Германский дуэт LIQUID DIVINE дебютировал на лейбле Infacted Recordings очень увлекательным по звучанию и футуристическим по духу альбомом "Interface". Christian Fritzsche и Guido Stoye сразу заняли особое место среди других команд своего лейбла, в основном нацеленных на быстрое и жесткое клубное звучание. В песнях немцев много гладких и чувственных синтезаторных мелодий, также часто используются массивные пространственные вокодеры а-ля KRAFTWERK (хотя мужской голос в чистом виде также звучит органично и гипнотизирующе), плотные последовательности юрких битов и экспериментальные drum-n-bass структуры.

Liquid Divine is an interesting formation. Starting in 2005 with their “Interface”-cd they rather left me skeptical. “Black Box” coming next in 2007 the band revealed an interesting progression into deeper electro-ambient sound universes. Having just released their 3rd full length Liquid Divine launches their most achieved piece of work to date. They remain quite faithful to a typical space-type of electronic music, but the songs now became more danceable and pop-like.

Lonely Robot is not a band so much as a project, a project conceived and helmed by veteran guitarist and singer/songwriter John Mitchell. Mitchell is probably best known these days as long serving guitarist for British progressive rockers Arena and for replacing previous front man Francis Dunnery in much-loved 1980s progressive rock legends It Bites, who returned to active duty in recent years following a lengthy hiatus. Mitchell has also enjoyed time as a collaborator in progressive rock supergroups Frost* and Kino, and has made numerous guest appearances with other bands, notably the Milton Keynes-based Touchstone, who he has also produced. In short, Mitchell is a bit of a renaissance man, equally at home on both sides of the studio wall and with a sizeable list of credits as a songwriter, producer and performer. Mitchell sings for the first time on the album here; for those who haven’t heard latter-day It Bites or Mitchell’s earlier work with The Urbane, it may come as a surprise that he is a very capable vocalist, his gritty voice recalling the likes of Ray Wilson and latter-day Peter Gabriel.

Igor Markevitch's Tchaikovsky performances have been among the best since the early '60s. He turned the unruly London Symphony Orchestra into a first-rate Tchaikovsky ensemble, in which a finely disciplined approach to rhythm provides the perfect foundation for some highly expressive music-making. The neglected Third Symphony is particularly cogent and exciting in Markevitch's hands.

German-Tanzanian jazz singer Lyambiko burst onto Berlin's music scene in 1999 after a music-oriented upbringing. The multi-talented performer brought together her skills of singing and playing piano to stages all over Berlin, slowly gathering attention as an urgent new talent. By 2001, she was fronting a jazz quartet that began touring throughout Germany, then Europe and abroad. Lyambiko has been heralded as one of the strongest voices to emerge on the jazz scene in a long time. She has since released seven albums with her quartet, reaching the top of the jazz charts in international circuits.
