he sound of the New Wave band Bauhaus seems to make it's way into several releases nowadays. We are not talking about samples but the dark romantic feeling of this period. Moonbeam's track “Distance” carries this haunted and ghostly feeling of the 80ies, the chill of cold steel and rooms with little light from candles. Sure it would not be a Moonbeam track if there were not the spine-tingling melodies which have always been the strength of their music. New is their approach of slicing up a theme and starting with another... this is new school for sure!. Also “The Underwater World” dedicates itself to the night... but slowly transforms, making its way into daylight. As sounds fly like “robotic bats”, big basslines will flood the track, cogs will turn, new sounds will uncurl... we see another magic track by the duo Moonbeam evolve here. This tracks dives headlong into deep, dubbed techno, soaked in bass while at the same time unbelievable colourful melodies appear as friendly “invaders”. This track is a masterpiece of a track and will be transformed into a visual piece of art by Moonbeam themselves, on the day of the release. Last but not least “Run For Me “ is a sonic piece of Traum music that evokes Krautrocks best electronic avant-garde of the 70ies, to be incorporated in their own world... known best as “Moonbeam land”. This track is a track for the late hours when windows allow a beam of light to dance on peoples heads.
