Der Neue Mensch
The idea for Homo Futura came back in 2003 by Hannes Malecki (Honey of Welle: Erdball), Frl. Plastique (Welle: Erdball, The Girl & The Robot) and F. Liechtenstein. In 2009 Kevin Gross joined who also is known from Konsequentfilm, ES and Xrossive.
The project has since 2004 appeared on several compilation albums and played live in Scotland, Switzerland, Holland and Germany – including during the 2006 Wave Gotik Treffen. Homo Futura transforms the scene to Dr. Frankenstein’s classic laboratory and working around the very different theatrical themes. The album “Der Neue Mensch” is a compilation album, when most of the songs played live long and been on several compilations.
Der Neue Mensch “is released May 23 via SPV / Synthetic Symphony.

And there is some good news coming in from SPV. With Sony Music Entertainment Germany backing up the Hanover-based independent music company SPV, Sony Music had already started distributing a large part of SPV’s repertoire on the latter’s behalf starting October 1, 2009. They now also announced approximate release dates for several of their more famous electro signings. More details of these releases after the jump!
The extensive partnership with Sony will have a duration of several years and includes an option for Sony Music to buy SPV in the end. The partnership was the only way of maintaining the company’s business operations up until the present day. SPV has been in business for 25 years. Up until its insolvency, it had over 80 employees and generated sales of more than €80 million ($113.7 million) a year.
In May 2009 the German label SPV had sent out a message to its business partners saying that they had to initiate insolvency proceedings.
