A SPELL INSIDE was founded in 1989 by Michael Roeder (vocals,
programming) and Peter Kirchmeyer (synths, samples). After some
funny sessions the whole thing became bigger and bigger and one year
later Klaus Rodewig joined the band as a guitar-player. A Spell
Inside was born.
This moment was the real start of ASI and it was the aim to create a
modern electronic style with some slight guitars which only should
indicate directions in a very dynamical way.
Because this would be a sound which one couldnt found at any other
bands at that moment. And so the story moved on ...
1996 Klaus left the band of personal reasons and from that time on
ASI proceeded as a duo. In the case of live-gigs Sven Schumacher
supported the band, sometimes even in the studio.
1992 the first gigs took place in the nearer ambit of the
homebase-city Neuss. There were several gigs with the popular
darkwave band The Merry Thoughts. In the summer of 1993 the first
big concert followed: ASI played on an open-air-festival near
Saarbrⁿcken with more than 800 visitors. Afterwards ASI were
mentioned as the best act of the evening in the local press.
There were much more concerts during the next few years. Highlights
were 1995 with the Fair Sex on their official parting-tour and
Dementia Simplex.
1996 ASI played on a big festival at the dⁿsseldorfer Stahlwerk with
Diary of Dreams, Silence Gift and Second Decay. There ASI socialised
first contacts to the members of Second Decay so that both ASI and
SD made a very successful club-tour through germany in 1997.
1991 the first demotape was produced called "The wrong spell". There
were six songs on it e.g. "We turn to grey" which has been the
titletrack of the first album just a few years later.
Until 1994 two more demos were recorded - A Spell Inside and
Revenge. Above all it was the last one which was very attentive.
Some songs were played on several local radio-stations, radio
Marabou and the WDR.
1994 it was the time for the first recordings in a real
sound-studio. The result were six songs which represented a summary
of the period between 1990 and 1994.
1995 the first record deal was made and the label Discordia
published this material with the debut MCD "Return to grey".
One year later the first longplayer followed called "Visions from
the Inside". It was an album which was overwhelmed with a lot of
praise by the specialised press.
It seems so as are A SPELL INSIDE the next big synth-wave-pop act in
germany after Wolfheim, Blind Passengers and De/Vision ..."
Encouraged by the big success 1997 the MCD "Brothers" followed.
There were four tracks on it including a remix of the well-known
club-hit "Sinnbild".
But unfortunately there was the failure of the label Discordia just
after the release and so it didnt get the large attention which it
would have been deserved.
After this break-down A Spell Inside only released one song more
named "TrΣume" on some compilations in 1998.
Then it calmed down with the band. There were some other projects -
e.g. Michaels "Behind the Scenes" - and private reasons for this
long break.
It should take over two years for the next little sign of the band:
2000 one satisfied the wish of many fans and re-release with
"Stories from the Inside" all former - partial out of stock -
material on a double-album.
And in 2001 it was time to start the come-back. So A Spell Inside
produced a brandnew album "Hit". They needed more than a half year
to finish this production. The release is terminated for february
2002 through the label Triton.
The unique sound of A Spell Inside is difficult to explain.
Maybe its the interesting combination between catchy melodies,
compact basslines and pumping rhythm-tracks, maybe its the striking
voice. Who knows? But its self-evident there arise something very
special which you can descripe as some kind of "technical romance".
Call it the revival of the 80ies in a very modern and inimitable
way. Besides there is a brilliant songwriting and every song finds
the way straight inside your mind. And all together creates this
very special ASI feeling. An athmosphere which is carried by
melancholic synthi-sequences. Call it a style which hasnt reached,
yet.
