  • Circle Of Infinite Radius

    PROCD028

    Artist: System

    Label: Progress Productions

    SYSTEM was formed in the mid 90s by Herr A and Herr B. The two electronically inclined gentlemen had known each other since the mid-80's and shared a common love for all things synthetic. They started playing music together under the name Die von Kempelens but never released anything officially under that moniker.

    Later as the two gentlemen had developed their own music production technique and the sound progressed, Die von Kempelens seamlessly transformed into SYSTEM and a new era in electronic music was born.

    The idea that fuelled SYSTEMs earliest creations and paved way for the unmistakable sound of SYSTEM was to make music with vintage analogue synthesizers and drum machines and to use computers as little as possible. In effect the computers only role was to provide the speech synthesis that replaced the human vocals.

    Although all sound sources used in SYSTEMs music are still analogue new technology has been incorporated in SYSTEMs creative process. SYSTEMs music has often been described as robotic, cold and rhythmic. Lyrically their songs often revolve around themes pertaining to human-machine interaction, extreme psychological states and the natural sciences.

    To date SYSTEM has released three full length albums, three EPs and contributed tracks to a slew of compilation albums. They have also played live a lot both in Sweden and abroad and received great reviews, because of the strong emphasis on graphic complements to the music.

  • Tempo EP

    RUMPEP001

    Artist: System

    Label: Rump Recordings

    New material from Denmarks 3 electronic pioneers is a quite rare experience.
    No wonder when you look at the groupmembers solo-output and label involvement. Many of Anders Remmer´s Dub Tractor releases on City Center Offices as well as Thomas Knak´s Opiate releases on April, Morr Music and Raster Noton (with Alva Noto as Opto) has long been acclaimed as milestones in modern electronic music.
    Thomas Knak has also been busy with his Hobby Industries label, producing for Björk on the Vespertine album as well as remixing for Efterklang, Sketch Show and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
    And then there is Jesper Skaanings´s Acustic project, which was featured on Rump in 2005 with the ”Welcome” album.

    So after 5 years of silence, System is back with an EP entitled “Tempo EP” that shows the trio in more unfamiliar upbeat territories.
    This doesn´t really come as a big surprise though. Since the early Future 3-days, the trio has found pleasure in experimenting with different electronic genres of the day, from the melodic dub-ambient on the debut ”We are the Future 3” to the understated escapades into drum´n´bass on their breakthrough hit: ”The Boy From West Bronx” from 1998´s ”Stay With”.
    Where ”Like...” from 2001 was close to being pop-electronica, the ”System” album from 2002 (released on Scape) saw the trio break away from the melodicism that had characterized their work since the beginning.
    The sound on the album was so strinkingly different that the group felt a new name, Syste...
