minuit is the name of minus 8æs fourth album, not including his
soundtrack for the film viktor vogel commercial man (2001). and
itæs his second longplayer for compost records.
the last year was very successful for minus 8, the remixer of
indigo blues by f-comÆs newcomer star llorca. usaÆs finest
hardware company apple chose his track snowblind for their
g4-powerbook tv spot. director lars kraume chose him after
several months of headhunting - to compose the soundtrack for the
film viktor vogel commercial man (feat. goetz goerge, maria
schrader, alexander scherr). the film is now available on vhs and
dvd. and finally minus 8 won the ericsson swiss dance music award
in the category best producer.
moreover robert jan meyer aka minus 8 played at highly acclaimed
festivals such as the amsterdam dance valley, montreux jazz 2000
and the willisau jazz festival. he was on tour in australia,
played at the justo club in moscow, and at plenty different clubs
in germany, itlay and portugal. and still he found time to work on
his new album.
minuit (in switzerland released on jaboo records, one of the five
best labels in switzerland, as mentioned in the style mag
wallpaper) certainly will please the needs of all downbeat and
minus 8 fans.
the sun feat. singer jillene is a wonderful ambient-jazz track
with fender rhodes, flute, hammond and guitar. flute and vocals
performed by zurich-based brasilian artist rodrigo botter-majo are
the essential part of the bossa nova track at the beach, while the
tune bossanova feelingô features the vocals of tanja birri.
the track ätheiaô is more house-influenced, keeping it real with
an 80s style chicago-house piano lick. come along, again is a new
version of the track featured on the compost 100 compilation,
which shows the talent of singer unspeakable d from bristol, uk.
a concha cor de rosa is a 174 bpm latin drum & bass track, heavily
influenced by patife & marky and john b.
new york based singer billie (nobodyÆs business, new maw) is the
star on the wonderful ballad sometimes. the edit-version was
already on the soundtrack of victor vogel.
the cd-version also features remixes which were so far only
available on vinyl such as cold fusion (dr rockit rmx aka
herbert), snowblind (amalgamation of soundz rmx), badman & throbin
(gabor deutsch rmx) and badman & throbin (intega rmx). especially
the 2-step remix by intega was very popular amongst the
garage-crowd in london
