Info:
Fred und Luna have always had a preference for symmetry. Reflected in their cover motifs and, on the current album, in the length of the musical pieces, which are all around the five-minute zone.
"Im Fünfminutentakt", accordingly the name of their latest creation, is "Fred und Luna’s" fourth longplayer, an exquisite selection of contemporary instrumental and vocal pieces with a sensitive feel for repetitive rhythms, enchanting melodies and mesmerizing sounds.
Particularly noteworthy are "Es ist so schön" (“It’s wunderschön”/”C’est wunderbar”), a piece sung in three languages (with its sensitive feeling for the joy of seeing your loved ones again after months of loneliness caused by the pandemic) and the dancefloor-oriented "Tanz mit mir" (“Dance With Me”), that gives an idea of how much even computer-like voices can awaken desires and dreams.

Who are Fred und Luna?
"Fred und Luna" are two mannequins living in a fashion boutique in Karlsruhe, Germany. They serve as muse for musician, poet and photo/video maker Rainer Buchmüller.
Inspired by his doll friends and his love for German electronic music of the past decades, Rainer Buchmüller under the name “Fred und Luna” produces his self-created genres Elektrokraut and Krautelektro: both a modern adventurous journey with a combination of motorik beats, electronic soundscapes and elements of the Krautrock era.

Future Sounds Of Kraut Vol. 2, Teaser 2.

Label: Compost Records (https://soundcloud.com/compost)

Compiled by Fred und Luna ( https://soundcloud.com/fredundluna)

This is the 2nd teaser 2-track single taken from the upcoming compilation V.A. “Future Sounds Of Kraut Vol. 2” – compiled by Fred und Luna.

We’ve got awesome feedback, amazing quotes for Future Sounds Of Kraut Vol. 1, very good sales, too, so here is Vol. 2:
17 modern krauty electronic tracks (9 of them exclusive) inspired by Kraftwerk, Can, Neu!, Cluster, Harmonia, Klaus Schulze and many others. Curated and compiled by Compost artist Fred und Luna. The collage on the cover – like on Vol.1 - was exclusively made by the fantastic artist Norika Nienstedt from Kraut metropolis Düsseldorf.

Future sounds of Kraut, what’s it all about? Maybe Volume 2 will bring it to light for you...
It’s not easy at all or even impossible to define the musical genre “Kraut”. Nevertheless, Compost Records and Fred und Luna strike out on the path to find the diverse elements of German electronic music of the 1970s and 1980s and their effects on the new German and international music scene.
After the immense success of Volume 1 a follow-up volume was soon started, tying in stylistically with its predecessor and furthermore ‒ as this is one basic principle of the series ‒ expanding the musical spectrum by adding new krauty elements step by step. So now, besides stylistic followings to Volume 1, you will hear some more club oriented and experimental tracks. Feel free to listen and get krautified!

About Kosmischer Läufer /
In East Germany, way back in the early 1970s, Martin Zeichnete (Kosmischer Läufer) worked as a sound editor for DEFA (Deutsche Film AG). Like many young East Germans of the time he would listen furtively to West German radio at night and became infatuated with Kosmische Musik and Krautrock. “Spargelspiegel” was written back in 1982. Hitherto unreleased it was one of the songs Martin recorded for himself when he had some free time in the studio. He was planning to use it as part of his ‘Jahre der ruhigen Sonne” project but it fell by the wayside. Luckily it is now available exclusively on this compilation.

About Fred und Luna /
The curators of this compilation, live in a long-established fashion house in Karlsruhe/Germany. The two plastic mannequins are the muses of musician, author and photo/film maker Rainer Buchmüller, who calls his music either Elektrokraut or Krautelektro. “Monotonikum”, with its Detroit-styled Autobahn night drive feeling, was originally released on Optimo Music in 2016 and edited for this compilation.
