Maya's Moving Castle is the creation of a girl who grew up on a small farm, digging up insects and collecting butterflies. She started out playing an old cello at home. When she moved to the city, she became a multi-instrumentalist and started writing songs in her attic.
Driven by her imagination and experimentation, she created her own fantasy world. Meanwhile, the attic became a studio, and solo turned into a full-blown band.
Maya’s debut album is expected in the fall of 2012. Next Life is available on iTunes.
.A.S.'s Crime (the initials stand for "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime", a famous short novel by Oscar Wilde) is an electronic band from Siena (in the medieval tuscan, center of Italy) founded in 1984 by Sandro Marchetti (vocals, synthesizer, programming) and Maria Elena Brogi (vocals, synthesizers).
With a music sometimes soft, sometimes melancholic, but always fully electronic the duo from 85 to 89 L.A.S.'s Crime produced 5 demo tapes (Five Lies '85, Anomaly '87, Inanitas '87, Electa '88, Korobi '89) and a studio album (Abyss 43) registered at Sound City studio of Florence, but remained unreleased for label close.
During the five years of activity (85-89) the band had various additional members for the live concerts, but the original nucleous always have represented the true creative engine with more than 60 songs in a few years...Some of this songs have survived for 25 years exclusively for users' choice, spreading through the web. Today, thank to the italian label "Mannequin", 13 selected songs can have finally a new life on vinyl, giving to the listener a small piece of 80's remained intact...
Mannequin is proud to announce the reissue of one of the top minimal synth Holy Grails out of there. "Tanzmusik" is the first LP from Sam Rosenthal, boss of the historic Projekt Records label and mind of one of the most influential dark wave acts coming out of the US, Black Tape For A Blue Girl.
Originally released in March 1985 and completely recorded at home on a four-track TEAC-2340 with a super minimal setup (Korg Poly 61, Realistic Moog, Boss Dr-110 and some effects), the vinyl release was limited to 250 copies, with a tanish card glued to a white LP jacket The album continues in the "electronic mood-music" tradition established by Sam on the PROJEKT ELECTRONIC AMERIKA cassettes, with the added intriques of the drum-computer, exploring the realms of electronic music that the critics have compared to Tangerine Dream, O.M.D. and Brian Eno.
Sam Rosenthal is an American artist. He is the founder and leader of the band Black Tape For a Blue Girl and the record label Projekt Records (30th anniversary in 2013). He lives in Brooklyn with his son and cat. Black Tape for a Blue Girl, begin in 1986 after his move from Florida to California, serves as a vehicle for Rosenthal's musical vision. Its signature combination of gothic, ethereal, ambient and neo-classical elements has explored existential themes of loves lost and passions yet to come. After his early electronic work represented on "Tanzmusik", his music has grown into a full-fledged band, whose members revolve around Rosenthal's subtle electronic foundation.
In 1996, Rosenthal released his debut novel, The First Pain To Linger, which sold 10,000 self-released copies. In 2011, Rosenthal began work on his second book, Rye, an erotic novel which will be self-published in the fall of 2012.
