Bernd Kistenmacher is really gone out of its den? If yes, what we may expect for 2010 B.K.: All those years I was never completely “away” from music, but after many years of work in my studio, I started in 2009 with the return on stage. This concert in Paris was initiated by the French association “Cosmiccagibi”. At the same time the German label “MellowJet Records” released my first solo-album “Celes ..read more

It’s not with a concert of EM, even with the Master Schulze, that I will attract people in my living room, even if drinks will be free and flow massively. And it’s understandable! See Schulze in concert is like watching a tall man of a certain age toying with its PC and multiple keyboards. Remark that whoever might be; Schulze or Vangelis, results would be the same. And this, even if the music is sublime! When one attends a concert, one likes that when that moves. One likes that to feel life and the communication between artists on stage. Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream understood it an ..read more

There are people who think that the artistic union Schulze/Gerrard made its time and that our friend Klaus should pass to another thing. I’m divided about this opinion. Certainly I miss these long Schulzian synth wanderings where Schulze thwarted previsions by throwing an album which tricked the time bringing us way ahead beyond. On the other hand, I believe that there are still beautiful things to come out from this duet whose duels and harmonies transcend what Schulze can let us imagine with its chimerical choruses. If Lisa Gerrard had quiet down the Master on Farscape and Rheingold, Schulze ..read more

Here’s what I could call the first EM album ever. Even if Alpha Centauri is much more ambient than sequenced, it’s the very first EM album to shows moves and moods, not only noise on noises or experimental abstract music. An album made in the late 60’s and early 70’s Alpha Centauri influenced the world of rock music and changed the way artists imagined prog music and later, world music and techno. After the experimental Electronic Meditation, Tangerine Dream is amputated of 2 members; Schnitzler and Schulze. Edgar Froese won’t change his mind and wants to pursue his exploration of sounds and ..read more

Written and recorded as the very first days of Tangerine Dream formation, Electronic Meditation is everything except an EM album. In fact we could qualify it as the first electronic punk album which was, at the start, a pure jam-session in a disused factory in Berlin in the autumn of 69. Smelling the probability of a German Pink Floyd band, Ohr’s management made it the very first Tangerine Dream album. A sonorous bric-à-brac sprawls in a psychedelic tumult with stunning melodious passages. Deviating organ on percussions as random as celestial, Schnitzer’s cello bites in the very ambient overtu ..read more

Another musical project from Generator.pl label, Brunette Models is the alter ego of Peter Krzyzanowski, a sound sculptor from Torun in Poland. Sound sculptor because the music of Last Poem is an interrupted suite of sound samplers over sound effects, molding an odd architecture of sounds where the fusion of ambient and abstract gives birth to some rhythms lost here and there, giving a relief more than particular to an album that plays as much as the wear of time as the effect of contemporaneity. After a short introduction where an oscillatory wave opens Brunette Models 5th opus, Call Him Dr ..read more

One of Indra’s strength is diversity. The Rumanian synthesist isn’t afraid of evolving in his artistic mode. From retro Berlin School with deep ambient moods while passing by New Berlin School, his opuses are as much astounding as puzzling at first earings. And there is always a little something that pushes us to listen to these again and again. Signs is full with these small some things. A colossal CD that astonishes by the plurality of its kinds! All in echo Atlas on Stage fascinates us with its fine sequential line, its suave beat and its percussions filled of analog flavors. Synth keys are ..read more

Indra’s strength is to amaze, from one album to another. After the stormy and boiling The Challenge, I would have expected Indra to returns in a good Berlin School opus, just to ease some startled fans. Well, I’m totally wrong, because Generation is in the same mould as The Challenge. A bit less progressive, but as much percussive! YeahYeah... throws a female voice, on a pulsating beat formed from the synchronized duet of sequencer/synthesizer. Sound effects imitate nervous percussions colliding, before a more rolling percussion adds a real drum touch with a hammering drum. The beat then becom ..read more

If we had interrogations concerning the fact that who was the dominant figure of the artistic new approach of the Dream in the 90’s, this Timesquare-Dream Mixes II gives us the answer. According to the history of the Dream, Jerome Froese spent the summer of 97 to concoct this album which was planed to be a suite of The Dream Mixes issued 2 years earlier. But Jerome rather composed and released an album of Tangerine Dream, with only two remixes; Mobocaster and Towards the Evening Star. And all what’s left? Well, 5 impetuous tracks which explode on rhythms in constant permutations and which expl ..read more
