Little Nemo – Interview @ Lost Echoes.net

Greetings to everyone and welcome to ‘Little Nemo’s backstage’! For those who might not be aware of, Little Nemo was a French group internationally renowned for its melodic new wave sound. Moving along similar ‘sound-lines’ like those of Sad Lovers & Giants and the Chameleons, the group during its almost 10 year period of existence (1983-1992) produced a series of astonishing works; works, that still remain an absolute exemplar of new wave music’s most sentimental aspects. Recently (2008) and to the happiness of many, the group re-united and celebrated its re-union by performing both nationally (Paris) and abroad (Vicenza, Italy). Lost Echoes, readily welcoming Little Nemo’s return after so many years decided to get in touch with the band and ask for an interview...

CHAMELEONSvox – Interview @ Lost Echoes.net

Dear everybody, What should any old –at least familiarized with the new wave scene- music aficionado tell about The Chameleons? Is there any argument or information that has not been asserted or stated concerning their musical presence, history, sound and finally, contribution to new wave genre’s advancement? Probably not! Nonetheless, we will go on positing: Chameleons were, are and will be one of the most important acts of the ‘80s new wave era and a group that managed via their genuinely sentimental sound and existentially wakeful lyrics to speak straight to our hearts & minds. In this way, why shouldn’t we just consider them as an exceptional point of musically defined existential reference, as a sort of an essential ‘Sentimental Anchor’? In response to their...

MESH – Interview @ Lost Echoes.net

LE: Hello there. The release of your new album (A Perfect Solution) is among the best news we’ve heard within the current year. Tell us please how you feel about this release. Comparing this work to your previous ones, what elements exactly do you feel were different in the process of composing it? Its always a good feeling when you release an album. It is a sense of closure on something that you have been working on for such a long time. As much as we all love writing albums it is great to finish it. Then there is the anxiety waiting for the reaction and feedback of people. It is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There is no strategic plan when we start writing a new album, we generally start writing and see what develops. After a few songs thing start taking shape and go in a...

Electric Litany | Interview @ Lost Echoes.net

It’s all about electricity, spirituality, humor and music. Well, alright, electricity can be questioned… Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, mom and dad, please have the pleasure of Electric Litany’s acquaintance. Electric. Does this mean there’s no fun unless plugged in? There is fun. It’s just a different kind of fun. Composer Eric Satie used no electricity but had the fun of his life. Litany. Did it come up because of the atmosphere, the vocals, the sense of ritual, the need to believe in something, the power of concentration, hope. All of these together? It’s almost all of these together; apart from the need to believe in something, we believe in no Gods and Kings. And of course no hope, hope is a disease of mankind. We believe in the deconstruction of hope. Equipment....

Piano Magic | INTERVIEW @ Lost Echoes

About 100 hours before Piano Magic appear on stage in Athens, Glen Johnson, the man, the poet, the musician, the expected monster, maybe the unexpected angel, and a lot more we’ll never get to know, appears now on your computer screens by kindly accepting to answer our very piano-magic-al questionnaire. – If You Really Had To Choose Only One Between “Piano” And “Magic” Which One Would It Be? Well, they both have their pluses and minuses, don’t they?  The sound of a piano can be life-affirming or soul-destroying.  It’s a very powerful instrument in the right hands.  As for magic, there’s magic as in wonder and miracles but then there’s magic as in David Blaine.  So, to be on the safe side, I’ll choose the piano. – Please Warn Us! Tell Me A Book I Should...

POP EYE – Interview @ Lost Echoes.net

Κατάφεραν να βγάλουν ένα από τα πιο ενδιαφέροντα albums της χρονιάς που σύντομα τελειώνει. Ακούγοντας το ομώνυμο CD τους δυσκολεύεται κανείς να πιστέψει ότι είναι το πρώτο ενός σχήματος που δεν έχει πολλά χρόνια που ξεκίνησε την προσπάθειά του, κι όμως φαντάζει απίστευτα ταλαντούχο και σχεδόν… “έμπειρο”. Οι POP EYE μίλησαν στο Lost Echoes για πολλά και διάφορα πράγματα. Για την προέλευση του ονόματος της μπάντας, για ….σπανάκι, για τις...

Vello Leaf – Συνέντευξη στο Lost Echoes

Το EP τους “Morning Star” ήταν με διαφορά ότι καλύτερο κυκλοφόρησε τη προηγούμενη χρονιά (2007) από ελληνική μπάντα.

IAMX (Chris Corner) – INTERVIEW

Typed on the final page of The Alternative’s booklet is the following phrase: “Inspiration: Rapture, Insomnia And Berlin”. In an effort to comprehend those three sources of inspiration, we thought we could start with the last of the three experiences, Berlin. In any case, the first two are hardly bearable in the latest days of a fine summer. Late summer 2006: Trip to Berlin in quest of that “secret harmonic emotion”, which motivates only some people to put experiences into words, feelings into melodies, eagerness into rhythm and to thereafter let ingenuity coordinate well-balanced parts of the above ingredients; in the very hope that the basic creator of “an alternative to real world” would guide us to his musical ingredients and processes, to his mystic harmonic formulas…...

Astralon – Interview

Η ηλεκτρονική μουσική σκηνή παρεχώρησε «εν λευκώ» άπλετο χώρο στους Έλληνες Astralon για να δημιουργήσουν τις δικές τους εμπνευσμένες συνθέσεις. Με το πρώτο “Precious” EP τους μας εισήγαγαν στο δικό τους μελωδικό κόσμο, ο οποίος περιέχει εμπεριστατωμένες αναφορές σε μινιμαλιστικές μουσικές φόρμες αλλά και σε πιο «ογκώδεις» σκοτεινές / μελαγχολικές ηλεκτρονικές επιρροές. Η ομάδα του Lost Echoes μίλησε με τα μέλη του συγκροτήματος και έμαθε λίγα...
