CD

The polarizing singer-songwriter from Ritterhude sums things up musically and lyrically! He doesn't allow himself to be directed either stylistically or in terms of content. On the contrary, they don't mince words and things are called by their proper names in an ironic and humorous way.
Marno Howald has already been on stage with Konstantin Wecker and is an unusual musician who sketches his songs with his individual, authentic and sometimes sarcastic handwriting. It's not like he can be tied down to one genre musically, that would only hamper his creativity. Nevertheless, you can feel his own style in how he writes his lyrics and what topics he takes up. Sometimes with a smile in the corner of your mouth, sometimes with melancholy but also with the unembellished truth. Whether alone on stage or accompanied by his musicians, he is ironic, cheeky, questioning, answering, loving and suffering, autobiographical and romantic. Definitely surprising! You never know if the joke is breathing down your neck or if a social topic is being outlined.
The Wahl Ritterhuder has already published an album "Ganz ohne Kritik" as well as a book of songs and poems in the past and is now about to release his second album, "Gegen den Wind". This album was recorded in 2020 at Hörwerk Tonstudio Bookholzberg and Marno Howald was accompanied musically by Regina Mudrich (violin) and Steffen Gust (guitar and bass). This was a particular challenge because Corona made it impossible to stick to the planned release, which was scheduled for September last year.

A massive NZD 5,- of every CD sold will go towards saving our planet. The money will be used to support projects that save our oceans and/or combat climate change. So, by buying Gjazz5, you are helping organisations such as “Avaaz” who need funds to turn a threatened slice of paradise, a large sea area off the west coast of Arica, into a beautiful marine sanctuary. If this doesn’t happen, this (one of the last remaining) nature strongholds on this earth will likely be destroyed by commercial fishing, like so many other places have been destroyed. Or “Carbon Click”, an Auckland company who specializes in carbon footprint offset. Olivier will post updates and donation receipts regularly on his website olivierholland.com, so you know where your support is going.

For the album “Gjazz5”, German / NZ bassist, composer and educator Olivier Holland has lined up a (literally) once-in-a-lifetime-band of his all-time-favourite musicians Geoffrey Keezer (US), Terreon Gully (US), Denis Gaebel (GER), Roger Manins (NZ) as well as special guest Joscho Stephan (GER). If you aren’t familiar with any of these names, google and get familiar! Just saying that Gully and Keezer share 4 Grammy nominations between them, the latter having turned down Miles Davis’ offer to play in his band, Gaebel being one of Europe’s leading tenor sax players, Manins the same in Australasia.
The long anticipated Gjazz5 album launch represents a colossal milestone. Looking back onto his 30 CD albums (as collaborator and initiator) strong discography, Oli calls Gjazz5 his “flagship” project. 3 years in the making, multiple trips to Europe to record and mix the tracks, mastering, etcetc, Oli has not spared any efforts to make this one “count”. The recording took place at the prestigious Fattoria Musica studios in Germany. 12 of Oli’s tunes were tracked as well as Terreon Gully’s composition “Tanktified”, mixed at Fattoria, then mastered in LA by Grammy Award winning mastering engineer Kelly Hibbert.
The result: 13 tracks with an amazing sound, each one unique in itself: There is funk, afro-style, HipHop, disco, salsa, odd time signatures, ballads, and much more. A dazzling mix of genres, infused with jazz, that simply need to be “checked out”!

The debut album Wegkompanter was created over several years and every single title is a small masterpiece. So sit back and enjoy every single second. Let yourself be enchanted by the lyrics and the melodies.
Dirk Büdeker's music is German pop music, which is authentic and often very emotional. But there are also profound songs that make you think. That is what distinguishes this artist. The music speaks straight from the soul. A true firework of emotions just waiting to be started.
This album will be a faithful companion. Have fun on this journey.

