Take Berlin

Brooklyn/Berlin based duo Take Berlin, met during a backstage encounter at the Baltic Soul Festival, now they talk about new track ‘Motion , a slice of their shiningly timeless, lo-fi folk and dream pop infused bliss, lifted from their new album titled ‘Schoharie’, released via Pancake Assassin. We wrote ‘Motion’ quite a while ago. It never made it on the first EP because we weren’t really sold on the production back then - but we always felt it s a strong song so when we wrote the second record, we tried a new approach and that’s what it sounds like now.

Here is the ultimate synchronisation of details and events which signalled the last six months of the greatest conflict the world has ever known. It involved over 100 countries, it killed 50 million people and absorbed six years of struggle and bloodshed for the peoples of half the globe.

2009 CD/DVD live release from the veteran Synth Pop band fronted by Terri Nunn includes a bonus DVD. Berlin's Electro-Pop sound features the enduring and assertive voice of Nunn, which is why All The Way In is the most preferable place to hear this Los Angeles-based group's music. Berlin made its first national impression with the provocative single 'Sex (I'm A…)' from the gold-selling debut EP Pleasure Victim in 1982. The Synth-soaked punch of 'No More Words' from 1984's Love Life album and the number one ballad 'Take My Breath Away' from the film Top Gun are the album's high points. Berlin's '80s poignancy provided some rather palatable music, even if the charts didn't say so. Songs like 'Dancing In Berlin' and 'Scream' could compete with anything Depeche Mode or Duran spouted at the time, and the range of Nunn's vocals elevated most of Berlin's efforts above the norm of the run-of-the-mill synthesizer glitz. All The Way In captures Berlin at their best in front of a hometown Los Angeles crowd.
