" It's a trademark ambient symphony, with melodies dwelling somewhere on the edge of harmonic spheres. Both in short and long tracks, the impact is incredible - for the fans of experimental ambient sounds, it's another adventurous listening experience." BACK IN STOCK! Price (incl. 19% VAT): €17.00 Warning: Currently we do not have this album in stock! More Info "Esoteric realism is the good term for 1000schoen works. With every new album, the meaning of this wordplay is getting more obvious, though also unexpected at the same time. "Yoshiwara" is not exception, it was first released by Kafue Systems in 2007, in very limited run on CDR with handmade photographic cover. The title should be familiar for those who knows the famous movie "Metropolis" by Fritz Lang, it was the nightclub where the main character Maria was working as the dancer. But it's also the red light district name, in 17th century Tokyo. However, the music we can find here can be hardly imagined as the soundtrack for the new version of "Metropolis". It's a trademark ambient symphony, with melodies dwelling somewhere on the edge of harmonic spheres. Both in short and long tracks, the impact is incredible - for the fans of experimental ambient sounds, it's another adventurous listening experience. This re-edition includes the second CD with two new and previously unreleased tracks, recorded in 2011." [label info] "Als Maeror Tri sich 1996 teilte, machten Martin Gitschel & Stefan Knappe weiter als Troum und Helge Siehl wurde verzaubert in 1000schoen. Yoshiwara (patch seven, 2 x CD) ist die Wiederkehr von 5 Tracks, der er 2005 als CDr bei Kafue Systeme veröffentlicht hat, erweitert um bisher unveröffentlichte 24 Bonusminuten. Die nehmen größerenteils die aus läutenden Phantomen und motorischem Grollen geballte Gestalt von 'Dronescape' an und verraten damit kein Geheimnis - Siehl ist ein Dröhner und Looper vor dem Herrn. Eine besondere Note bringt er auch mal durch den Einsatz von Pianoklimperei ins Spiel, zusammen mit summendem Singsang. 'Sowlong', die 26 zentralen Minuten von Yoshiwara, zerschroten in ihrem Mahlwerk Sufi- oder Muezzingesang mit, was den Erhabenheitsfaktor des Brausens, Orgelns und hintergründigen Klapperns um eine Zweierpotenz erhöht. Mit gelooptem Handclapping und Chorgesang eines tribalen Festes treibt die eingefangene Folklore den Puls gleich mit in die Höhe. Mir kommen Morgenland fahrer wie Rapoon und Muslimgauze in den Sinn. 1000schoen variiert deren und eigene Rezepte, wenn er bei 'followed your steps' sein Low-fi-Rauschen wiederum mit einem psychedelischen Bassloopgroove ankurbelt, der die Lebenssäfte spätgeborener Singles quasi-kultisch und saturday-night-festlich keltert. Das noch einmal 20-min. Titelstück umorgelt die Sinne mit schnellen und hellen Synthie- und Gitarrenwellen. Ein Großreinemachen, das die Synapsen frei zu blasen versucht von den Anhaftungen der Blöd-Maschinerie? 1000schön wär's." [Rigobert Dittmann, Bad Alchemy] "Back in Vital Weekly 565 1000Schoen's 'Yoshiwara' CD was reviewed by NM and he wrote: ""Yoshiwara" is also the name of a prostitute area of the 17 th century's Tokyo just like it was the name of the nightclub in Fritz Lang's movie "Metropolis" (1927) where the main character Maria worked as an exotic dancer. This very interesting album by German composer 1000Schøen could well be the soundtrack for a 21 st century's edition of the Fritz Lang's legendary futuristic movie. Taking its starting point in the world of ambience the intense work circulates in sonic worlds of buzzing noise drones and otherworldly spheres of melodic beauty. Thus being both dramatic and harmonic in expression the album changes between short tracks and long conceptual tracks with the third track (all tracks are untitled!) clocking 26+ minutes. "Yoshiwara" is a remarkable work of experimental ambient. With these three very different albums, Kafue Systeme, demonstrates its wide approach to electronic sound, and the musical quality is in all three cases impressively high!" In this re-issue the tracks do have titles and I can add that 1000Schoen is the project of Helge Siehl, the third member of Maeror Tri, who went solo when the others became Troum. This re-issue has a bonus CD with twenty-four minutes, two tracks with some more excellent excursions into the world of drone music. Very much along the lines of Maeror Tri/Troum, both the disc that was recorded in 2006 and the bonus disc (no recording date). 1000Schoen doesn't have the same recognition yet as Troum, but its about time that changes."
