The album harks back to the music that Fulber made in his youth inspired by bands such as Cabaret Voltaire, Portion Control and fellow Vancouverites Skinny Puppy but blends those influences with the brutalist rhythms and harsh industrial techno that he has been pioneering in recent years. While there are distinct nods to the past in the gnarly Richard H Kirk-esque cut ups of All Of You Go To Heaven and Baaderzeit’s eerie Tangerine Dream-like sequences, the album is also very much a modernist collaborative effort, utilising voices from the forefront of contemporary electronic music including William Maybelline (Qual/Lebanon Hanover), Years of Denial’s Barkosina and Hamburg-based aufnahme+wiedergabe recording artist Konstantin Unwohl. Fulber is a longtime member of Canadian industrial outfit Front Line Assembly and ambient pop duo Delerium (both with Bill Leeb), and solo project Conjure One. As a producer, he has worked with artists as varied as Fear Factory, Paradise Lost, Sinead O’Connor, Sarah McLachlan, and Youth Code. Schneider, former head of the obscure rhythm’n’noise project Autoaggression, returns with the album Yesterday’s Tomorrow Today. A dive down the rabbit hole to the origins of today’s Silicon Valley ideology, as it unfolds in the original words of its pioneers, visionaries, and critics. In an eclectic blend of EBM, techno, IDM, and future pop, voices of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are set against each other – and hey, it is scary, and there’s no utopia here… Urban Spree (RAW-Area) Revaler Str. 99/Warschauer Str. 10245 Berlin www.urbanspree.com www.facebook.com/urbanspree
