Double LP version, pressed on clear marbled vinyl. Marko Fürstenberg, currently living in Leipzig, has been experimenting with sound since 1999. Rooted in classical dub-techno, he not only knows how to interpret it, he's extending it further with his own personal aesthetic. In 2001, his first releases on a number of net-labels gained him a broad listenership. Then in 2003, his first album Gesamtlaufzeit (RC 003LP) was born. (Then years later, a son was born as well, but we'll get back to that.) Since 2005, Marko has been constantly releasing vinyl on labels such as Ornaments, A.r.t.less, Echocord Colour and Rotary Cocktail. And he's also done remixes for labels such as Resopal, Telrae, Freund der Familie, and many more, which all demonstrates the quality and sheer competence of his work. With his new album Ghosts from the Past, Mr. Fürstenberg doesn't say goodbye to an old chapter, but he's rather building a bridge to a new one. Familiar elements are the mortar to a complete musical piece, with an extended foundation, new accents, and a fresh face. GFTP is a musical retrospective of a new way of life -- with a child -- that was born in November 2010. The conception and creation of this album began to take form in parallel to that of his unborn son, as an almost aural twin. Marko's wife helped with the album artwork while also carrying a little Marko inside her. Meanwhile, over the three and a half years in production, Marko was also actively involving his now-toddler child in the sound research for his new album. "Stolbenkraft" includes made-up vocalizations from his son, mixed with a sneeze to a euphony. In "Woahhh," he's exploring the playful dispute of his offspring with several toys, e.g. a Thai wooden frog, amongst others. His tendency in his style of weaving pleasant sound experimentations is shown on the track "Piano," which reconstitutes moments of a piano concert, while putting them into new structures. Quite some time has passed in between each production, and the diverse accents of time in which this came together can be heard. Everything on this album melds together organically. On "GFTP," the Zeitgeist is touched, an Arabic singer can find her spotlight in a colorful soundscape, which alternately holds and catches us, and then ultimately lets us go again.

Marko Fürstenberg is a well-known dub techno act, who released his first album Gesamtlaufzeit on the Thinner mp3 label nearly 10 years ago. It's a true classic of the dub techno genre, but it was never released on vinyl. That's why Rotary Cocktail re-releases it with fresh edits and a new mastering. Gesamtlaufzeit was produced between March and September of 2003 -- every song crafted in a different environment where Marko resided, between his stays in Canada, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and his residence Thüringen/Germany. This is a diary, converted to music, with every location producing new impressions and creating diverse sample resources. Marko searches for natural sounds such as campfires crackles and rolling obstacles to give his tracks a certain identifying warmth. One can listen to the process of Fürstenberg's muscial maturity which is obvious by the versatility and detailed harmonic moods on this album. The tracks circle around dub house in the broader sense -- with rambling pads and endless modulated ambient spheres, tight groove monsters are created, underlaid with compressed bass drums whenever appropriate. Every track contains a certain grade of emotion and absolute dedication.
