This is the third album from band/collective Warren Suicide, formed by Cherie and Nackt from Berlin. And this album is phantasmagorical, literally -- a declaration of peace, a gentle giant. Because after Hello/Warren Suicide and Requiem For A Missing Link, World Warren III abandons the disruption of genres and binary code, in favor of a third principle: Warren Peace. Duality does not mean conflict, but serves as a source for a new feeling: being able to pick one of the energies permanently alternating between "war and peace." Such is the sound of their music, confidently turning away from the past. WWIII is instead a story of science fiction and lust, an analog vision full of optimism. Songs like "In Love With The Enemy," "Animal Party" or "Moving Close" (with T.Raumschmiere as guest vocalist) whoosh, chirp and rumble with their very own, unheard-of groove. The spirit of a sound is conjured, as plug-in-ready as a book, as a Technicolor film, like a cinematic journey, captivating as anything. This music has carte blanche and chooses freedom: in love and in anarchy. Wanting more -- that's the principle Warren Suicide have been building on right from the start. With World Warren III, the two have carried their "cosmos" ideology to the extremes. Thus reads the list of the Warren cosmonauts: Earl Harvin (Air, Tindersticks), Andrew Unruh (Einstürzende Neubauten) and Ben Lauber (Transporterraum) as drummer, the Berlin/Göteborg String Theory orchestra, Warren tour companions Arne Augustin (Nena), Giovanni Nicoletta (Apparat) on keyboards, T.Raumschmiere as musician/vocalist and many more -- over 50 people. This splendid plethora has been co-organized by Moses Schneider (Tocotronic, Beatsteaks, Dendemann), who also co-produced the album.
