new album - comme vous voulez

Our next album comes in October 2007. The mastering is done; we did the “finalizing” in a studio in Hamburg. So now it’s about finishing the cover artwork and the pressing of the CDs!

This is what Gabor Baksay, publisher of Movie Magazin, says about the first song on the new album: "A typical Alphawezen recording session is less like a composer’s studio session than a conspirative get-together, replete with elated twitterings and chirpings, murmured and whispered exchanges of secrets and piquant remarks. The reward for this courteous treatment of the machines resonates through the very first track: “Green Eyes” is possessed of a complex and magical melancholy (…). The masterfully interwoven melodies, which have become hallmarks of Alphawezen’s music, evoke en passant delectable scenes in the mind’s eye of the attentive listener. In this case it’s the iridescent self-abnegating “tears in rain” that android replicant Roy Batty talks about so movingly in the movie Blade Runner. But the forceful string theme at the close of the piece intimates that some day the machines might no longer take their exploitation “lying down”, as it were. (…)"
(Translation by Eric Rosencrantz)

Our third album’s title is “Comme Vous Voulez”. But our French friend and partner Bruno didn’t like this title... I can imagine that “As You Like”/ "What you want" or “Wie Sie wünschen“/ "Ihr habt es so gewollt", if you say it “en français”, probably does not sound good for a Frenchman. So the album will be called “Freeze” in France :)
