We've got awesome feedback, amazing quotes for Future Sounds Of Kraut Vol. 1, very good sales, too, so here is Vol. 2: 17 modern krauty electronic tracks (9 of them exclusive) inspired by Kraftwerk, Can, Neu!, Cluster, Harmonia, Klaus Schulze and many others. Curated and compiled by Compost artist Fred und Luna. The collage on the cover - like on Vol.1 - was exclusively made by the fantastic artist Norika Nienstedt from Kraut metropolis Düsseldorf. Future sounds of Kraut, what's it all about? Maybe Volume 2 will bring it to light for you…It's not easy at all or even impossible to define the musical genre "Kraut". Nevertheless, Compost Records and Fred und Luna strike out on the path to find the diverse elements of German electronic music of the 1970s and 1980s and their effects on the new German and international music scene.

Zum Inhalt des Albums Auszüge aus einem Gespräch mit den Künstlern: "Was wollen Sie beide dem Publikum als Herzensbotschaft mit dieser Aufnahme mitgeben? Sarah Brady: Wir möchten zu einer lebensnahen Reise quer durch alle Aspekte der Liebe einladen. Frauenliebe und -leben endet mit dem Tod des geliebten Mannes, und es ist uns sehr wichtig, hier einen neuen Optimismus in den Raum zu stellen: Einen Optimismus, der zeigt, dass die geliebten Menschen auch nach dem Tod immer in unseren Herzen und in unseren Leben bleiben, auch wenn sie physisch nicht mehr unter uns sind.

This year, GENUIN and the German Music Council, together with Deutschlandfunk Kultur, are once again presenting a prizewinner of the German Music Competition: clarinetist Lyuta Kobayashi. Not only has he been successful in this competition, he has already won several prizes despite his young age. In his program of works by Johannes Brahms, Jörg Widmann, Robert Schumann, and the klezmer clarinetist Helmut Eisel, he will be accompanied by the no less talented pianist Julian Emanuel Becker, who this year was the youngest participant to win a prize at the 32nd St Albans International Organ Competition (UK).

Wagner's Tristan und Isolde is the opera in which "Richard once wanted to be completely symphonic," as his wife Cosima wrote. The Soloist Ensemble D'Accord, which features top international young musicians and whose special focus is on great music in a small format, presents this groundbreaking work in an extremely successful and gripping one-hour chamber music paraphrase for string septet by Martina Trumpp. It has (rightly) conquered a place on stages all over the world shortly after its premiere by the Soloist Ensemble D'Accord.

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Mikko Franck continue their collaboration with Alpha and here invite one of the label’s flagship pianists, Nelson Goerner. The programme is devoted to Richard Strauss, coupling several of the German composer’s early works.

Closer investigation of the roots and history of the Quartet, which was composed in 1824, reveals traces of all three of the so-called fine arts. The title “Death and the Maiden” reaches far back into the history of art. In the early 16th century, Hans Baldung Grien produced particularly impressive paintings and drawings on the theme of confrontation between life and death, symbolically embodied by a young girl and a skeleton. Published in 1774, the poem by Matthias Claudius succinctly presents the encounter in two verses that engage in mutual dialogue: on the one hand, the young woman in fear of death, and on the other, the skeletal man, whom Claudius transforms into an entirely positive figure through his soothing words.

Ultimae proudly presents the new album by Cell called "Onwards System" ; a dazzling call drawn from experience. Ambient by nature, it is the latest portent of a certain musically crafted world of emotions and sensations. French composer Alexandre Scheffer unbars a marvel of intricate yet minimalist and elemental compositions. Through the 10 chapter story, the artist intertwines layers of subdued downtempo within crispy electronics, hinting at our fragility with resolve while reaching out beyond genre boundaries with unfathomable talent.

This album showcases the expressive artistry of pianist Anna Reichert as she explores the intimate and evocative works of Swiss composer Johann Carl Eschmann.