As a drummer, Christian Nowak has worked for a number of national and international musicians such as Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), Barry Ryan, Bobby Kimball (Toto) and Chuck Berry. Now he is presenting his first solo album as a composer and keyboardist with "Nachklang". In order to set new musical goals, you need to look back at your own roots from time to time. “There was a Fender Rhodes with a Roland JazzChorus, an Oberheim, a MiniMoog, a tape echo machine and a TEAK four-track tape machine. Terrific!«
Against this background, a thoughtful album was created that is connected to a lifestyle of bygone days. Impressions that still resonate. »I still get goosebumps when I hear these sounds anywhere. We often sat smoking and drinking coffee in our student butze and listened to the latest albums by Steely Dan, Yes, Gentle Giant, Zappa and and and... Now I've combined these timeless sounds with modern sounds. So I see my songs as a homage to my old "heroes" like George Duke, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Jan Hammer.«
»Of course, as a drummer, I also have other idols. But I see myself as a musician who always focuses on the whole package.” At some point, the sound will probably have to leave the body and return to the universe where it originally came from.

Musically based on the tradition of American folk songs, which have shaped him since his early youth, Jörg Erb searches for the liveliness of a person who is confronted with stagnation. Without a net, but with a double bottom, he describes human borders and destinies in his texts.
The songs on his album were mostly written in 2020; they look back and catch up with us. Thrown back on ourselves, we stand still and face the big questions that we all too often dodge: who are we, where do we come from, where are we going?
The songs want to get close, even if it sometimes hurts - without sadness there is no consolation. Jörg Erb wants to touch people with his music; In his opinion, the greatest wealth of text, music and singing is here.
The album was mainly recorded live; the recordings were produced by Uli Kringler, who also has an impressive presence as a guitarist and organist. Jörg Erb was able to win numerous other renowned colleagues as guest musicians, including Yogi Jockusch (last with Achim Reichel), Martin Bentz (Kaiser Quartet), Hagen Kuhr (Carla Bley, Giora Feidman, Die Ärzte, Selig, Udo Lindenberg).
The production was funded by the Music / New Culture Initiative.

PERCIPIO ERGO SUM is the second solo album by the multi-instrumentalist and producer Jens Lueck (including Syrinx Call, Isgaard), aka SINGLE CELLED ORGANISM.
Clearly rooted in art and progressive rock of the 70s, the range is wide: post rock, alternative, soundtrack and electronic interjections, interspersed with distinctive rhythms and independent guitar riffs. Like a red thread, polyphonic vocal passages and exciting solos, which despite their complexity never lose their melodiousness, run through the pieces. Jens Lueck, who grew up on the piano and later mainly played the drums on the stage, often had the guitar in hand while composing this album - the result are many unorthodox guitar parts that Ingo Salzmann (who contributed his own solos) ) and Johnny Beck as well as Jürgen Osuchowski on the acoustic guitar.
As with all Lueck projects, real strings were used again (for the orchestral simulation in the overdub process) and Jens Lueck's partner ISGAARD took over the vocal parts of the female protagonist again.
PERCIPIO ERGO SUM is again a concept album and continues the story of the previous album SPLINTER IN THE EYE (more on the website www.singlecelledorganism.com). The two protagonists survived the fall of civilization and the reconstruction and suffer - each for himself, without meeting each other personally - from the past as well as from the present. The “brave new world” displeases both of them, but in different ways.
The focus is on the so-called TV girl with her perception of civilization, people, the world par excellence, because all of this is for the early 20-year-olds, the 16 years as a test object in a sealed off bunker (without knowledge of the existence of the outside world / other people) completely new.
At its core, it differs fundamentally from other people who are either speechless and uninterested or who are largely shaped by the Cartesian worldview (“cogito, ergo sum” = “I think, therefore I am”).
Her credo is PERCIPIO ERGO SUM (= I perceive, therefore I am), because she sees herself as part of a whole and defines herself through interaction.
The attitude of both protagonists is to be understood as a criticism of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene.

