Sankt Otten/majeure
Split
The Blade Runner Soundtrack from Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze, Brian Eno? Theres no doubt about the fact that both artists who take part in this collaboration record are influenced by that kind of sound. MAJEURE - the solo project of ZOMBIs drummer A.E. Paterra - has already received a lot of attention via the 2009 debut release TIMESPAN (Temporary Residence Records) and a remix album released in 2010. "Timespan delivers inspiring sci-fi disco of the highest caliber. Anchored by Paterra's sturdy, propulsive live drums, each song uses layers of analogue synthesizers to masterfully craft extended compositions that virtually stop time before speeding it up, culminating in countless moments of genuine majesty." The German duo SANKT OTTEN works together since 1999. They have released 4 albums and several eps + singles so far. They have firstly gained a wider attention in Germany with their debut "EINE KLEINE TRAURIGKEIT" released 1999 via the back in the days very well known label ELEGANZ - the press loved it. In the following years, they did two more albums and several smaller releases via different labels. In 2009 they joined DENOVALI RECORDS to release the 4th full length "MORGEN WIEDER LUSTIG" which firstly created an international interest in their soundscapes. Their musical spectrum has evolved once again, while retaining the undeniable hallmarks: atmosphere, melodic dexterity and depth. "MORGEN WIEDER LUSTIG" is the holy alliance with the virtual sound surface. Menacing but not mean. The silence before the storm and the silence afterwards.
