Peter Mergener and Michael Weisser published several CDs under the name Gene. The music of 1988 was then republished as Canadian Lakes on the IC label. The music sounds like Creatures of Mergener and is very close to nature.

Artist: Software (Mergener & Weisser)
P: 1984 / 1990
Tracks 5 to 8 are bonus tracks from the album Night Light. " Beam - Scape " is the first album by the electronic duo PETER MERGENER and MICHAEL WEISSER, who later joined forces under the project name SOFTWARE and released many more great albums in the years that followed until their split in 1999. Since the dissolution of SOFTWARE, P. Mergener has continued to produce electronic music in his studio in the Eiffel, while M. Weisser is primarily active as a media artist. The year 1984, in which this album was released, was the birth year of the SOFTWARE project and the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between P. Mergener and M. Weisser. The album " Beam - Scape " basically only consists of the first four tracks on this CD, while tracks 5 - 8 are the complete A-side of the album " Night - Light " released in 1986. The eight tracks on this CD are mostly very calm and natural, as befits this duo, often with spacey soundscapes and catchy sequencer lines. Now and then the rhythm computer is used on one or the other track. But the album "Beam-Scape", i.e. the first four tracks on this CD, can definitely be counted as belonging to the very early SOFTWARE era, when the music of this duo was still very much based on the style of the "Berlin School" and the tracks could sometimes be over 15 minutes long. The remaining four tracks, on the other hand, i.e. the A-side of the album "Night-Light" (1986), which was released two years later, show the musical direction in which the two musicians would develop with their SOFTWARE project. And it is precisely for this reason that this CD is so interesting and no SOFTWARE fan should be without it. I can also warmly recommend this album to fans of well-produced electronic music. But above all, it is the four tracks of the "Beam Scape" album that let the listener float in other spheres. Fascinating electronic music from a very early phase of the later SOFTWARE project. Extremely interesting, exciting and fascinating!

With more than 30 acclaimed albums to his credit Peter Mergener has become one of the most respected and prolific musicians in contemporary electronic and cosmopolitan music scene. Still he always kept being open to and well aware of the qualities in other musicians. So over the years Mergener and Hoffmann-Hoock have frequently collaborated – on “Visions Of Asia” you now can hear the most beautiful results of their musical friendship! The compositions are slick and charming, evoking distant lands thick with exotic flavor. Many of the tracks possess a calming quality despite their complex structure, applying their dreamy melodies to inspire a sense of epic scope.

"African Smiles" is the fascinating document of the composers impressions from a lengthy trip to the black continent. African rhythms, chants and natural sounds blend beautifully with Mergeners sensual synthetics. A musical vision with breathtakingly wide range!

Returning to the best of his style in the Space Sequencer Music, Peter Mergener draws the plot of an exciting story of futuristic action with strong brush strokes.
Melodies which often turn out to be mysterious, powerful rhythms and cybernetic ambiences are the master lines where this brilliant album is based on.
Peter Mergener, who has come to fame within the world of electronic music through his ground breaking work as a member of Software and Mergener/Weisser, presents eleven sparkling tracks from a decade of inspired work for the first timed to the public on his new album "Cruisin". The multi instrumentalist, composer and producer explains: "Again and again I ended up with tracks that I liked but didn't fit on my current albums for one or the other reason. So I started to keep them in store and wait for the right moment to turn them into a special album." Mergener himself was surprised when that album developed into more than just a rarities-compilation: "When I started to work on a running order for the tracks, a kind of musical fantasy trip started to emerge. A trip through space which leads back to Planet Earth on the last two tracks."
