RARITIES

Artist: Mathias Grassow + Bruno Sanfilippo

Delicate Steinway Old Lady Grand Piano impressions and subtle, air-filled drones. Mathias Grassow lays down a series of gossamer drone textures reminiscent of distant fogs - hazy, grey beds of transparent tone with shifting densities that seep into the consciousness softening the atmosphere, drenching the soundscape. These electronic formations at times recede and hang in the background allowing Bruno Sanfilippo's piano work to dominate, but in other places they well up and fill the senses becoming dense, intense, engrossing. The piano parts are achingly beautiful and melodic on some tracks - sparse, unhurried developments that seem to pour straight from the heart of the player.
There are also darker passages of finger runs looming from the relative stillness of the synths. Sometimes the ivories sink deep within the mists, reverberating gently, becoming a part of the air or are so heavily effected as to merge with the backdrop.

Track 6 is a bonus track not included in the former versions of this album.
Ambient master Mathias Grassow and one of the new promising names in electronic music Thomas Weiss join up for another deep and hypnotic journey.
Quiet calling can be described as a mixture between 2 styles, ambient and psychedelic, yet it is enriched with complex cinematic-classical soundscapes.
Each track can be selected separately, although they all blend into each other seamlessly.

Thoughts, deep below the surface, melancholy wrestles with meaning. Words will fail, where only music can be a valid expression. This is the intention, the demand on 'ad infinitum': let there be sound, not the word.
'ad infinitum' - to infinity. The mourning for the lost, the hope for the future... THAT is 'ad infinitum', THIS is me... Matzumi.
Here the new version with 3 Bonus-tracks.

Rhythmic and full of soundlayers. A very good debut of the two italian musicians way back in 1993. This was the first recording in holographic 3D.

Excellent instrumental rock with lots of guitar.
Another chapter has been written. Melodic and electrifying songs, guitars and electronics combined to an independent sound. Performed in an empathic manner - authentic pressurefull material without any compromises.

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!
