Of course, there were many rumors, but today it is officially announced: Minuit Machine has split up.
This is the band’s official statement:
We are deeply sad to announce that Minuit Machine has come to an end as we have decided to take different paths.
You can't imagine how grateful we are for the love and support you gave us those last few years. Unforgettable memories, intense emotions…
We are proud of the journey we've accomplished and we're hoping our music will live on as long as possible. Our albums will still be available on the digital platforms and on Bandcamp together with all our merch left.
Much Love
Hélène & Amandine
The Legendary Pink Dots are delighted to announce the forthcoming release of their new album Pages Of Aquarius on Metropolis Records.
They promised us so much...
Naked hippies and soma fountains and patchouli rain from candy floss clouds and flowers and the summer that would never end. The Age of Aquarius.
The Age of Harmony and understanding and tolerance. Say it softly, like an Aquarian, The Age of....Love. The Age of Love and HAIR.
Page One Aquarius. How does it look out there?
Bad hair, no hair. Covered up. Walls. And God is everywhere, splashed in red across those walls, And the fountains are dry, the ocean is full and they're dragging the lost from the depths of the sea and tying them up with wire.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Are we in for 2,160 years of this?
I'm an Aquarian. I believe in this crazy stuff and I visualise big old Pisces lying there, dying there. Huge, wounded, angry because no-one helps and every hot feverish cry brings a new storm, and every kick shakes the planet to it's core. Big old Pisces. Huge but invisible so no-one sees him except the irritating baby that tickles his nose with an oily feather.
Page 2,000 Pisces, the end of the cycle and it hurts.
It can't last.
Page One Aquarius.
The World is Beautiful. Blessed be. - EK
The Legendary Pink Dots are an Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in 1980. Although far outside the mainstream, LPDs have released more than 40 albums, have a devoted worldwide following, and tour frequently. Distinctive vocals and lyrical imagery blended with hypnotic guitar and synth washes and spellbinding bass pulses to create an enthralling, captivating release.
B-Wave is proud to announce another great act for the B-Wave Festival: NOTHING BUT NOISE !
Nothing But Noise is a Belgian trio and consists of Dirk Bergen (ex-Front 242), Erwin Jadot and Daniel B (Front 242 member), who returned to his original analogue weapons with a more cinematic vision.
Their first release “Not Bleeding Red” immediately became a highly acclaimed album and was available on CD and vinyl. Especially for “Record Store Day” they released “Music for Muted TV” and was only available as a 10 inch vinyl disc. Several performances followed in those years and now, in 2016, B-Wave is proud to have NOTHING BUT NOISE live on stage!
