Nicht aus der Harsh Electro-Ecke, aber dennoch sehr, sehr empfehlenswert erscheint eine Neo-Old School/Dark Electro-Compilation aus dem Hause Electro Aggression Records. Dabei handelt es sich um ein kleines Ein-Mann-Indielabel aus den Staaten, das sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, wirklich authentische Düster-Elektronik und komplexen EBM an die Leute zu bringen.

Nader, der Betreiber des Labels, träumte bereits seit Jahren davon, eine wahrlich beeindruckende Compilation zusammenzustellen und zu veröffentlichen. Mit viel Herzblut und getrieben von seiner Begeisterung für alternative, elektronische Musik der alten Schule hatte er es im Dezember 2009 geschafft: dank der Kooperationen mit verschiedensten Bands ist die "Old School Electrology…

Don't want to overflow my profile to the left, so it's time for a new journal :]

Therefore in the following - arranged in alphabetical order - my favourite CDs of the current year until today (status quo: 16th May '07) garnished with my personal opinion. So please, no cursing but of course opinions are allowed ;]

Top-CDs 2007:

• Asp:
  "Requiembryo"
  
  Very good sequel of the "der schwarze Schmetterling"- series. But I have to depreciate due to repititions of parts and songs of past sequels.

I have to clear up my profile on the left for upcoming Top-CDs in the new year, so here are my favs of 2006 :) There have been many great CDs last year divided in albums, EPs & singles and compilations. I tried to limit the best ones to a top 3.
Many well-known bands but also a lot of newcomers were releasing stuff during last year, the most in the following lists is out of the dark electro-genre. Here innovations have been kind of rare and a lot of groundsolid material was produced. But there were some positive exeptions…

Yaaaaayyyyy!!! Let's celebrate! Please help yourself at the minibar ;)

Yes, one year on this awesome website - that's a lot of music.. in numbers: approximately 31,000 tracks scrobbled. Regarding my arisen profile since 9th October of last year there had been a lot of different alternative and dark music stuff going through my head. Starting with some gothic rock, gothic metal and alternative rock, proceeding with darkwave, synthpop and futurepop up to the dark electro-genre including (mainly the harsh) ebm and industrial.

One year ago my favourite band clearly was Janus. Nowadays it's…

This little game-thing I just discovered while browsing in the vastness of last.fm and its user's journals.
Let's take the Top10-artists and remember of the first song heard once several days, months, years… ago, the song we fell in love with and the current favorite song…

01 Mantus
First song: "Herr der Welt"
Fell in Love: "Das Einzige was zählt" …
Current Favorite: I think "Die Letzten der Welt"

02 Janus
First Song: pooh… I guess "Isaac"
Fell in Love: "Die Ruhe selbst"
Current Favorite: hm.. "Der Mörder in mir"

03 The Crüxshadows
First Song: "Winter born (this sacrifice)"
Fell…
