Urbs - Toujours Le Même Film...

Reissue it is not! Found in a Parisian loft or basement it was not! 'Tourjours le méme film' was created and composed in a time long after the ideals and conformities pertaining to Paris in the 60's. The music is dramatic, romantic, mysterious, suspenseful. Often heroic in its ability to tell a personal truth unashamedly from the artist. The distinguishing facet of the album is the quality of being able to involve the listener. Engaged as a participant yourself, you find also stories, narration and recitals of that which has occurred past or present, or maybe even in the future. It's a wonderful and moving musical expression that is undeniably timeless. It was when Peter Kruder heard a six track demo that things really started to take shape for Paul Nawrata aka Urbs. Peter realising the warmth and sincerity in the compositions offered generously to mix down and co produce in his newly revamped vintage equipped studio. Hence this superlative album was born.

Madrid de los Austrias - Mas Amor

Heavy vino tinto, flamenco and other typical Andalusia flavours inspired the duo to their sound excursion combining a laid back laissez faire feeling with exotic rhythm shades. This second album and follow up to the acclaimed 'Amor' has all to become a future classic! The stunning result of a long and healthy production process. The boys went to Spain to record songs together with traditional flamenco artists. It's truly astonishing how worlds continue to collide in the electronic music world. The global village in action! Every imaginable cultural collage can be pasted together with amazing results!
Madrid de los Austrias, perfectly exemplify this multi-culti phenomenon. This fusion of traditional flamenco roots and the elaborate Madrid de los Austrias trademark sound proofs to be a perfect combination.
