In order to support the first Piano Day, Nils Frahm gives away a new "Solo" album on pianoday.org.
However, his final goal is to reach the creation of a very special piano, so you might consider supporting this project & paying for the download or ordering the album on vinyl or CD.
More information regarding this special, vertical piano can be found on pianoday.org.
‘Resonance’ marks the most prestigious moment so far in VNV NATION’s career. Years in the planning, the album features many of the best known VNV NATION songs, performed purely with orchestra and voice. No other studio instruments were used as the goal was to be as au- thentic as possible. Already very familiar with classical music, and taking much inspiration from it for their own songs, this is the album that VNV NATION have always wanted to make. The album was recorded with the world renowned Babelsberg Film Orchestra, at their historic studios in Potsdam, just outside Berlin, next to the stage where legendary movies like Fritz Lang’s ‘Metropolis’ were filmed. Only the best studios were used for the recording, mixing and mastering. The results speak for themselves and can only be described as majestic… This is a soundtrack to a film that has yet to be made. The album will be released on May 15th in a number of different formats - for a limited time, it will be available in a special CD-Digibook format, and then (once sold out) as a regular CD- digipak.

Super deluxe limited [400] 6 Vinyl box-set, reproducing all 3 official SPK live-CDs Field Rapport San Francisco, Case Study London and Paradiso) on 5 slabs of vinyl PLUS an exclusive 10" in a beautiful box. - All previously unreleased soundboard recordings from 1987, including one exclusive track: Germanik (Sydney April 21 1979) - 24 track digital recordings bounced to DAT. – Brian Williams (LUSTMORD) on this release: “For me, listening to these recordings is like going through an old photo album as they covered two periods when I was actively involved in SPK, either behind the scenes or as a member of the band onstage and which I’d mostly forgot about over time. 5 LP’s plus a 10” and like the CD’s of surprisingly good quality (…) SPK were a great band at times and also plain awful at other times in their history, but it’s good to reminisce about some fun moments in my own life and that part of the journey. I oversaw the reissues of the SPK albums on Mute Records in 1992 and I also recommend these recordings as a true representation of what SPK sounded like live.”
