"This mix of almost DAF-esque electro with all sorts of chamber instruments, fluctuating between post-thirties beats and modern club grooves, is a tremendously entertaining ride full of humor, short stories, and essentially what Neue Deutsche Welle culminates in. It all comes together in the glorious synthesis of the arts that is Rummelsnuff."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first time in the German album charts! "Dear gals and chaps, Captain Rummelsnuff thanks you for the loyalty you kept him through the calm and stormy times," says the joyfully, surprised Captain.
Out Of Line Music congratulates Captain Rummelsnuff & Asbach and the crew on this achievement and extends a big thank you to all of their loyal fans and affiliates.
On the new album, the captain sings about the delicious sweet dish "Eiorschägge" and "Sauerkraut". The latter, by the way, is Rummelsnuff's first "real" a cappella song: "A song like an old folk melody, as if it had always been there," he describes it aptly. A firm pinch of humor is of course not missing – the side effects of the vitamin-rich vegetables are known to all and are musically underlined by "the woody heights of the captain's bassoon". "Zeppelin", a story about the "whales of the air", leaves the maritime cosmos of Rummelsnuff and exudes a touch of the Thirties. In "Bootsmann", a "very rummelsnuff-like shanty," you "patiently sail over the long waterways of the inland". Of course, the electronic "Feuerwehr", "Müllabfuhr", which is equipped with its cozier beats and "Kreuzheben" get things really going. Suppose you want to get the steeled Rummelsnuff at home in a miniature. In that case, you should secure the limited box - as a little and limited fleet of 12cm hand-painted figurines of the captain are waiting for you – together with the CD and cassette (!) – to get into the loving hands of their affectionate owners. "Äquatortaufe" to touch and with all the senses.

On this day, 31 years ago, MOEV released it’s fourth album, Head Down (8 august 1990). It was their last album released on Nettwerk Records and the last one featuring singer Dean Russell, who died in 1994 of complications due to AIDS. In an interview Dean Russell once explained what the name of the band meant, he stated that " Mauve - M.A.U.V.E is a pretty purplish pink, and Moev - M.O.E.V. is the colour of insanity". After Dean's passing the band took a 10 years break and returned in 2011 with a new studio album Ventilation. In 2014 released their, up to today, latest album "One Minute World, albeit only in digital format.
The album features Sarah McLachlan on backing vocals on a few tracks.

Darkwave/Alternative Band VASELYNE Drops 'Waiting To Exhale' - A Story Of Perseverance
Darkwave/alternative band VASELYNE has just unveiled their new digital maxi-single for the track, "Waiting To Exhale."
"Waiting To Exhale" tells a story of breaking free from whatever is holding you back. Moving on, transforming into someone or something new. Whether that’s a unhealthy relationship, not being able to be your true self, the listener is invited to decide what that means to them.
The video sees Yvette walking through forests and dunes, a heavy cape trailing behind her. "Carrying the weight on my shoulders whilst I walk towards the sea. Morphing into a butterfly. But do I transform or disappear?"
"Waiting To Exhale" is available in digital format on VASELYNE's Bandcamp page.
For fans of: Darkwave, Coldwave, Ambient and Alternative music
Industrial band PANIC LIFT return after a three-year hiatus with Split, the first in five thematically connected EPs: a release cycle that will span into 2022. The follow-up to 2018's End Process, PANIC LIFT presents two blistering new songs on Split, each harkening back to different corners of the dark music spectrum.
Each EP in the five-part series features two original tracks and two remixes from different artists. PANIC LIFT intends to have each new release accompanied by a limited-edition physical product, which will change with each release. Split was released as a limited-edition physical cassette tape limited to 50 copies worldwide.
PANIC LIFT brings these releases independently, in association with longtime friends and collaborators PRIMORDIAL MUSIC.
Split features a synthwave inspired remix of "Tribute" from EBM juggernauts GRENDEL and an electro-funk rework of "Nowhere Fast" from the techno wizardry of WESENBERG, who is better known to the world as Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg from ROTERSAND.
The aptly titled "Tribute" is an EBM dance floor thumper reminiscent of some of the legends of the genre, all while incorporating PANIC LIFT's trademark juxtaposition of soaring clean vocals and guttural screams.
“Nowhere Fast” is an industrial rock assault reminiscent of the machine rock heydays of the mid-90s. These two songs pay homage to the legends that inspired PANIC LIFT vocalist and songwriter James Francis to begin writing music over 20 years ago. “I’ve found the material in these releases serve as a love letter to this genre of music” proclaims Francis.
