Egomania Early Electronics - A Compilation

We're back with some new stuff from our vaults. At first some Egomania Recordings, also in waiting is more from the Stolle & Member 2010 Recordings. And we prepare some new meetings to record new Stolle & Member Music and another meeting of MIRG this Winter. So be prepared for new posts on emptyblaukraut.
First we start with this shiny diamond out of our vaults:  Early Electronics. This is a 2 CD Compilation out of six or seven, where I collected my earliest adventures in electronic music. The Journey starts in 1993, the year we started the Lay De Fear Experience, that wakened my interest in electronic music. before the early 90's I didn't like electronic music at all, but in the early nineties Chris of Lay De Fear lead my interest to 70's industrial music, like the early Cabaret Voltaire. The other influence in electonics is my younger brother, a DJ, who mad his way from EBM music to Techno in the late 80's. The first three tracks reflect my enthusiam for Cabaret Voltaire and the fourth track is my very first approach into techno music. Tracks 5 -8 are taken from Egomania - First. After the Lay De Fear Experience I get more and more into techno music and became a huge fan of Air Liquide a Techno duo from Cologne who worked also together with my great hero by that time Holger Czukay and  I did one of my favourite tracks of Air Liquide - If there was no gravity as a cover song in 1998.
I didn't like the complicated programming with digital equipment and got a huge interest in analog synthesizers and that lead straight to Astrosound.
And after I got tired about techno music in 2000 it lead to emptyblaukraut music. This is the start of my electronic side. Industrial Tracks, Wild Experiments, Cosmic Music and kinky grooves. you will find it all here and here.

Ax Genrich & The Whole - Live Im Dreikönigskeller 23.1.2011

This is a recording of our gig with former Guru Guru - guitarist Ax Genrich. Having not played together for almost two years, and having never met Ax before, we just jumped the stage and into the cold water. The gig turned out to be fantastic. Ax is a very sweet and descent person, we connected immediately and played like we were old friends. We are looking forward to repeat this experience in autumn.

Grab the Gig here.

The first part of the gig was a 30-minute solo-performance by ax, a video of which you can find here.

The Mirror Shows

Hello Everybody,
greetings from Stolle & Member! Having just done the gig with Ax Genrich, which was just fantastic (and we hope to post it soon right here), we got a little special thing for you in store in the meantime. While we were thinking of the good old times and our beloved pals we had the pleasure to make music with, we spontaneously recorded this tribute to Botany Bay, Stolle's UBIK paint-colleague Stephan Kleinert. We konw we couldn't do him justice, of course, but we did it with love. Here's to you, Stephan, and for everybody else to enjoy,



luv, stolllllle & member
