Easter Warning

Sticking out our cute nose the last day of March with a WARNING: do not, we repeat NOT, buy this album:

Why not you ask and we have the answer to that question: it's UGLY! Pure utter crap with a hideous cover and 13 (yes, we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw that) songs that turns everyone who listens to them into a walking dead state of mind. If you're one of those who are into self-torturing and have an hour of your life not knowing what to do with, just download it. Gahan and his gang have enough money, more than enough, so we recommend bying this one instead:

Whaddya mean you can't find it? How is that our problem? Show some initiative for synth's sake!

NEWSFLASH

Yup, it's always when you think all is calm and you can sit down, lie down or stand on your forehead listening to your new CD's that it happens. More nice music are released. We just got news about a new Pouppée Fabrikk EP which is available for listening and downloading from Alfa Matrix Bandcamp page. Perfect warm up listen for their forthcoming album "The Dirt" scheduled for release in May 2013.

Beobachter Introduction

Howdy GOOD music lovers and welcome to the first inlay presented by the Elektronische Beobachter a.k.a me. First out is a German group that wasn't supposed to be anymore than a one-song project back in 1992; Lights of Euphoria; with the following line-up: Torben Schmidt (instruments) and Jimmy Machon (vocals). The song I picked is called Schwarze Sonne which is kinda strange when the song is in English but nevertheless a nice one. You can read more about the Black Sun below.
Disclaimer: Lights of Euphoria and its members does not have any connections to the Black Sun other than the title of this song. As far as I know.)

The term Black Sun (German Schwarze Sonne), also referred to as the Sonnenrad (German for "Sun Wheel"), is a symbol of esoteric or occult significance. Its design is based on a sun wheel incorporated in a floor of Wewelsburg Castle during the Nazi era. Today, it may also be used in occult currents of Germanic neopaganism, and in Irminenschaft or Armanenschaft-inspired esotericism - but not necessarily in a racial or neo-Nazi context. Despite its contemporary use, the Black Sun had not been identified with the ornament in the Wewelsburg before 1991, although it had been discussed as an esoteric concept in neo-Nazi circles since the 1950's.

Marshall break

We must be the most decent and well-behaved organisation on planet Earth when we break up from our free Sunday today to give you the following news: Krystal System have plans to make a second video to one of the songs from last album Rage. Title song video have been on display on our plasma screen all week, sometime with and sometime without sound, and presented here earlier. Yes, two staff members think Bonnie is the cutest singer slash guitar woman now alive and the expectations skyrocketed for the next video from Rage that will be I Wanna Be. If we're real lucky they also make a video to Fantôme, my favourite song. Here's a samplemix of both songs:

I Wanna Be and Fantôme sample

Both Bonnie and 7 are worth a break after their good work with the new album Rage that have been playing on three devices since we picked it up on Sound pollution March 15: stereo, smartPhone and laptop. Since we don't write reviews like most critics, who we think are morons, all you get from us is one word: GOOD. Move your butt off the chair where it's placed and visit your record dealer and buy it, downloading it does not cope!

When in Stockholm

Since we have faith in you, our readers, we won't run around like horny foxes telling you what NOT to do when in Stockholm because you already know that. So we jump right to the poodles core (Swedish expression) and present three places that you MUST visit when you're here and if you already are a citizen of course. In no particular order they are:

Sound pollution - located in what some people call the heart of Stockholm; the Old town; this is where we started bying records when we came to our senses musically sometime ago since it was the only store (that we knew of) back then with a decent selection in stock. Today it's not alone but they still have the largest number of GOOD music titles.

Exterior evening view

Delicious Goldfish Records - located a bit outside Stockholm; in Solna; you find the largest of the three when we're talking floor space and a very large collection of vinyls, both new and used. Nice prizes on new CD's together with a very cunning and friendly staff, including the owner, makes the journey here (20 minutes from T-Centralen) worthwile.

Interiour view

Kollaps Records - located in Södermalm we find the latest (opened in February) and the smallest of the three. We can recommend this shop to the real geeks that still listen to cassettes when they have quite a collection of these, old relics? We only know ONE person who listen to cassettes today, the year 2013. You know who you are.... :)

Adresses and opening hours on store's website respectively.

Haus Mix Eins

For some it's the most tedious work of all but it has to be done sooner or later. We have found that doing it later makes it more tedious than doing it sooner and if you do it while listening to music it's a walk in the park. Whoever came up with that expression must've been either bored stiff or a total bore because it suxx but it's the only one we know so we'll stuck with it. What it is that's so tedious? Cleaning your house/apartment of course. Since we are such nice beings we have made a mix of five great songs that will put a smile on your face while vacuuming, dusting, dishwashing (is that a word?) or whatever you're doing. Hope you like it, took us all together 2 days putting it together...
