Looking back at the past over the holidays...

Munich Syndrome is an electronic pop band. The new album "Electro Pop" is available now at CD Baby. 14 tracks of electronic ecstasy mixed in HDCD® for enhanced audio quality. The album is an electronic soundscape with club-friendly beats, tightly sequenced bass lines, dark keyboards, vocoded harmonies mixed with sonic dissonance. Opening with the Kraftwerk-esque "Manifesto" the album moves through electro, euro pop and dance closing with the extended remix of "Love & Dancing (Even More Love Extended Mix)".


There is also an expanded "Deluxe" version, available exclusively here at SoundClick. "Electro Pop (Deluxe)" features the full 14 track album plus 6 bonus tracks! 3 songs from the "Electro EP" and 3 songs exclusive to this edition: "Analogue Life (Instrumental Mix)", "Metro" and "Random". All songs are DRM (Digital Rights Management) Free, and will play on all MP3 players and are in the highest Bitrate: 320!


The debut CD "Sensual Ambience" is a heady combination of down tempo beats, seductive bass lines and sublime melodies wrapped in warm sensual keyboard washes blended with dreamy electronic ambience.The Physical CD (Mastered in HDCD® for enhanced audio fidelity) is available now at CD Baby with four bonus tracks and also available at iTunes and Amazon.com.

Why this name?
This was inspired by the movie "Android", which has a scene where a loveable but futzy android learns he will be disassembled and reused for a greater good. While listening to his last radio broadcast from Earth, he hears a news bulletin that the androids in Munich turned on their masters, killing them, as they no longer wanted to be machines, but wanted to feel and be human. They were exhibiting "Munich Syndrome". That resonated with wanting to find the humanity in the music that can be made with machines.
Do you play live?
At this point in time, no. Currently Munich Syndrome is a studio project.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows a wider range of people to discover music that might otherwise fly under their radar, and allows people to make direct contact without the constraints (and limitations) of working for a larger corporation. It also empowers both the artists and the consumers.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If it would appear beneficial for all parties, yes.
Band History:
Munich Syndrome began as a bedroom experiment with a couple of synthesizers and a drum machine. Slowly more synths were added and then a porta studio gave the project a clearer focus. As time (and technology) moved on, rudimentary sequencing programs were experimented with, but it wasn't until Logic and Logic Pro were adopted as the working environment of choice, that Munich Syndrome actually came together.
Your influences?
The list is long: Kraftwerk, Hybrid, Voice Farm, Junkie XL, Soft Cell, Client, the Human League, OneTwo, Gary Numan,Justice, Digitalism, Madonna, Sneaker Pimps, Miss Kittin, Pet Shop Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Propaganda, Trevor Horn, Siouxsie, Garbage, Stephen Hague, etc.
Favorite spot?
Paris, France.
Equipment used:
Logic Pro, Native Instruments, Spectrasonics, Virus Indigo.
Anything else...?
Thanks for checking this project out. New songs are being added and for anyone interested, there is a Munich Syndrome merchandise shop available via the MunichSyndrome website.
Cheers!

Wow... I really like the dark Numan-like keys and big-brother vocals. The beat pulls you along like a freight train and I like the way it builds. It's been one that I've been listening to a lot!

The title sums this up beautifully. It sounds like a lost William Orbit track, very dreamy a bit clubby, and something to just kind of fall into... nice!
