without frontiers

kikai — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 01:02:34 +0000

a complete rewrite of “Games without Frontiers” (Peter Gabriel)…
…we re-recorded some vocals and saved original vocals from Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.
Bridges were dropped to let some space for PPG Wave sounds :)

as soon as Peter has checked the song we’ll publish it here!
stay tuned

just kidding – tomorrow the long awaited new/old minimoog will arrive at last.
I’m kind of curious even if it’s my second one….
just have to prepare a suitable place for him ;)

kikai will move into a new studio location in june: really more space for machines and people.

the working on new songs has been difficult during the last months – but with lots of ideas and material sent by friends, i’ll have to get back to music soon.

sunny greetings and stay tuned!
