Looking back at the Electronic Circus festival, which I and hundereds more were visiting on October 15th to enjoy a fabulous day in Die Weberei. A perfect location, and a perfect line up that turned out to be even better than expected. Glenn made a wonderful opener to the Circus, taking us back to the best years of Jarre transposed into the future. A total surprise to me, and actually my winner of that day, were Schroyder,Skrzek, and Alien Voices, who left me totally stunned wrt. their performance and musical greatness. Unfortunately, no recordings available yet, but I will surely see to put my hands on it. Wave world and Picture Palace music both did very fine performances, overall a magnificent mix of music from traditional to post-rock, spanning from relaxing music and totally getting pushed to ones electronic limits.
The Circus also was the birthplace for at least 17 new releases, some of which I will present on tonight's episode. Amongst these releases were albums by Alien Nature, F.D.Project, Kikai, Matzumi, René vd. Wouden, Synth.nl, Uwe Reckzeh, and Wellenfeld. Furthermore, we take an ear on the upcoming release by moonbooter and close with Stefan Erbe, introducing a soon to come event surely also top notch and available tickets.
