NITZER EBB - Body Rework Remixes

Nitzer Ebb are well-known for marking the beginning of EBM (electronic body music) in the early 80’s. They split up in 1995 but have recently reunited and now a one-off special tour this year is certain. Enough reason for a ‘Best Of’ album and this remix sessions album with contributing artists...

K. LEIMER - Statistical Truth

Statistical Truth appears to consist mainly of one soundscape that flows like a gentle stream and only varies in depth and density. Within it Kerry Leimer animates organic sounds that seem to have their own life. In the beginning and just before the end sudden staccato percussive elements surpr...

Sasse - MADE WITHIN THE UPPER STAIRS OF HEAVEN

Yes, Sasse shows his musical roots starting from disco and italo, to a bit Chicago or maybe Detroit. And yes, he knows how to arrange and so on. But there is too much of that italo disco sound, without really bringing in something fresh. Too much of that Moroder touch, too little the suspense,...
