KOOP
2010
KOOP ISLAND BLUES and COME TO ME
It`s one of my favorite songs this chilli autum day`s. The Clip is filled up on delicate colors and a brilliant story.
Koop is Oscar Simonsson & Magnus Zingmark. When listening to Koops music it's somehow easy to believe that it's played by a small orchestra, but in fact the music is based on samples. Thousands of small clips from records puzzled together into new songs. All the drums, strings, horn sections and choires are actually sampled! This is a very time consuming way to make music (it's one of the reasons it takes such long time to make a koop album), but it's the only way to create the surreal Koop sound. One thing though, that for sure aren't sampled, is the vocals. Many singers has blessed the Koop albums with their talent, and on Koop Islands the singers are : Ane Brun, Yukimi Nagano, Hilde Louise Asbjornsen, Rob Gallagher and Mikael Sundin.

Abendlicht on the Lp Wunderbar (1978) from the Berlin school legend Wolfgang Riechmann. Released on the ever impressive Sky Records label. Riechmann would likely have played a significant part in the 80s synth scene, if not for his tragic death - murdered in a random street stabbing, weeks before this album was released...

Serge Gainsbourg (1928-1991)
2010
Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus
The Movie for the sound is made on footage Super 8 and shows Gainsbourg and Birkin in Venice.
In 1968 Gainsbourg had written "Je t'aime, moi non plus", an explicitly erotic song which he had recorded with Brigitte Bardot. After the pair's relationship had ended, Bardot begged Gainsbourg not to release the recording as a single and Gainsbourg, the perfect gentleman, respected her wishes. However, in 1969 Jane recorded the notorious song as a duet with Gainsbourg and it appeared on the pair's joint album "Jane Birkin Serge Gainsbourg".
When "Je t'aime moi non plus" was released as a single later that year it caused an absolute scandal. Indeed, Gainsbourg's erotic lyrics and Jane's passionate whispering totally outraged public opinion. The international press attacked the song's "lewd" message, radios banned it from their playlists and the Vatican went so far as to issue a statement condemning the immoral nature of the song. In short, "Je t'aime moi non plus" benefited from a huge amount of free publicity and rocketed straight to the top of the charts, selling around a million copies in the space of just a few months. Needless to say, Gainsbourg and Birkin became the most scandalous couple of the year and their relationship became the subject of intense media scrutiny.
Another scandalous song was lemon incest composed and performed by Serge Gainsbourg in duet with his daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg, recorded in 1984.

Swim
A live video feedback performance by VJ Jeff Mission. The smooth, colorful waves in this piece were generated by chaining together two pieces of equipment - an Edirol V4 video mixer, and a JVC JX-C7 Video Corrector - in a continuous loop, then making incremental adjustments to the settings on the JX-C7. The result is a digital organism, composed of pure feedback, that can be manipulated at will. The technique used in this piece is one of the core components of his live performances.

Liaisons Dangereuses
2009
Germany's Liaisons Dangereuses was a group that pioneered industrial dance music with their lone self-titled 1981 album. Beate Bartel (founding member of Einstürzende Neubauten, Mania D and Matador) and Chrislo Haas (founding member of DAF, member of Minus Delta T and Crime & the City Solution) formed the group in 1981 with vocalist Krishna Goineau; the group recorded a series of four ten-minute cassettes and then formed their only album from them. The group made several live appearances throughout the remainder of 1981 and 1982 and were occasionally joined by Anita Lane (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and Hideto Sasaki. Liaisons Dangereuses was originally issued by Teldec Import Services and was picked up by a couple other labels shortly thereafter. Once copies of a 1985 reissue on Roadrunner dried up, the album became an extremely sought-after collector's item, thanks in no small part to the number of prominent DJs -- primarily from Chicago's house and Detroit's techno scenes -- who frequently spun the album's "Los Niños del Parque." Hit Thing reissued the album on CD again in early 2003.

"Hurt" was written by Trent Reznor as a description of the pain caused by heroin addiction that appeared on Nine Inch Nail`s 1994 Downward Spiral.
He also offered this comment on the first time he witnessed the remaking of his song. "We were in the studio, getting ready to work ,- and I popped it in," Reznor says. "By the end I was really on the verge of tears. I'm working with Zach de la Rocha, and I told him to take a look. At the end of it, there was just dead silence. There was, like, this moist clearing of our throats and then, 'Uh, OK, let's get some coffee.''
