Mario Schonwalder & Rothe – Filter-Kaffee 106 (Instock) https://www.groove.nl/shop/mario-schonwalder-rothe-filter-kaffee-106/?v=796834e7a283  All tracks composed, arranged and performed by Frank Rothe and Mario Schönwälder. Guitar on “Kaltwasserhahn” played by Thomas “Tom” Köhler. The tracks 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 were recorded between January and December 2023 at “The Room” in Berlin. The track 4 was recorded during a live session on 25th March 2023 at Frank´s place. The “Weltmaschine” (World Machine) was built between 1958 and 1981 by the Austrian farmer Franz Gsellmann. A machine without a function, but perhaps with a life of its own. For us, it is a fascinating document of a man’s will to create something that came into his head.

During his time in Kraftwerk, he helped create the stunning track ‘Metropolis’, directly inspired by a band viewing of the classic 1927 Fritz Lang film of the same name. The original orchestral music composed for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari by Giuseppe Becce had long been lost and in 2005, after watching the film, Bartos imagined what it would be like to create an entirely new one in the 21st Century in his home studios in Hamburg. Now with crystal clear images, digitally restored by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Foundation, the film is visually the best quality it has ever been, and now, with Bartos’ soundtrack, there is impressive sound to go with the haunting vision. ========================================================== Karl Bartos – Off the Record https://www.groove.nl/shop/karl-bartos-off-the-record/?v=796834e7a283 Karl Bartos – Communication https://www.groove.nl/shop/karl-bartos-communication/?v=796834e7a283  2 releases of Karl Bartos in the catalog, great music from the former Kraftwerk musician. ========================================================== Mark Jenkins & Damo Suzuki – The Damo Suzuki Sessions https://www.groove.nl/shop/mark-jenkins-damo-suzuki-the-damo-suzuki-sessions/?v=796834e7a283  The MODULAR SESSIONS SPECIAL EDITION series of CD-only releases continues with a 20th anniversary re-issue for “Live At The Queen Elizabeth Hall” with CAN singer DAMO SUZUKI, MARK JENKINS on keyboards and a full krautrock band as Damo Suzuki’s Network. Already announced for re-issue, this title has been brought forward slightly given Damo’s very sad passing in Feb 2024, with a contribution from all sales to colon cancer research. If you wished there was a fifth Damo album with Can to join the legendary “Soundtracks”,”Tago Mago”, “Ege Bamyasi” and “Future Days”, this may be the CD for you. =========================================== Festival info The DIODE Electronic Music Festival / VIRTUAL TICKET https://www.groove.nl/shop/the-diode-electronic-music-festival-virtual-ticket/?v=796834e7a283 Peter Challoner, David Wright & Ron Boots welcome you to the DIODE Electronic Music Festival.
