THE TWO PIECE BOX (CD $16) Add to Cart PROJECT INTER.COM (CD $16) Add to Cart ANNAZAAL TAPES (CD $16) Add to Cart WOLFSBURG (CD $18) Add to Cart 4 3 2 BOX SET ( 3 CDS $45) Add to Cart Mario and Detlef over the span of their many collaborations have come up with some of the most spatial as well as hypnotically rhythmic/ melodic German electronic music recorded over the decade of the 1990's. A listen to any one of these releases will have you wanting more, and in the end owning them all if you are a fan of EM. (THE REASON WHY PT. 1 + PROJECT INTER.COM are in fact discs 1 and 2 of the 4 3 2 box set). DETLEF KELLER

BEHIND THE TEARS (CD $16) Add to Cart THE OTHER FACE (CD $16) Add to Cart DIFFERENT FACES (CD $16) Add to Cart Detlef's extensive solo catalog contains one gem after another of beautiful melodies and surging sequential tracks. The mix of soaring symphonic arrangements and pulsing rhythms is absolutely intoxicating. He also tends to arrange the pieces so they segue-way into one another creating a striking conceptual flow that sweeps you up in its wave of sound. FANGER & SCHONWALDER
ANALOG OVERDOSE #1 (DELUXE CD $20) Add to Cart ANALOG OVERDOSE #2 (DBL CD $25) Add to Cart ANALOG OVERDOSE #3 (CD $16) Add to Cart If you long for the days of deep, dark undulating analog space music excursions, then these CDs are for you. Thomas Fanger and Mario Schonwalder (the main man of Manikin Records) have gotten together a very nice arsenal of classic gear, and let the musical magic pour forth from the speakers. Take a trip back to the glory days of Teutonic Electronics with these 3 great releases that literally overflow with sequences, undulations, pulsations and layers of dense synthetic sound.! FANGER & KERSTEN
INTERKOSMOS (CD $16) Add to Cart SPLASHDOWN (CD $16) Add to Cart F & K have produced a series of albums for various labels, under a couple pseudonyms. But their releases on Manikin Records are by far the best. They meld hints of techno-electronics into dense spatial electronics and strong melodic soundscapes. The resulting sonic concoction is entrancing and at times positively transcendent. DER SPYRA
ACHTUNDSECHZIG 42 (CD 16) Add to Cart HOMELISTENINGISKILLINGCLUBS (CD $16) Add to Cart FUTURE OF THE PAST (CD $16) Add to Cart ELEVATOR TO HEAVEN (3 CDS $55) Add to Cart Wolfram Spyra is another prolific artist who has done many recordings for various labels, but once again his works for Manikin show off a slightly different side of his musical talent than the other releases do. He combines the cosmic/ symphonic, with beat-oriented riffing to achieve a striking musical effect. At times it's soaring and celestial, only to crash land back down on earth devolving into primal pulsating bursts of energy. MANIKIN RECORDS SAMPLER BEST OF (CD $10) Add to Cart If you have never heard any of the Manikin Records CDs, then you are in for a treat when you do. To give a listen before plunging in head first try this sampler CD. BEST OF is a nice compilation, cheaply priced, of selections from most off of their release at that time it was issued, aprox. 2 years ago. Now sold out in Germany and Eurock has the last copies. |
