Nico - German Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Model and Actress - August 30, 2018

Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own,
Have someone else’s will as your own,
Have someone else’s will as your own,
You are beautiful and you are alone - Nico

("Afraid" from Desert Shore)

German Medieval Band Corvus Corax (the Common Raven) - August 26, 2018

'Corvus Corax is a German band known for playing medieval music using an abundance of authentic instruments.  Their name is the scientific name for the Common Raven.  The band was formed in 1989 by Castus Rabensang, Win (Venustus) and Meister Selbfried ("Master Selfpeace").  The band often uses bagpipes as the solo instrument, their live performances attract attention with bizarre look of the musicians being reminiscent of ancient Greek myths: half-naked, dressed in unusual clothes, wearing different ancient-like decorations, often tattooed. - Discogs'

EISENLAGER - 36. Futurologischer Congress on Attenuation Circuit- July 6, 2018

https://emerge.bandcamp.com/album/36-futurologischer-congress
https://emerge.bandcamp.com/track/vava-vol

Please welcome the latest release from Eisenlager, "36. Futurologischer Congress", hosted by the German net label Attenuation Circuit.  

Recorded by der schlachter at studio Glasklinge Zeitenlicht from 2016-2018, "36. Futurologischer Congress" is a 7-hour musical opus of the life and times of the German sound artist Eisenlager (aka Glasklinge Zeitenlicht).  This sound collage is broken out into 30 tracks and focuses on the most important and influential events he has experienced during his 50-odd years on earth.

Each track fits neatly with the other like a musical piece to this puzzle we know as Eisenlager. No easy feat putting music to memories on a grand scale like this, but keep in mind he is no ordinary man.

Unless you have worked with Eisenlager on his music projects or know him personally, the only clues to understanding his journey are the song titles and of course, the music.  This is a personal voyage into his public and sometimes privately emotional world manifested into the unique and distinct soundscapes only Eisenlager crafts. 

Especially poignant are Track 06, which pays hommage to his late friend Felix Flaucher of the 90s German electro band Silke Bischoff, and Track 25, which honors his late father who sadly passed away in October 2017.  

But you must listen for yourself in order to experience and appreciate "36. Futurologischer Congress" and the hidden treasures that lie deep within its music. 

Thank you Eisenlager for inviting me to be a part of this very special project.  It's always a pleasure working with you!
