Am I the only one in feeling that that the Moonpop/Cybersounds shop is rather underwhelming? All those empty categories - rarities, super sale, DVDs, merchandise...
In October 2011 it was announced "We'll also add some (re-calculated) backcatalogue items and memorabilia shortly! Watch out for our blow out sales! " but that hasn't happened yet either.
I for one (sometimes I feel like I am the only one) am certainly disappointed that Jerome's third studio album "The Far Side of the Face" has, of yet, failed to materialise. I think it will be worth the wait, but well, it was announced as forthcoming back in the summer of 2010!
JEROME FROESE: FAR SIDE OF THE FACE (New 2012 Studio Album / Digi-Pak / Special Print - Stock # 1533587)
Normally CD £19.99 - Pre-Release Only Price CD £18.49
This is the long awaited new album from Jerome Froese featuring Johannes Schmoelling on two tracks!
Seven time GRAMMY nominated and Berlin based musician Jerome Froese, is certainly one of the most creative, guitar-electro-rockers on the instrumental music scene. After seven years of prolific releases, he's ready to release his 3rd solo album: 'Far Side Of The Face' on 8th June 2012.
This album is a culmination of hard work, creativity and passion and of course a consistent further development of his own created music style called: GUITARTRONICA.
Jerome Froese, also well known as the son of TANGERINE DREAM founder Edgar Froese and was a key member of that band from 1990 to 2006. As special guest musician Jerome Froese invited long time TANGERINE DREAM keyboarder and highly praised solo artist Johannes Schmoelling to play some of his characteristic overdrive and analog style melodies and effects on two songs. Schmoelling was a driving force on TD's classic albums: 'Tangram', 'White Eagle' and 'Logos' just to name a few.
After this fruitful cooperation, Jerome Froese, Johannes Schmoelling plus Berlin based producer Robert Waters formed a new band project called LOOM where they are bringing modern and classic electronic sounds to a new level - creating something that's unique to them.
'Far Side Of The Face' is a mixture of conciliative and optimistic tunes combined with Jerome's signature sound of guitar sequencing, pumping beats, FX gimmickry and atmospheric layers, making his music to be one of a kind.
On 'Far Side Of The Face' on you'll find longing, devotion and self-discovery, and by the time the album concludes you'll feel you've taken part on an intimate journey.
