The Fascination Movement – Remix Vol. I
Like any group enthralled by the history of electronic pop, The Fascination Movement love remixes. On the heels of their 0.5 EP, and to keep you busy while they put the finishing touches on their debut album, they give you Remix Vol 1. Starcluster twists “Radio” into burbling new dancefloor shapes with a tinge of 90s proto-house including 808 drums and roland baselines, ALBA (a new project with Roland Sebastian Faber and Michael Black of Unit 4/Jupiter Black) reworks “Down Again” into something sweeping and noctur nal, adding rock flavored live drums and a shimmering melody on top. Elitechnique stunningly suspends “Just Pretend” in space with spinning organs, transforming it from a propulsive pop song into something wholly different. In the days of dime a dozen remixes that consist of nothing more than retro fitting tracks with a 4/4 beat, these beauties show off the originals in new and surprising ways.
Limited promo edtion on wax, only 100 copies w/ hand-printed sleeves. Official release coming late april 2009.

The Fascination Movement – 0.5 ep
If you secretly believe that all of the best dance music has an undercurrent of melancholy then you are in for a treat. *After releasing their remix of Starcusters Smoke & Mirrors featuring Marc Almond earlier this year, the FM return with a debut EP of original music. The 4 song EP mixes the echos of new wave and italo with analtogether contemporary sensibility and take on the genre.
They’re not alone in that quest, of course, their lineage stretches back to disco and new wave and forwards into today and anyone from *Solvent* to *Cut Copy*. Not that they’re narrow-minded or less than catholic in their tastes (not for nothing did *one of them play bass on the highly rated new Fleet Foxes album*), but the Fascination Movement run the kind of big tent where overly strict notions of genre crumble before finding that perfect tune that makes you forget what kind of day you had at work or that the economy is in shambles, that makes you want to drive down a highway all night long, that breaks your heart, that puts it back together again.
That fascinates you. 0.5, as the name indicates, is a first step, a rough draft, a plan, but damn if it doesn’t give you a healthy dose of faith in the whole project even as you’re humming along.

Featured Music Artist – Cypertramp
October 7th, 2008
Q: What is a Cybertamp?
A: Two musician/producers in the United States on a path leading into a mysterious, secret world of analogue synthesizer collectors, robots and back alley studios hidden away in the valley of a long forgotten rivertown.
S.M.W., the producer behind the project and H.M.A., a DJ with a knack for mixing 80’s heavy metal and italo, together create a sound that both recollects the bygone disco era, while holding tight to a vision of a future where man and machine can, at last, live as one.
With their debut Aube single, an upcoming Aube release, we not only get Cybertramp, but the wonderful Italo vocals of Mario (whom rumour has it, is one of Italy’s greatest Italo disco singers, back for an encore.)
Stay tuned for more…
