Lyrics:

Dark felt 
And wild black animals strike
Out of their cages
Searching for prey
Unsatisfied desires
All seem uncertain
As people get scared 
By the devils look
As people get scared 
By his look

Authority collapses 
Down on its knees
As black boots of leather
Make paths crouch
Today’s heroes, today’s heroes
Black tigers can’t be saved anymore

Dark Felt

Alive She Died - Dark Felt

Vicious Circle

Two musicians from Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Richard Kersten and Frithjof Krepp decided it was time to storm the charts with an electro pop-rock LP in German language. R.E.K. were enthusiastically signed by RCA Records. The mixture of pop, rock and electronic sounds was well received. One of the authors' main fears was the perceived danger of linking computer technology with means of production. Ultimately, robots would construct robots, and humans would be universally controlled by technology, while love would be viewed as a program error - "Computer Haben Herzschmerz" (Christine Rötig - female vocals). However, shortly after signing, RCA went bankrupt and the LP disappeared. Krepp and Kersten, after having produced two Richard Kersten solo LPs  ("Ensenada Amiga" for Jupiter Records in 1981 and "R.E.K.1" in 1983), both individually went on to write and produce in their individual studios, while they are still collaborating in various projects. Although the few existing photos suggest R.E.K. was a band project, they were the two leading players, helped by various studio players and recorded back then at Fred Schreier's "Europasound Studios".

Geheimnis Records/Music Productions was founded in August 2010. It's an indie record label, based in the centre of Athens, focusing on re-releases of lost and real hard to find sought-after records and cassettes. Focusing on the so-called Wave / Synth genre of the 80's and 90's, the purpose is to reveal obscure - and many times misunderstood - bands and artists to vinyl collectors and music enthusiasts, who are seeking into old record stores and the internet, just to find one piece at a time (and usually at a high cost...). Somehow, the label's name has to do with seeking lost treasures, therefore it's a secret (in English), a GEHEIMNIS (in German), μυστικό (in Greek), a secret (in French). The main difference is, that the purpose of the label is to expose this "secret" and not keep it for itself. And that's how the story begins !

In December 2011, almost one year after its first appearance, Geheimnis Records has officially entered the era of involving with new artists and releases of the contemporary synth / wave sound, linking the past with the future, the old with the new. And that's because rhythms and melodies didn't stop to be produced all these years, while talented artists are always an intriguing issue which keep our interest alive. So, the philosophy of the label, considering its involvement with new artists, has evolved in its deep meaning. The "secret" exists only in the very beginning. As long as the artist(s) - through our label - reveals his/her work, the "secret" is gone. Anything new has always a potion of secrecy and the label's initial purpose was, and still is, to find and uncover "secrets / geheimnisse".
