Rammstein - Reise Reise

quote:

According to Herzeleid.com, the German magazine Sonic Seducer is reporting that the new RAMMSTEIN single will be called "Rosenrot" (Rose Red). The single is reportedly due at the end of May.

RAMMSTEIN entered the studio in early November to begin recording their new album, tentatively due late spring through Republic/Universal Records. Production duties are being handled by Jacob Hellner, who worked with the group on 2001's "Mutter".

In other news, the rumors of a possible musical collaboration between RAMMSTEIN and the Russian pop duo T.A.T.U. have once again surfaced. A T.A.T.U. fan site, Tatysite.net, issued the following update on Feb. 18:

"Director of group TATU, Sergey Bobza, is now negotiating with famous German group RAMMSTEIN to record a song. Germans have shown interest to TATU girls after having seen their performance at Eurovision. The musicians liked Lena and Yulia so much that it gave them the idea of a joint project.

" 'The representative of the German group will arrive this week to show us a song that they suggest to record in common,' [Bobza said]. 'It has not been played anywhere and I don't know what it sounds like. I only know that the composition is about Moscow.'

"Members of group RAMMSTEIN have imagined all the details, composed the song and then sent it to TATU's management, newspaper 'Life' writes. Negotiations should take place next week, but the trip of Lena Katina and Sergey Bobza to Singapore could change the schedule."

RAMMSTEIN keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz revealed in an online posting back in May that his then-favorite song would probably be called "Moskau" (Moscow). The fact that a cooperation between RAMMSTEIN and T.A.T.U. was never completely ruled out by RAMMSTEIN's management makes this latest rumor plausible.

RAMMSTEIN guitarist Richard Kruspe-Bernstein recently spoke to the New York Times about how the widespread use of near-professional equipment is letting musicians record in their bedrooms, though the neighbors may still notice the noise

Some musicians said home studios and computer equipment are making recording quieter. Richard said the recording process is less collaborative now, more a solitary plinking on a computer keyboard than a group playing effort.

"You don't have to listen loud anymore," said Kruspe-Bernstein, whose concerts feature feats of pyrotechnics.

Music today is "everyone is cooking in his own kitchen by himself," he said, in his New York home studio on the first floor of a former firehouse. "It used to be five guys playing together, but that doesn't happen as much anymore."

"You can do everything without other people's presence," Kruspe-Bernstein said.

Yess, eindelijk nieuw werk, goeie tip mochten ze niet naar Nederland komen, ze doen meestal wel een of meer concerten in Nord Rhein Westfalen (zeg maar achter Nijmegen/Venlo), is prima te doen vanuit het westen des lands

NEW RAMMSTEIN ALBUM

Recently the FanArea Team had a chance to hear roughly half of the upcoming Rammstein album, in an unmastered state. Since we did not listen to all the songs, we can not state if they are representative for the whole album but here is our impression summarized: The music seems to be harder than before, and is still highlighted by keyboards throughout and beautiful musical and vocal passages at the right moments. Several of the songs are stuck in our head, especially the chorus of one in particular ...
