The new album from And One – TANZOMAT
A new album from one of the most successful German synth-pop groups offers twelve times highly electrified harmony between EBM and pop music. Old fans of the band will appreciate that the multi-crafty mix strong again moved in the direction of the And One early works. With And One, you are getting what you came for. The new long player from Germany’s most successful synth pop group features twelve instances of highly electrifying euphony, balancing the scales between massive beat madness and the eternal quest for the holy grail pop.
The band recently released solo EP was “Zerstörer” – where the title track is completely separate and not included in the forthcoming full length album. During the year, it has also scheduled a number of live dates together with Camouflage, De / Vision and Minerve. The new album is released, in addition to the regular edition, in a double-disc edition * in digipak with accompanying bonus CD of live material
“Tanzomat” released March 4 via Out Of Line….
Gigantic tunes, big feelings and a more than healthy dose of rhythmic gymnastics in nice Bodypop-surround. Long-time fans of the band will appreciate the fact that the satire-tinged and versatile mix is very much going back to the roots of the early works of And One.
And One out with new EP
Besides the rather unusual “Bodypop 1½” and the “Live” releases in 2009 it’s been really silent with new material since the “Bodypop” album in 2006. 2011 sees the return of Steve Naghavi and crew in form of the single “Zerstörer”. As a treat of the upcoming studio album “Tanzomat”, scheduled for early March, this single comes with three new tracks aswell as three live versions recorded in 2010 aswell as the ‘rockabilly’ version of “Military Fashion Show” and a special mix of the title track.

And One, the popular synth-pop band from Germany, formed in 1989 after Chris Ruiz and Steve Naghavi met in a Berlin disco. They were both fans of Belgian EBM music, so they decided to play together, using only a drum machine and two keyboards, like their musical idols Depeche Mode had. Working together they compiled a demo tape that producer Jor, who was planning on starting a sub-label off of Modern Music, happened to like. The duo met success rather quickly after that, as they were the first signed band to Machinery Records. In 1990 they released their first single, «Metalhammer».
