Information Society returns after ten years Jul 5 2007 | By: Tobias Eliasson (Gothenburg, Sweden) American synthpop band Information Society restarted last year, after being on hold since 1997. Their new EP “Oscillator” was actually released already in March, but only as a download EP. Thanks to Hakatak Records, it’s now also out on CD. They have a new album coming up called “Synthesizer”. Roskilde parking areas under water Jul 3 2007 | By: Mikael Kahrle (Gothenburg, Sweden) The Roskilde Festival asks their visitors to leave their cars at home and go by train or bus. The parking areas are more or less under water due to heavy raining and more rain is expected. This makes me remember an extremely wet Roskilde in the early 90:s when my tent air bed was floating in two decimeters of water. And when the Release-mobile got stuck in mud at the Jean Michel Jarre performance in northern Denmark in 2002; it was towed away by a local farmer and his truck the morning after. Roskilde Festival 2007 starts on Thursday. KMFDM adds darkwave and pop to the mix Jul 3 2007 | By: Peter Marchione (Gothenburg, Sweden)
KMFDM return with the album “Tohuvabohu” on August 24. This release features their classical industrial dance and metal elements but also some quite unexpected inputs of darkwave and pop. We are served eleven tracks in total and among these we find a cover of Liaisons Dangereuses’ classic “Los Niños Del Parque”.
