Marge & The Marvellous – A Distant Dance [NMP002]
The second release of No More Pop features an obscure sideproject of the famous dutch minimal synth group “Ensemble Pittoresque”. Originally released on a promo compilation for local bands in 1984 called “De Wassenaarse Slag”, the single “A Distant Dance” is a truly unique journey into dutch synth wave. The composer and producer Ton Willekes and Paulus Wieland teamed up with Marga Visser for the vocals for their last creation before the final end of Ensemble Pittoresque. Besides the original version the record also features a special rework of the original Ensemble Pittoresque Demo of “A Distant Dance”, produced by Murphy Jax. On the remix front, the silvery Celina S resang the vocals for both Keen’s and Flemming Dalum’s remixes, which are shining due to their unique , dreamy and melancholic mood.
Alba – Philomena [AUBE010]
Alba with their first full 12” release. The triumvirate of Roland Sebastian Faber, Keen K and Label Owner Michael Künzer is a team that has been delivering the goods on labels such as Clone, Das Drehmoment and Viewlexx. The 12”, titled after Künzer’s one year old daughter, contains three tracks; Philomena 1-3. Each track has a different twist to it, showcasing what the able electronic Alba are capable of. “Philomena 1” is a cosmic synth fuelled work. There is a electro boogie within the bars of “Philomena 2” piece, but it is the electronic depth that rings true, while “Philomena 3” keeps the heavy synthesizer sound going.
