| MADEMOISELLE MARQUEE |
Sarah Ellissa Marquee stands for trippy, hallucinatory vocal and guitar excursions on a sophisticated technical level.
This is coupled with lots of effects, delays and echoes. The first official album 'High Tea' was released by 'Cat On The Moon Productions' in 2007.
The songs are deeply plunging into experimental psychedelic, not rocking but provided with an ambient texture.

| The Season Standard (Germany) |
|
This is a wonderful new german band - something very special because I never heard anything comparable before. The band plays modern fusion with nujazz portions
on their debut album Squeeze me ahead of line - very avantgarde/eclectic. Way-out nervous drums are a trademark blended with psychedelic guitars and ambient elements ...

| The Neil Campbell Collective (UK) |
The band hails from Liverpool/UK and is headed by composer and multi-instrumentalist Neil Campbell. He started to pick up instruments at around the age of four
and followed a number of seemingly divergent musical paths over the years - always maintaining an expanding interest in music that doesn't fit easily into
pigeonholes such as rock, folk, jazz etc. His musical influences include english progressive rock bands of the 70s, krautrock and ambient amongst other things.

| Motherjane (India) |
Great Rock band from India with catchy melodies, heavy riffing guitars and a good singer/front man. This year they released their new album 'Maktub'
also containing a slight asian flavour. Their albums can be checked out per streaming on their website - wort-while!

| ELECTRIC ORANGE (Germany) |
ELECTRIC ORANGE is a german Neo Krautrock band which is mainly based on two masterminds: Dirk Jan Müller (keys) and Dirk Bittner (guitar).
Besides some temporary flirts with House/Techno elements the band actually makes trippy Krautrock influenced music, cheerful electronic
like TANGERINE DREAM or POPOL VUH and with obsessional rhythms near to CAN or even KRAFTWERK.
ELECTRIC ORANGE's 2007 release 'Morbus', mastered by Eroc (Grobschnitt), seems to be their masterpiece for the moment.
This album shines with much variety, providing psychedelic organ/synth layers supported by a powerful rhythm section.
Mysterious german recitatives are combined with hypnotic grooves and 'inventions for guitar' similar to MANUEL GÖTTSCHING.

| TURZI (Paris/France) |
Interesting band headed by mastermind Turzi with a special eclectic Krautrock attitude. The current album named 'A' was released in June 2007
where they combine electronic elements similar to bands like KRAFTWERK, CAN with trippy psychedelic parts in the vein of ASHRA or AGITATION FREE.
All the song titles are beginning with the letter 'A' which is a special gimmick whereas some are pure electronic and others recorded with the full line-up.
The live performances of TURZI are extraordinary alternating between violence and neurotic tension.
