Upgraded System power up again

Nov 29, 2010 | By: Mikael Kahrle (Gothenburg, Sweden)

Herr A and Herr B in Stockholm electro duo System have scheduled their fourth full length for January 12 (Scandinavia) and January 21 (the rest of the world). "Circle of Infinite Radius" takes the band's speech synthesis even further.

- It has been taken to a point where you no longer can tell if it is a human machine or a robotic human singing, System says.

The track "Pitch Black" can be heard here.

Dupont and The Pain Machinery have made remixes for the limited edition of the album which also will, for the first time, feature a song with vocals - real vocals that is.

Jarre Technologies launches "aero" speaker

Nov 19, 2010 | By: Mikael Kahrle (Gothenburg, Sweden)

Jean Michel Jarre has launched the first product from his new company Jarre Technologies: AeroSystem. AeroSystem is an iPhone/iPod compatible multi directional sound tower, delivering stereo sound from a single multi-axial point.

Jarre Technologies was founded five years ago and the plan is to create high-end, affordable and aesthetic home-entertainment products.

- As a musician, I have always strived for my albums and live performance to render a sound as close as possible to perfection. This brought me to think of what the ideal sound-system of the future should be: A product that can accept all digital formats, from MP3 to hard-disk files, as well as a vinyl turn-table or a CD player, with an aesthetic ambition while privileging optimum audio quality – with bass and a dynamic acoustic that correspond to our listening habits today - all at a most affordable price, Jarre says.

The limited edition will come with extended packaging and artwork, a preface by member Joakim Montelius and a CDM including "Wir sind die Nacht".
