The album will be called “Ein Tag Am Meer” (“A Day At The Sea”) and features 11 brand new tracks with German lyrics, recorded in 2011 and 2012. If you like the “Sommerwind” 10”, this is another gem for you. Wonderful melancholic songs between Minimal-Electro and Synth-Pop.
The album is at the moment in the pressing plant and we hope it can be finally released around March, 1st.

Synopsis
Bilbo Baggins is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever... Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to...
The Snow Bunker Tapes’ are the original guitar/Totenpop versions of the thirteen songs that became the ‘Peaceful Snow’ album.
‘The Snow Bunker Tapes’ were recorded between December 2009 and July 2010 at Big Sound Studios, Adelaide, Australia, and are the original recordings that were given to Miro Snejdr to transcribe onto his piano. They eventually became the ‘Peaceful Snow’ album, which was released on 9 November, 2010. Although these songs were recorded in a studio setting, no track is as sonically “built” as most Death In June songs are. There are no samples, multi-tracked vocals, effects or even percussion, and studio editing has been kept to a minimum so you can hear talking between some tracks. Douglas P, in describing the material, said “To paraphrase one of Alan McGee’s favourite lines, ‘It’s pure (Toten) pop!’”
The CD and vinyl editions are packaged in deluxe glossy embossed gatefold covers. All vinyl editions include a large two-sided
Composer Ernst Horn's project HELIUM VOLA combines poetry with historical music and avant-garde, and looks back on 4 highly successful albums.
The classically trained pianist, composer and conductor Ernst Horn is mainly known from the pop projects that he co-founded: DEINE LAKAIEN, QNTAL and HELIUM VOLA.
The latter being a prime example of openness and imaginative variations between sound collages, sensitive ballads and discip- lined madrigals.
The album "Wohin?" ("Where to?") is another departure from the frontier. It combines medieval and new poetry with historical music and the electronic avant-garde.
Between the "framed" pieces "Nubibus artis" and "Aquil altera" there are more than two hours of Helium Vola's customary musical and emotional range with carefree dance songs that would find their friends in the clubs, a! nd tender sad love songs.
But again also political songs concerning blessing weaponry, Crusader slogans, the visions of a Welsh coal miner, and a lost Indian culture. All this plus an extended ensemble with soloists using old classical music, made new, and led by the outstanding singer Sabine Lutzenberger.
