It is with their strong live shows, a bunch of
ear-catching compilation appearances and some astounding remix work that
KANT KINO managed to create a shockwave on the EBM scene! The wait is
now over and Alfa Matrix’s new Norwegian discovery is ready to deliver
their debut album, "We are Kant Kino – You are not" straight to your
sound system...
Named after a Simple Minds tune and a Berlin
theatre, KANT KINO paint soundscapes based on interpretations of
observed themes in everyday life, from philosophy to reality, from
happiness to disaster. The Norwegian duo find their inspiration in
old-school Electronic Body Music and acknowledge influences from FRONT
242, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, LEAETHER STRIP, SKINNY PUPPY or yet BORGHESIA
and à;GRUMH... KANT KINO also inject the distorted force of the 90's
dark elektro genre and the club appeal of the 21st century Techno Body
Music movement into their strong 80's EBM roots to render dark body
music with distorted vocals and a strong sense for melody. Expect
hard-hitting beats, an orgy of sample manipulations, aggressive vocals
and lush melodic sounds. A fresh combination of modern electronics with
classic EBM and the matchless Norwegian seal of quality!
This
album version is released as a deluxe carton box edition with the
exclusive 14-track bonus album "we are Kant Kino – you are too”
featuring 13 remixes, with a vast variety of styles, many of the KANT
KINO tracks have been manipulated almost into completely new tunes.
Ranging from beautiful electro pop and electronica, to lots of hard
hitting classic and modern sounding EBM and TBM remixes, remixes were
provided by Leæther Strip, Implant, Ionic Vision, amGod, Freakangel and
Trakktor. It also features an eclectic collection of remixes and rare
appearances of some of Norway’s finest electro acts with Agregat,
Anstalt, Essence of Mind, Industrial Heads, Substate, Bariuz and DJ
ElecThis. Cherry on the cake: a bonus 14th track, a stomping cover of
NITZER EBB`s "Control I`m Here”...
