Static Age Musik: Die Letzten Ecken – Talisman

Die Letzten Ecken - Talisman

I wonder what Die Letzten Ecken did during the past 2 1/2 years since their debut EP. Did they steal Jürgen Engler’s Stahlofon? Did they listen to Nitzer Ebb’s Basic Pain Procedure for the cold minimalistc EBM appeal? Did they ask Matthias Schuster how to combine this with the psychedelic electronica of the Berlin School like he did on Atemlos?

Probably none of that. Find out for yourself but do not forget your Talisman to listen to it on a stroll. There is much more to discover here than whether there are Seen Links or Schlösser Rechts.

Tonn Recordings: FOKKER – Persona

FOKKER - Persona

Fokker’s sound assimilates many of TONN’s much loved synth forms, minimal and cold, yet is always embedded with that sultry disko beat at its foundation. Or as Fokker puts it, “I always start minimal, but each time it ends up being maximal”. So here’s to all things maximal, to the narrative intelligence, dramatic synth lines and luxe beats of Fokker.

Ephemerol Night Terrors: More Ephemerol – Apotheosis Pageant

More Ephemerol - Apotheosis Pageant

Initially a solo vehicle for Chad Fjerstad’s experimental synthesizer compositions, More Ephemerol eventually took shape as a Los Angeles-based synth band primarily inspired by early 80′s synth-pop including minimal wave darlings such as Turquoise Days, Oppenheimer Analysis, and Experimental Products, and the beginnings of new wave through acts like OMD, Human League, and Fad Gadget, with just as much lifeblood in varieties of body music and synth punk.
