DIE ROBO SAPIENS album
After a couple of teasing EP & video clip releases, ladies and gentlemen, Alfa Matrix is proud to present to you today the much awaited full length album by the new ultimate EBM project by the members of one of the cult electro industrial music pioneers of all times next to KRAFTWERK and EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN: DIE KRUPPS' very own Jürgen Engler and his fellow members Ralf Dörper and Marcel Zürcher!
The idea for them was to have an outlet for songs that couldn't be used in a DIE KRUPPS context. The use of guitars in ROBO SAPIENS music being taboo! 'In a way, it's a return to our Electro roots, but with a twist. Imagine the Duesseldorf sound of KRAFTWERK mixed with hard DIE KRUPPS EBM. This combination of styles has been spooking around my brain for a while, and it was time to put it into action,' Juergen Engler says.
This stunning 10-track "Robo Sapien Race" album offers the perfect blend of minimal, vintage and outstanding powerful synth music with harder, stronger and angrier EBM assaults made of fat and ripping basslines, powerful German vocals and upbeat synth sequences. The result proves that DIE ROBO SAPIENS have already found their own niche, which Electro fans from both genres will surely appreciate!
A futuristic atmosphere perfectly rendered by the talented Japanese designer Tomoki Hayasaki.
