The Girl & The Robot

As you can see, the blog is now happening - today, I want to introduce you to a new band: The Girl & The Robot - this duo: Deadbeat (from Sweden) and Plastique (from Germany) offer us wonderful synthpop at its best. Let me say it like this, if you enjoy Welle:Erdball, Second Decay, S.P.O.C.K and Client, you'll definetely not be disappointed when checking out either their debut EP 'Whole / Flowers' (which includes an excellent remix by Die Perlen) or the debutalbum 'The Beauty Of Decay'. Although the year is not that old, but I am convinced, the releases will end up high in my personal charts. A listening pleasure from beginning to the end! Check out their Myspace Page for snippets from 4 songs.

Blind Passenger

One of the best news so far of this year, was the announcement of the one and only Nik Page to play again as Blind Passenger - nope, I didn't miss the 's' of his former band (it is just Nik of the original lineup), but he decided to play some of the old classics again + record a new album 'Next Flight To Planet Earth' that is supposed to sound a bit like Blind Passengers could have sounded today if they hadn't gone into the electro-rock-metal direction in the late Nineties. Should be interesting what he'll come up with...