In the lockdown, the doors of the clubs remain closed, concerts do not take place, events are cancelled, friends are met digitally. TEVALIK used this time sensibly to fulfill a heart's desire, their own album with their own music, for all friends of black, electronic (dance) music.
The debut album of the duo from the Rhineland will conquer your hearts, make your auditory ossicles vibrate and make your body sway.
Songs like "Own Rules", "Be Mine" and "No One" are energetic, catchy and belong in the city's clubs to be danced to. If the doors should remain closed, the album is ideal for cruising from A to B in a good mood in the car. Songs like "Scared KI", "Timewaster" or the title track of the album "Own Rules" inspire. At home, the CD unfolds particularly well on headphones. Every single song on the album wants to be discovered and also – or especially – unfolds new worlds of sound after repeated listening. Particularly noteworthy here are "Forcelife", "One Thought" and "The Shame".

When you hear the name Friedel Geratsch, many people think of Neue Deutsche Welle and funny songs that, despite everything, always had a deeper message.
Here, on his first solo album, after all he has been playing the guitar since 1964, the Ruhrpottler proves that he is more complex and thoughtful. It's not a "Ja, ne merry" record, you have to listen to the songs in peace, it's not for streaming on the side. We are proud that we can present this record to the (music) world together with Friedel. This is 100% gossip.

»I am in a place between shadow and light« is not just a song line, but a clear description of the location. Sweet melancholy meets powerful, pounding rhythms and captivates from the first to the last note. And all this played on four-string cigar box guitars that Friedel had built himself.
Music couldn't be more honest and earthy. And always think about it, live every moment consciously, »because you can no longer take the milk out of the coffee«.

Eckhardt Günther is a German composer, guitarist and author. He was born in Perleberg/OT Schönfeld/Brandenburg and has lived in Osnabrück since 1975. His work includes pieces of almost every genre: orchestral works, stage works, chamber music but also pop-rock-jazz songs with their own lyrics...
This double album ON ALL NOTES,17 PRELUDES AND FUGUES FOR PIANO is so titled because the Preludes and Fugues are composed on all notes along the chromatic scale (from A to G#). All movements have neither "major" nor "minor" and each end on neutral chords without being atonal. Strict order and freedom are combined in a meaningful way, leaving room for improvisation.
In the present digital version, it is not the organic musical expression that is in the foreground, but the motor pulse. This work is also intended as an offer to pianists to expand their repertoire and to give these pieces their own personal touch and more "natural" character.

Tell-Tale-Heart is a project launched by jazz saxophonist Ralf-Peter Fuchs in 2015 to perform his own pieces. Sava Medan, bassist currently living in Paris, has been there from the start. For the first CD, two musicians from the Ruhr area, Christian Hammer (guitar) and Michael Knippschild (drums), were part of the party and got involved in a sensitive way in bringing musical stories to life. Ralf-Peter Fuchs, Professor of History at the University of Duisburg-Essen, wrote his songs over a longer period of several years, under the impressions he received from dealing with historical topics. Many of the songs were written in Munich, where he also worked as a professional musician for a while. The CD "Dance in the Haze" is about, among other things, witch dances, Spanish mercenaries in the early modern period, the medieval hustle and bustle in a port on the Ligurian coast, and last but not least the story of Chunanup, the eloquent oasis man, from ancient Egyptian literature .
The project stands in the tradition of storytelling in jazz, for which there are numerous role models. The recordings for "Dance in the Haze" were made in August 2019. Due to the corona epidemic, it was not possible to present the music together in concerts. The band hopes that this will change soon and performances can be planned again. Other compositions are also waiting to be played. Tell-Tale-Heart will thus be continued and further developed as a concept.

The extremely transparent, clear and very spatial sound is also positive. Whenever the classical rock instruments appear increasingly as an opposite pole, “The Moon On A Stick” has its strongest moments. Kuinke proves this, for example, on “Traces In My Mind”, a fine Eloy homage, and the eight-minute long “The Man In The Spotlight”, which cleverly brings blissful Pink Floyd times to life. This mix of flute sounds that meet lush keyboard carpets and elegiac guitar solos works excellently and is really fun. (Martin Dambeck, babyblaue-seiten.de)

Seen from the moon, our earth appears as a blue marble. The sight of them touches hearts and minds and shows us how precious our planet is. What are we doing here on it, when we are really very small, threatened by permanent overestimation of ourselves?
"Sometime or now" - a CD with subtle compositions and lyrics on the subject of the earth and how we spend our time on it - as lovers, as belligerents, as lies, as seekers of truth - the musician and poet Akampita Steiner reveals to us.
Minimal music, chanson, folklore, the Orient are the elements from which the classical guitarist with a dark, velvety chanson voice weaves her impressive evenings. Her lyrics are a mixture of immediacy and accurate observations that expose human activity. The addition of exotic instruments leads the listener into an enchanted forest of music-poetic worlds.

