DIE FORM :: NOIR MAGNETIQUE

Por volta do dia 29 de Maio sai o novo album de DIE FORM "Noir Magnetique".

No site da banda este novo album é definido como:

“Noir Magnétique” is one of the group’s most accessible and dance floor compatible releases, ever, easily matching their most successful club hits, it still sports an absolutely unique sound and artistic vision. The album expertly continues the path Die Form took with last year’s smashing single “Her(t)z Frequenz” (which is also featured on the album in a new mix) with strong beats, enticing melodies, cold sounds and a constant tug-o-war between harsh emotional coolness and pure, innocent beauty."

De resto, são pormetidas várias e diversas edições, umas mais luxuosas do que outras, inclusive edições que ofertam o single 7¨ "Kobol". Agora, é esperar...

DIE FORM :: BEST OF XXX

Saiu agora mesmo, no fim de Outubro este Best Of de DIE FORM de edição altamente limitada, para comemorar os 30 anos de carreira deste profícuo projecto.

A ideia foi a seguinte:

"With a unique multimedia-based approach and intriguing sound design, legendary French art-Electro-project DIE FORM is a one-of-a-kind experience.
To adequately celebrate three decades of their extraordinary and extreme art, Philippe F. and Eliane P. are releasing a very special box set, titled “BEST OF XXX”, which includes the most powerful and well-known rhythmic titles that have been the foundation for the creative duo’s continuing success. All of the timeless tracks have been completely reworked, rearranging and re-recording all the machines and original elements (sequencers, drum machines, analog- & digital synthesizers, samplers, tapes and effects) and Eliane’s vocals, using current state-of-the-art technology. Special care has been taken to leave the spirit and the force of the original recordings intact, while significantly improving the overall quality. This project is addressed to the connoisseurs as well as to a new audience eager to discover the exceptional sonic universe of DIE FORM.
“BEST OF XXX” will be released as a strictly limited double CD in a deluxe Edition in leather-look with silver embossing print, and containing a bonus disc with rare and unreleased tracks plus a luxurious booklet with deluxe prints of the best photographic works from Philippe Fichot." in http://www.outofline.de/content/newsletter/newsletter02100802.html

DIE FORM :: HER[T]Z FREQUENZ (2008)

Já por aí corre um novo single de DIE FORM, projecto de Philippe Fichot, já clássico na cena alternativa europeia.

Acerca deste single, lê-se no site http://www.dieform.net/ :

"With their new single “Her(t)z Frequenz”, Die Form are now returning their concept art to the clubs. A driving beat builds the foundation for an energetic interplay between Fichots cold, electronically manipulated vocals and Eliane P.’s mesmerising, fairy-like melodies. The title track is a cunning combination of the catchiest grooves ever to be found on a Die-Form-release and the hypnotic interaction between coldness and emotions that has always been the unique trademark of this project. The b-side is a re-recorded version of the classic “Bite of God” which features new beats and more dominant female vocals and builds up to a magnificent rhythmic crescendo at the end – a stunning appetizer for the upcoming compilation of the group’s best tracks in newly recorded versions. The single is rounded off by exclusive remixes and alternative versions. With “Her(t)z Frequenz”, Die Form prove yet again that they are an absolutely unique act in today’s club scene and are bound to put an entire new generation under their spell."

Eu, pessoalmente, gosto muito da faixa original de "Bite of God", que neste single é apresentada com roupagens mais confortáveis e atenuadas (tanto o remix, como o "alter ego" "Bite of Hod").

Fica a tracklist:

01 Her(t)z Frequenz
02 Her(t)z Frequenz (Alt Mix)
03 Bite Of God (Rmix1)
04 Bite Of Hod (Rmix2)
