It will include tribute songs devoted to some of the inspiration sources of the band, like Fad Gadget, Cabaret Voltaire, Joy Division, etc. It will be new songs, composed 'in the syle of'...

Nothing But Noise: ‘Music For Muted TV 1’ - Exclusive Record Day 10' Release
Nothing But Noise, the trio led by Front 242 mastermind Daniel B, are spearheading a new series called ‘Music For Muted TV’.
The series is being curated by Daniel B and released through Future Noise Music. The first release is white 10” vinyl limited to 300 copies, which features two new compositions by Nothing But Noise, both running 11 minutes and 52 seconds and exclusive to Record Store Day.
Post Front 242, Daniel returned to his original analogue weapons with a more cinematic vision. Gestating for many years, Nothing But Noise, which also features original Front 242 member Dirk Bergen, plus Erwin Jadot, finally arrived last April with their acclaimed ‘Not Bleeding Red’ album. It was inspired by the likes of Manuel Gottsching, and Berlin-period Bowie, and created from rare, vintage analogue synthesizers.
These two new compositions strip away beats, leaving a lustrous soundscape recalling the weightless beauty of early Tangerine Dream and contemporary ambient explorers like Emeralds, Oneohtrix Point Never and Future Shuttle.
Nothing But Noise use analogue depth to conjure ethereal frequencies and stratospheric counter-melodies, sometimes underpinned by shimmering pulses. Halfway through side one, the track drops to intricate micro-melodies using stillness as a time-stopping instrument in itself. This distant atmospheric ambience continues on side two, infiltrated by glacial strings to become a kind of subtly majestic space symphony as multi-tiered pulses weave in. The track might even be considered a modern classical masterpiece.
“This music is made to watch TV with the sound muted (volume at zero). It will work well with images from movies or general TV and advertisements” says Daniel, who plans to follow it with further compositions and collaborations.
Mood music has just moved up another level.

AROMA DI AMORE
Aroma di Amore have always been outsiders, even within the confinement of the alternative rock circuit. Their peculiar blend of raw guitars, electronics, Dutch lyrics and unconventional song structures was too hybrid for many. Those however who, without prejudice, would lend an ear to the band’s music, discovered an energetic, authentic and uncompromising collective that stood above all trends. From beginning to end the nucleus of Aroma di Amore consisted of Elvis Peeters, who in an uninimitable, possessed way delivered his highly original lyrics, and Fred Angst, guitarist mastering the heaviest riffs as well as refined tapestries of sound.

DARK POEM
Faerie-lectro from Antwerp, Belgium. Their music is a reflection of the unconcious, the wondrous world of dreams, shadows and desires. Dark Poem wants to tell a story, discover reality behind reality and bring more beauty and wonder in this, sometimes ugly an miserable, world. Their songs can be a key with which the listener can open the door to his own inner magic world.