With his new album "Der Teufel takes nur Bares" Micha Schlueter dives into different worlds of sound. In doing so, he combines elements from different genres. Garage-punk folk songs meet dark bar music on the piano.
A trashy percussion, banjo, electric guitars with tremolo effect and reverb, accordion, xylophone and rough, expressive lyrics create a lot of atmosphere and create a captivating arc of suspense. An edgy sound between desert & road, vintage & zeitgeist, pub & fair.
Micha Schlueter learned his craft at the State University of Music in Trossingen, where he studied classical guitar. Live he is on the road in different formations. As a one-man band or together in a duo with the theater actor and musician Christian Wolfgang Steiner, as well as with the singer-songwriter Florijan van der Holz.
In 2012 he founded the after-work collective with his musician friend Max Francois,
which caused a sensation with the annual "Vive la Vie Festival" in Stuttgart.
In addition to songwriting, he is also the frontman of the band "bellalebwohl". (Radio Stuttgart, EP, 2020, Timezone Records)
Micha Schlueter has released an EP in recent years and his fourth studio album "Der Teufel takes nur Bares". His albums were highly praised by the specialist press and made it into numerous radio programs and the song list. In 2020 he was nominated for the sponsorship award.
Micha Schlueter has been with the Timezone Records label since 2012.

On his second studio album "Die Neue Deutsche accordinglye" the triple German rock and pop award winner John Liedermann finds new sounds and fresh music. This time, many musicians from all over Germany are guests. With guitars, synthesizers, percussion, piano, strings, choir singing and some provocation, there were no limits to his creativity. Loud & crazy; quiet & thoughtful; motley to dream & sing along. With these texts and music he composed himself, John Liedermann crossed many a threshold of German-language music. Whether cheerful or profound, political or even a bit psychopathic - there's a lot going on on this album!
A production by:
Dimensions Music and John Liederman
Musical guests and friends on this album: Der Ole (former singer of Massendefekt), Dimensions Music, Diary of Madaleine, Vicky D., Casual K., Andi Götz and Conny Conrad

The album was written, arranged and recorded during the global Covid 19 pandemic. Craig Hinds started collecting initial ideas in early 2020. The songs developed slowly and when he was allowed to travel again, he met up with his bandmates in Johannesburg to continue developing the titles in joint sessions. "There was much to write about as emotions ran high, families and couples were apart and 'times they are/were a-changing,' as the legend Bob Dylan would have put it" (CRAIG HINDS).

Heinrich Heine's texts are almost two centuries old, and yet they seem so fresh, so modern, so astonishingly close to today's attitude towards life (his language is of such poetic directness and such lightness as in a folk song) that the idea almost urged: one would have to invent a separate music for the poems - from deep sadness to malicious mockery - because each of these pieces has its own temperature, its own composition of wit, anger, knowledge of the world and melancholy. And so a variety of musical forms have emerged, from art songs to chansons and world music to blues and rap.
The actor Uwe Neumann, obsessed with languages ​​and at home on many stages, and the internationally recognized guitar virtuoso Ian Melrose give the poetry of Heine the groove that is actually hidden in it anyway in their thoroughly playful debut.
Melrose and Neumann have achieved a remarkably high sound quality: It was recorded, mixed and mastered by the renowned sound engineer Jörg Surrey at Surrealis Sounds Studio @ Teldex in Berlin. In addition to the main actors, top Berlin session musicians were invited to the studio for some songs in order to further deepen and refine the sound experience.
Texts by Heinrich Heine (selected by Uwe Neumann). All music composed by Ian Vance Melrose and Uwe Frederic Neumann, except "Angel Eyes" (M. & T: M.Dennis & EK Brent).
All music arranged by Ian Vance Melrose. Produced by Ian Melrose and Uwe Neumann.

