lost and found (1998-2000) is the never released
follow up album of the great "via nostra" by sun
electric.
Who is SUN ELECTRIC? SUN ELECTRIC is to ambient
music what The Sex Pistols is to punk music. But
since electronic abandoned the pathetic poses of
rock music, nobody had to die to make this unique
band history. SUN ELECTRIC members TOM THIEL & MAX
LODENBAUER dissolved in other projects, tearing
out an insatiable piece of the map of electronic
music. SUN ELECTRIC is regarded as innovators of
ambient music - or electronic listening music or
intelligent dance music - depending on what you
prefer of the empty tokens of music journalism.
After electronic music exploded in the late
eighties/ early nineties, the music seemed more or
less to be restricted to forming the heartbeat of
homogeneous party crowds. Like The Orbs Dr. Alex
Paterson, Loderbauer and Thiel realised the music
to be more than that. They allowed the sounds to
detach themselves from the action on the dance
floor to lead a life by themselves. During the
1990s, there extensive equipment had to be shipped
as cargo to the locations of their live shows.
They were adored by the audiences, especially in
Japan and the United States. After having released
six Albums on Belgium┤s outstanding electronic
music label at this time R&S/ Apollo, Lodenbauer
und Thiel lost interest in their hardware
equipment and explored computer based modes of
music production. THIEL formed BUS together with
(shitkatapult co owner) DANIEL METEO (releasing on
~Scape, Meteosound), he collaborated with DABRYE
and did remixes for artists like Apparat, The Orb,
Dntel or Masha Qurella. Loderbauer teamed up with
Tobias Freund of Sieg ⁿber die Sonnes as NSI (on
Luciano┤s Cadenza Records) and with Chica Paula as
Chica and the Folder (on Monika Enterprises).
Swiss-Berlin producer, label founder, radio maker,
publisher and the orb member Thomas Fehlmann was
always more than a friend to Sun Electric,
managing, consulting and publishing the berlin
duo.
What about "Lost + Found (1998-2000)"?
Lets look straight into the eyes of the evil of
current electronic music scene: Todays techhouse
producers does reintroduce song form, the Nurave
kids do nothing but combine rave classics with
punk songs. The minimal sound turned into a
cartoon of what is was originally meant to be. But
true connaisseurs of electronic music cannot
relate to these adolescent laughs, they want to
dive into the ocean of sound. That's why "Lost +
Found" is more than an archeological find, its an
actual sensation. It's the rediscovery of
electronic music as an alien experience, as a
sonic challange. Thiel and Loderbauer avoid the
pathetic narcism of overproduction: the plague in
current electronic music production. September
11th has been regarded as the day electronic music
lost its innocence, when the sonic voyage of the
nineties ended in a sober awakening. "Lost +
Found" was recorded in the last days of summer of
electronic music, in the three successive years
after SUN ELECTRICS final album was released in
1998. Listening to "Lost + Found", one might feel
like visiting jungle: the music creates a complex
soundscape, reminding of the noises of weather
conditions and the sounds of a multitude of
unknown animals. Process is the seminal notion in
SUN ELECTRICS music. While current electronic
music triggers the movements of the dancers bodies
like aerobics in a Club MeditaranΘe, the effects
of SUN ELECTRICS music on mind and body are
complex and open. SUN ELECTRIC's music does not
make you do anything, it rather gives you the
opportunity to become part of a process.
Development, growth, change are important in this
concept: You might know what kind of person tuned
into this album, but you surely have no idea who
you are after you heard it.
