krautiopharm - A New Breed Of Kraut

About Me

I started making music in the early 80s in several bands from Avantgarde New Wave (Wahnvorstellung) via Electronic NDW (Schatten unter Eis) to Psychedelic 60s-Punk (The Trivial Heroes). In my "real life" I am a screenwriter but music is still my favourite waste of time. After almost 20 years of musical silence I thought it was about time to start a new project. It is called "krautiopharm" and tries to build a bridge from German 70s Krautrock to modern electric chill-out/dance music. If you like the four tracks from my new album "Tablettland" you can order the complete CD (10 tracks - almost 80 minutes - produced by the Mutant-Electro-Krautrock-Kombinat-Auxburg M.E.K.K.A.) for 9,90 Euro (including shipping to any place in the world) at [email protected] ... I'd also be happy to find some "brothers/sisters in mind" to release a CD compilation in the near future ...Every comment and contact is gratefully appreciated.I hope you'll enjoy the music - and life too, of course!Peace,Michael ____________________________________________________________ __________ If you occasionally slip in "yer oulde dancin' boots" to do the John Travolta every now and then, you might want to check out my new project ...