With rough tenderness, the Osnabrück musician Herr Svenson works his way through fantastic songs full of love and longing on his first solo album and sings about the stages of his life, about harbor bars, his child, about slumberland.

Musically, Mr. Svenson's songs vary between minimalist singer-songwriter aesthetics, melodic alternative vibes and complex arrangements dominated by percussion.
Mr. Svenson loves guitars, powered or not. Banjo, mandolin, bass, wurlitzer, darbuka and bendir. He plays with everything he can get his hands on. There are no drums here, instead body percussion and Arabic percussion. He gratefully leaves the piano to his musical companion Mr. Andreas Müller and on the accordion Matthes Wilhelm provides a melancholic flair.
The lyrics move between sincere, unkitsch declarations of love ('Sieben Lieben', 'Lied für mein Kind') and the desire for freedom ('Once more loose'). They alternate between sympathetic self-mockery ('Scheiß am Schuh', 'Große Liebe') and heartbreaking lovesickness ('She doesn't wait any longer', 'To the Stars').
This special mix makes 'Herr Svenson sings Liebeslieder' an impressive and genuine listening experience. And a roller coaster of emotions. Because the realization 'In my heart I'm a stray' is by no means just coquetry with any clichés for Mr. Svenson, but pure self-knowledge and the beginning of a long journey, the search for a home.
Mr. Svenson has just the right voice to tell these stories: barbed like old velvet, rough and scratchy at times, but always sensitive and authentic.
When he duets with the wonderful singers Anja Ricciuti ('To the Stars') and Rebecca Colen ('She's not waiting anymore'), it touches the listener to the core.
Songwriting, arrangements and production: In every detail you can hear the passion that Mr. Svenson put into his work. Great cinema for the ears. A favorite film in 14 songs that you wish would never end.
The album sounds absolutely timeless, but it is also a retrospective. In his own words: “I'm an old bastard with a new project. Some of the songs were written many years ago, but never suited my bands. I've wanted to record the stuff for a long time and now I've fulfilled it."

The Provisorios have been making music for 25 years and have delighted their audiences in long-gone clubs on the Hamburg scene such as Marquee, Werkstatt 3, Lets Rock, Hafenklang, Stairway, Markthalle and Caspars Ballroom. In addition to some 7-inches and sampler contributions, they released their first CD in 2011.
Now, with their new CD, they are presenting a recording that, alongside cheerfully sarcastic pop, wild insults and sensitive ballad passages about space, clothing, the press, musicians and facades, comes to the conclusion: This World Is Not My Home!
The meaningful title "II" results from the fact that the band, which at one point consisted of five people, now has two band members left. The band motto used to be to reduce a song to its skeleton. Today, the two musicians quickly reverse the motto and create a powerful and effective hybrid of styles from whose roots they draw their juice. From lively 80s electronics (Pension Stammheim) to rock-hard No Wave (Das Fisch), both highlights on their orbit with LP releases that, among other things, present their background, document their ongoing motivation to cross borders and stand in ambivalent conflict with clumsy expectations .

ESSENCE is impressive. The debut album by musician ELIH inspires with a mixture of blues, world music and ukulele sounds, which merge with his warm voice into a real experience.
With his wonderful voice and selected instruments, ELIH knows how to create an inspiring sound that takes the listener on a journey.
From the heartbeat of the earth it goes into the immensity of the universe.
Then it's about the short ways, which usually seem the longest: To the "inner child" or to the "simple things" that are often waiting to be discovered.
"Essence" draws attention to the elementary and allows insights into ELIH's life: blazing love, closeness to nature and the desire to listen to your own heart. Exotic sounds and danceable passages alternate with meditative songs, all filled with ELIH's soothing singing.
And suddenly you really feel like singing along, the lyrics are so catchy and beautiful.
This album is a gem for anyone who wants to get closer to life and themselves and what really matters.

