Kite
It was supposed to come out last winter, but now it’s finally on its way – we’re talking about the second EP from synthpop duo Kite. The product (CD and 12″, mid October) is simply called “2” and holds five tracks, including the cover “I Give You the Morning”. Anders Alexander from Alice in Videoland has been handling the mixing and Andreas Tilliander the mastering.
Kite’s debut EP was released nearly one year ago and got a nine in Release.
Rammstein
The press release promises that the new Rammstein single “Pussy” is an “Autobahn of German cliches”. Rest assured, the song is “carried by a gigantic wave of testosterone”. The 2 track digipak includes the title track and the B-side “Rammlied”. The release date is September 18, and the Jonas Åkerlund directed video will premiere two days earlier. The new album is scheduled for October.

I will never be 80's synthpop nostalgic again – after this
Found this video on Matrixsynth while I was listening to some old synthpop classics on my iPhone and a minute later I stopped listening to my iPhone – my nostalgia tour came to a serious halt. Synthpop wasn´t better in the 80’s, hehe
Well you might enjoy the ARP Pro-DGX featured, but that is about it
Check this out (remeber those old dance moves, yikes):

Old school EBM guys Tyske Ludder are back
June 5 marks the release of the new album “Anonymous” from German old school EBM veterans Tyske Ludder. The first edition comes as a numbered digibox including special packaging, poster booklet, signed autograph card and a metal pin.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJqUxybSxqw]
IIn the beginning of the 90s Tyske Ludder set the course for their work as pioneers in the european E:B:M and Darc-Electro scene. Coming up from the Wave- and New-Romantic scene they developed very early their meditations on the predominance of technology in our society. Nightmarelike visions of the then-raging war in Yugoslavia as well as the recurring military enforcement of the United States’ claim for world domination represent the other thematic constant in the work of the German Whore. Through the years their musical model developed from heavy Electro-Sounds to some kind of ominous dance music somwhere between Industrial and the aroma of a nuclear blast.
In a unique melting procedure the band around vocalist Albert-X was again and again able to produce avant-industrial dimensions of sound which very often divided the followers into two enemy camps. That is how altogether three album originated in the mid 90s.
The scarce live gigs of the four electro-activists constitute the third column of the concept of Tyske Ludder.
At the beginning of our new millennium it has become very calm around Tyske Ludder. Disagreement on the further development of the band’s musical blueprint and colliding conflicts of interest made this step necessary.
In 2004 the band started working on new material and in the same year they were back on stage. Since November 2005 T.L belongs to the blackrain-family and released their new album „Sojus“ the fans watched out for a long time. The limited first edition, including a bonusmaterial disc, was sold out after a few days.
The band will offer the new album at Wave Gotik Treffen, where they also will perform live. Summer Darkness in The Netherlands and M’era Luna in Germany are two other stops ahead.
