Double LP version. A mesmerizing trip from Krautland through electronic fields to hypnotonia, exploring the textures of haunting melodies, luscious dreamscapes and tribal, dancefloor-ready beats. After their highly acclaimed debut album Im Klanggarten (2017) (on Bigamo, the label of Frank Wiedemann and Ame), Im Tiefenrausch is Fred Und Luna's next fascinating step in their Elektrokraut/Krautelektro series. Who are Fred Und Luna? Fred Und Luna are two mannequins living in a fashion boutique in Karlsruhe, Germany. They serve as muse for musician, lector, poet and photo/video maker Rainer Buchmüller. Inspired by his doll friends and his love for German electronic music of the past decades, Buchmüller under the alias "Fred Und Luna" produces his self-created genres Elektrokraut and Krautelektro: both a modern combination of repetitive rhythms, beautiful melodies, electronic soundscapes and elements from the krautrock era. Under the name of Ariston Baton, Buchmüller also writes and performs sound poems and concrete poetry. At live events and especially at exhibitions, Ariston Baton joins "Fred Und Luna" and Buchmüller's third identity Vizudaru Nono, who contributes video and photo projections. Together they form the so-called Equipe Nadaphysique. The next exhibition featuring all three named personalities will take place end of October 2018 at Rockomotives Festival in Vendôme, France. A brief history of Fred Und Luna Having previously released the EP Glück Auf (OM 034EP, 2016) on the Scottish label Optimo Music and being remixed by Prins Thomas for the Berlin label Innervisions, the year 2017 saw Fred Und Luna feature their debut album Im Klanggarten on Frank Wiedemann's (Âme, Howling) newly-founded label Bigamo Musik. After the first editions of both the EP and LP both sold out quickly, live shows in Germany, France and England followed as well as remixes for Peter Pardeike (Connaisseur Recordings) and a common release with Trikk on Innervisions, among others. A team-up with Achim Treu (UFO Hawaii) resulted in several remixes for international musicians.
