CD1 is a collection of Schmidt’s solo work over the past 30 years and CD2, curated by long-term collaborator Wim Wenders, compiles Schmidt’s film and television soundtrack work.
The press release notes that “Schmidt’s sound-trips combine what normally competes and conflicts: rock, pop, jazz, classic, electronic, ambient, drum ‘n’ bass, waltz, eastern”.
Ahead of its release on November 4th via Mute and Spoon, Mute is offering a stream of six very different and very excellent tracks off Villa Wunderbar. We are in for a treat.
The Oscillation share first new track from forthcoming third album
From Tomorrow, the upcoming third album from psych krautrockers The Oscillation, arrives later this month via Hands in the Dark / All Time Low.
Here’s how the press release describes the effort:
“From Tomorrow is an attempt to find some kind of new mental and spiritual zones, away from the psychological effects of the modern urban landscape, and the curious emptiness of the digital social world that we are forced to inhabit.
The introversion of these bleak and unsettling conditions are reflected back as music with all the ambiguous emotions of hope, despair, aggression, indolence and narcoleptic bliss.
These are the preconditions for the sonic world presented on “From Tomorrow”. This is music that on one side has been chewed by the teeth of insanity and spat out into a strange landscape, whilst the other is basking in the warmth of a mysterious inner sun.
The Oscillation have previously unveiled a couple of album teasers but now we are getting a full taste of ‘No Place To Go’, one of the tracks off From Tomorrow ahead of its release on September 30th. The track comes with fittingly added visuals, made by the bands’ own Julian Hand. Check it out below.