In the late seventies and early eighties, Mountain Ash, the band around "Werner Naolnys Jane" guitarist Dete Klamann, was one of the busiest bands in Hanover and the region.
In 1976 they recorded their single in the legendary Ton Cooperative in Hanover and in 1980 their LP in the Jane Studio in Sarstedt. Now the recordings are available for the first time, digitally remastered, on a CD.
In the booklet of the CD, the fan will find a QR code that leads to an internet site where many photos from Dete Klamann's "Mountain Ash" photo album can be found.

The new album "Harmonie" by Phil Solo is rockier than the old album. "ScheintSo" was a singer/songwriter concept album about love and freedom. The new album is called "Harmonie", sounds like a band and is a sound-oriented concept album that reflects joy and life in harmony.
Again, Phil, matching his stage name Phil Solo, recorded all the instruments himself in the studio. He recorded all the guitars, bass, drums, piano, keys, banjo, ukulele and mandolin himself.
The multi-instrumentalist's songs are full of hedonism and joie de vivre. Themes such as loss and fear also get a positive and optimistic, harmonious ending in the songs. "Harmonie" is an ode to life, which should be enjoyed to the fullest. A positive view of the future can move mountains. Phil's lyrics show that sometimes crises are needed to gain new energy. Sometimes the great love and the new dream of life is right in front of you, suddenly it is there, the harmony that converts all your strength into positive energy.
You can feel exactly this power and energy on the album. In the lyrics and in the sound, this feeling runs through the entire album like a leitmotif. The all-encompassing intention of the album culminates in the last lines of the song Zeit: "Go and live your dream".
Phil's new album "Harmonie" sounds as open to life and as colorful as an optimistic life's dream.
Phil Solo's new album is bursting with energy, his lyrics are empathetically poignant and the atmosphere of his songs, like the album title, is full of "harmony"

Peter Autschbach:
“Joscho Stephan is without a doubt a world-class guitarist who is best known for his incredibly virtuoso solo technique in the Django Reinhardt genre, which he interprets in his own unique and recognizable way. 
With all new and fresh ideas, he effortlessly lives up to Reinhardt's legacy. In the duo with me, Joscho shows himself from a slightly different side: also virtuoso, but more jazzy, sometimes with archtop guitar and sometimes with flat top acoustic guitar. It was great fun to record the pieces for our joint album 'Sundowner' with him in my studio (and to sing along with two of the pieces) and everything went very quickly. The reason is that we always (even if we tried a second version) decided to go for the "first take".
Half of the music consists of new, own compositions and our spontaneous interpretations of well-known standards. We are both happy and proud of the new album and I am very happy that it will also be released on vinyl. "

Quote from guitar master Siegfried Schwab:
“Dear Peter, dear Joscho, you have achieved something really great, you can't get enough of this sundowner, because it turned out to be an all-round successful recording!
My number one, of course: 'Holobiont'. With this piece you opened the door to the guitarist Champions League wide, wide. One can only be happy that such masters work here in our center (Europe).
Congratulations, your Sigi Schwab "

CHAOSBAY’s 20-minute track "Tragedy No.1" is one of the band's first releases in 2015. According to singer and main songwriter Jan Listing, it was the first song ever composed for this band. Inspired by musical role models such as PAIN OF SALVATION, DREAM THEATER or PORCUPINE TREE, a continuous piece was composed that combines a variety of motifs and themes, a modern, powerful production (by Dani Weber, bassist of the band THE INTERSPHERE) and a complex arrangement. In the following years this “symphonic” approach to composition would become the band's trademark. The EP is considered the predecessor of the highly acclaimed debut album VASILISA, which was released that same year (also due to some hidden hints in the booklet). As a harbinger of this legendary 40-minute concept album (also available here at Timezone), it is also bursting with virtuoso instrumental passages, tricky rhythms, catchy hooks, heavy riffs and shines with the multi-faceted voice of Jan Listing, who growls, raps and sings his way through all octaves with ease. Fans of STEVEN WILSON, MUSE or SYMPHONY X will definitely enjoy this record.

