new album in 2023

nächtelang hab ich gebetet
dass die sonne nicht mehr scheint
es fällt uns allen schwer zu atmen
die erde brennt vor leidenschaft
optimismus aus den köpfen
euer glück ist meine last
liebe geht nicht durch den magen
wenn du nichts zu essen hast

big thanks to YUNE for recording the vocals and the amazing mix and mastering! <3

diving
into a sea
deep blue
infinity
precious memories
romantic melodies
keeping me here and alive
the sunlight will survive

finding
a center of peace
solutions
against misery
fearing decisions
leading divisions
we are falling apart
poisons in our heart

huge merci again to YUNE for recording the vocals, mixing and mastering - it´s all time a pleasure <3

BILL LASWELL & PETE NAMLOOK 'Outland' 6CD Boxset (CSR327BX)

The 'Outland' album series was a collaborative endeavour by the visionary US bassist-producer Bill Laswell and the late German musician Peter Namlook that pushed the boundaries of dark ambient and electronic music. 

Spanning five albums released over a thirteen year period from 1994, this new boxset serves as a testament to the creative synergy between the two masterminds.

At the time the duo joined forces, the New York-based Laswell was already a famous producer with a massive client list that included cutting-edge rock, pop, funk, jazz and electronic artists, but he had also founded the Axiom label in 1989 and been responsible for groundbreaking work in genres that included ambient, dub and world music. Namlook was recognised as a pioneering figure in the ambient techno scene, having founded the label FAX +49-69/450464 in his native Frankfurt in 1992.

'Outland' became a fusion of their individual musical sensibilities that resulted in a unique set of releases. At the heart of the series is an exploration of sound as a vehicle for emotion and contemplation, with Laswell's signature basslines and experimental soundscapes interweaving seamlessly with Namlook's ethereal textures and intricate sonic layering. Each album is characterised by a sense of expansiveness, taking listeners on a voyage through rarely charted sonic dimensions. All have the ability to evoke a wide range of emotions and have their own distinctive sonic palette, ranging from ambient tranquility to cosmic intensity.

'Outland' has endured as an influential touchstone, its impact felt not only in its captivating soundscapes but also in its invitation to engage in deep introspection and cosmic contemplation. With each album, the duo beckoned listeners to transcend the mundane and embark on a sonic voyage into the extraordinary, where sound becomes a conduit for spiritual and artistic expression.

The lavish matte-finish boxset opens to the 5 "Outland" albums in separate matte sleeves, with all-new designsby Abby Helasdottir (Gydja), and all audio completely remastered by Martin Bowes (The Cage). This box also contains a new addition to the OUTLAND series - an album of dense, bass space drone by Bill Laswell, entitled "Blackland". The boxset also contains an exclusive card with an essay about the project written by BIll Laswell, July 2023.

The Return (Instrumental Demo 2023)

on my way back home 
I need you in my bed more than you can understand
hopefully you're cold, then I'll be by your side

I just wanted tonight
when you're gone are you gone babe
will I ever see your face again
not tonight, the feeling isn't right
I'll be gone in the next life

I never fucked a ghost
but I'd be down to try if you'll haunt me tonight
as long as you make sure I get to say goodbye
I get to say goodbye this time

when you're gone are you gone babe
will I ever see your face again
not tonight, the feeling isn't right
I'll be gone in the next life

if darkness never sleeps
then why are you asleep so peacefully by me
holding on to close
I'll never get too cold for I need you the most

when you're gone are you gone babe
will I ever see your face again
not tonight, the feeling isn't right
I'll be gone in the next life

often all alone I think to myself would I have been better off
If I had just kept close 
every-time you left but now you're finally gone

when you're gone are you gone babe 
when you're gone are you gone babe
when you're gone are you gone babe
when you're gone are you gone babe

A STORY THAT REFUSES TO STAY BURIED

He thought his past was gone, but it came back like something that refused to stay buried. It crept into his mind at night, quiet but heavy, reminding him of everything he tried to forget. He told himself he was ready to face it this time, ready to fight the darkness. But when he stood in front of those old memories, he felt small again. The fear hit him the same way it did years ago, sharp and cold. He tried to be stronger, but his hands shook and his breath cracked. The darkness knew he was still weak, and it wrapped around him slowly. He felt it sinking into his chest, pulling at the parts of him he still cared about. It ate at him from the inside, filling him with a sadness he couldn’t fight anymore. And in the end, he understood: the past didn’t come back to be faced—only to claim him again.
