Berlin-based Melodic-Electro-group Solitary Experiments has prepared a special fan-treat for the mini-festival which celebrates the band's 20th anniversary on October 25th, 2014 in Berlin.

Special occasions are best celebrated among friends, which is why Solitary Experiments have asked a number of friends to put their own spin to the biggest hits from the latest outing „PHENOMENA.“ „The 20th Anniversary Compilation“ does not online contain the resulting remix work, but also the three best mixes to come out of the remix battle that the Berliners had initiated via Facebook. Also included is a smashing cover version of the Bronski-Beat-classic, which the band has treated to the trademark „Solitary-sound“ with loving care. The original tune was a massive influence on the group and pretty much the initial spark for trying to put together a music project. With a total playing time of 80 minutes, this release utilizes the maximum capacity of a standard Compact Disc and delivers almost one and a half hours of smashing, club-compatible remixes of some of the most popular Solitary-Experiments-tunes. Those that will be attending the event in Berlin and are there early enough might be in luck to receive a giveaway copy of this release at the door... for all the rest, „The 20th Anniversary Compilation“ is released as a Digital Download at a special bargain price and as a strictly limited pressing on CD.

Out now via Alfa Matrix is the 5-track single "Zeitgeist" by the classic electronic act Növö (aka Laurent Boudic). The single is the title track of the recently released 4th studio full length CD also entitled "Zeitgeist". It's the third single released from this album plunging us once again in Laurent Boudic's personal interpretation of the good old classic EBM / New Wave era and mixes darker and more experimental industrial side with the project's early EBM roots.

Besides a 7" and another extended mix, "Zeitgeist" also received the remix treatment by Flood Veyor, Franck Kartell as well as Denial Of Service. You can download this splendid new single via iTunes, Bandcamp and co.

Two years ago, X-RX (Pascal Beniesch and Jan Teutloff) were celebrating the release of their successful album “Activate the Machinez“. Since then, the band has been touring, including appearances at ALL biggest German festivals (WGT, M’era Luna, E-Tropolis, Amphi Festival)!

Touring alongside Aesthetic Perfection, they played for growing fan communities all across the globe, including the U.S., Mexico, Norway and Greece – celebrating along the way, since X-RX gigs are first and foremost about amping up the party! Thus, in 2014 the time was right for new material. Pascal Beniesch created a musical masterpiece using with well-known components and tried and true configurations. The result are 12 accessible songs, full of energy and power, ready to conquer the dancefloors once more! Crank it up! Full of bass, dynamics and the burning need to turn it up louder! Crank up the volume! The name captures the spirit! 

Following many excellent reviews for new album Weatherhouse (press quotes below), PHILIP SELWAY has just unveiled a brilliantly inventive video to new single 'Around Again' directed by acclaimed Spanish film-makers NYSU. Speaking about the video,

NYSU say "The song talks about the feeling of being always "around" the same place again, so we wanted to represent this... but literally. That's why we thought in a circular way to tell two parallel stories inside the same space and time. Deform the straight narrative line and make it a curve. We love to tell the classic movie script full of envy and revenge but in a complex visual language.

When hearing a tornado alarm most people would entrench themselves, but there are of course daredevils who would pull toward the tornado to make spectacular images. The sensational Into The Storm tells the story of an unusually strong storm from both points of view. The film was directed by Steven Quale (Titanic, Final Destination 5, Avatar), and we see Sarah Wayne Callies (The Walking Dead) and Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) in the main roles.

Into The Storm is available from 17 December on Blu-ray ™, DVD, Video on Demand and Digital Download.

SYNOPSIS

In the space of a single day, the town of Silverton is laid in ruins by the worst series of tornados. The whole city is a victim of the unpredictable and deadly cyclones, but tornado hunters predict that the worst is yet to come. Most residents seek shelter, but others are just rushing to the whirlwinds to find the final frontier. How far does a tornado hunter go to shoot the ultimate image of the storm?