Maybe it was just a joke when the guys from REASON FOR JACK talked about wanting to take over the world and drink lots of beer and Jack in an interview with Blattturbo. But maybe it was just the quartet's motto that its followers probably see it more as a reincarnation of Lemmy.
However, it is quite certain and without perhaps that the combo from tranquil Nümbrecht (NRW) has everything that is generally referred to as "solid rock".
And should you ever be looking for a band that stands for the epitome of ROCK: the search can be stopped immediately! Four types, - yes: types! - who belt out hard, full, powerful and at the same time melodic guitar riffs and combine this with an unmistakable voice. They describe their style as badass rock'n'roll. And that's exactly what it is! And you can't hear enough about it.

What happens when a mature songwriter and singer teams up with an accomplished rock drummer and studio freak, both musically and privately? The result is somewhere between sofa, kitchen and studio, an eclectic collection of songs that are a bit out of date, but still sound surprisingly modern. Traditional songwriting on guitar or piano, paired with working in their own high-tech studio, without the producer or label constantly checking the clock, allowed the NOSAER protagonists Felician Siebenstaern and Micha Strauss to get to the heart of their songs, completely no matter how long it took. With "Signals From Eternity" a completely successful, organic album developed over three years, definitely with mainstream appeal, but completely without pandering to current pop trends. The two finally mixed the work in a pop-up studio on the west coast of Ireland, which you can hear in the result in a subtle way, at least as far as the vibe is concerned. Atmospheric sounds like the tracks “Black To Wide” or “Signals To Eternity” are joined by songs with hit potential, like “Hide Yourself” with its great (and big) chorus. Clean and heavier guitars mix with elegiac synthesizer pads; the drums often have their own gait and stand out pleasantly from the contemporary minimalism of bang-bang-bang-bang. The album has a musical and emotional depth and breadth that is remarkable. Drummer and producer Micha Strauss once said in a quiet hour: "Drumming saved my life when I was 13." For Felician Siebenstaern, sounds, words and colors have formed an interwoven unit since early childhood, which she shapes into stories in her songs.
If you listen deeply to the songs, you suddenly understand what it means when music becomes an essential expression of your life.
Felician Siebenstaern challenges the listener with introspective lyrics that reflect a not inconsiderable life experience. The “inner noise of life that drives you on”, as she reports, is the basis of her often pleasantly melancholy, but always positive writing. Crucial personal experiences, accepting the recurring changes in life and the courage to look behind the facades and surfaces are Felician's themes.
With their debut, NOSAER throw an international rock album with pop charm into the world for adults or those who want to become one. And the world deserves to hear!

After numerous productions with previous bands, SCHULTE releases eight different titles in the rock sound of the 80s with a modern touch in his debut album of the same name (release February 2021). With Conny Conrad, the producer who has won international music awards at his side, a musical work has been created in which Schulte's lyrics also make you sit up and take notice. Schulte processes past and present situations in the lyrics and catchy melodies that stick in the head - but always stays positive, true to his motto. Schulte, born as the son of a merchant on May 3rd, 1962 in Münster (Westphalia), founded his first band at the age of 14. Being also "organizationally" gifted, he quickly made a name for himself as a "rock concert promoter" and musician. From 1984 Schulte played in different bands at home and abroad. From field service to sales manager of a software company, interim manager and film production manager to vice-president of an Internet & Web TV company, he still works today as managing partner of the company EGS-Optik GmbH (purchasing and marketing association for ophthalmic optics shops) and the company "Die-SW-Factory GmbH" (coaching cryptocurrencies & internet services) in Bavaria. Despite his commercial career, the singer and musician Schulte never neglected his roots. The life experience that he was able to acquire on this path he processes in his debut work "SCHULTE".

The new CD by the Manfred Fuchs Trio convinces with varied original pieces, catchy melodies and rousing grooves.
The stylistic diversity ranges from traditional gypsy swing and romantic-dreamy ballads to blues, rhythm changes and gypsy bossa to tango, with highly virtuosic, imaginative improvisations that seem to ignore technical problems.
The bass also comes into its own - unusual for the genre - in every piece, sometimes plucked, sometimes bowed.
