For Greater Good CD out now!!!

After appearances on several compilations, including the highly-acclaimed CMI-release 'All My Dead Friends', For Greater Good found the time ripe to issue a first full-cd.

The CD consists of 10 songs, good for over 50 minutes of music ranging from dark ambient over neo-classical towards a more industrial sound. For this, FGG uses a combination of synthesizers, samples, noises and acoustic instruments.

Core members of the band are Iz and samdevos. Guest musician on this album is Edwin Vanvinckenroye (Troissoeur, Tribe, HandCrafted,…) on vocals and violin.
Mastering was done by Daniel B. (Front 242,…)

The theme of the songs is as varied as the sound. For Greater Good serves as a spectator towards life as it is. They give facts and topics to think about, without force-feeding you their own opinion; the sorrow of tragedies in 'Ossetian Ossuary', the present day abuse and violation of Human Rights in 'Love your Terrorist', but also the more mundane annoyance of a simple traffic jam in 'Rush Hour'.

The cd is suited as a soundtrack for everyday life... the darker as well as the lighter moments.

More info and a way to order it :-)

AH CAMA-SOTZ - "DEAD CITIES" New album out now!!!

Since 12th of October the new album " Dead cities" by Ah Cama-Sotz is available!
If you don't know this band, it's about time you got to know it...
if you do know this band, you'll know what to expect...
the unexpected...
or as the Bat himself puts it:

For his new album "Dead Cities" Ah Cama-Sotz created no less then ten descriptive aural landscapes from all over the world.
The tracks range from deep ambient with a religious touch to ritual layered structures - sometimes even close to straightforward dub - to technoid industrial epic anthems, bound to make the audience scream - no wait - pray for more.
The Bat is back!
Mr Sotz will change your vision on the world ... Again!
(label: bats & cats // cat. bc05 - 2007 - full length CD: 56.53 min)
