Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Von Spar

5th anniversary reissue on white vinyl.

das fünfte album der kölner elektro-pop-indie-rock-postpunker von spar.

after having blessed the world with >soarex< released on our sublabel irr (international records recordings), including a remix by ada, we would now like to welcome von spar to areal. and this time, the remix comes from no other than techno legend john tejada. with >jon voight<, the hamburg-based artists have created another epic masterpiece in line with their earlier electronic tracks: great emotions, melodies you will never forget... in other words: a track that will send something of a shiver down your spine. tejada, of austrian decent now living in the united states, shows full respect for the original version and comes up with a remix that has proven immensely effective on the dancefloor. it so effective that we still find ourselves awestruck in the studio. well, in the meantime, we have to admit that we went out to one or two parties, but only to find ourselves back in the studio again, still awestruck.

it really is an unbelievable honour for us that we may release this fantastic track by von spar, a track that might as well be found on their outstanding album >foreigner< from 2010. maybe it is because we are such a big label and this crude, elegiac, and emotionally mighty sound of these guys fits just perfect for us. and whoever would like get out of this tunnel of infinite deepness should rely on the remix ada comes up with. trust is good-but no doubt, control is better.

foreigner is a science-fiction album chock full of trippy pop, which tumbles through unexplored terrain without forgetting to look in the rearview mirror and allowing the listeners enough room to use their own imagination. for fans of can, lcd soundsystem, mgmt, air, daft punk!

von spar is an artist collective from germany consisting of sebastian blume, jan philipp janzen, phillip tielsch and christopher marquez. the cologne-berlin quartet serves up a veritable ear-worm as an amuse bouche prior to their third album >foreigner<, which will be released at the end of may 2010 on italic recordings. the four deliver a rousing anthem enriched with a krauty disco groove and soulful close-harmony vocals for all of those late-night culture-vultures, oddballs and mother-in-laws nightmares propping up the bars at the discotheques of this world.

prekaere bonvivants, begnadete musiker, radikale typen, von spar sind vieles, vor allem aber eine der erstaunlichsten bands aus jenen gefilden, deren spannendere musik von den briten krautrock getauft wurde. sebastian blume, jan philipp janzen, christopher marquez und phillip tielsch wurden in der vergangenheit šfter als wiedergŠnger des genres gefeiert (u.a. lieferten sie 2012 gemeinsam mit stephen malkmus vor den augen der geruehrten can-gruendungsmitglieder irmin schmidt und jaki liebezeit eine neuinterpretation des albums ege bamyasi auf dem kšlner weekend festival), auch wenn sich die vier gleicherma§en von techno, synthpop, noise, postpunk und neuer musik inspirieren lie§en.

the second part of 17 records goldstein variationen contains the two album tracks geister and lass das mal den felix machen. the first track comes in remixed versions by sid lerock, von spar and a new station 17 edit. lass das mal den felix machen has been remix by cab drivers. do the math: 4 remixes, 5 tracks - for the price of a regular 12inch single!
