Ströme’s longplay debut “Ströme Nr. 2” is a characterful, wonderfully warm and sensitive yet powerful body of work. It is loaded with the ultrarare and cult Moog IIIp modular synthesizer sound (read more about the unique Moog IIIp below, and check the photos inside the 2xLP), and features other analog synths almost equipoised live-, or session-like with the modular sys- tem A100 by Doepfer. The A100 is Ströme’s main live equipment.

An album that fulfills all your dance needs (“Trang & Flinky” / “Panta Rhei”), let you relax to ambient spacey tracks (“Wasser” / ”Niki”) as well as serving pop (“Das Modul”, “Isolde”) and a booster dose of 60ties/70ties injected krauty songs. For the latter, Ströme (Mario Schönhofer and Tobias Weber) have hit pure gold here, as they team up with Nick McCarthy of Franz Fer- dinand for “Right Now”, “Das Modul” and the beautiful “Stadlberg”.

Two musicians from the brass techno band “LaBrassBanda” have successfully joined forces to create a mix of driving beats, analog synth melodies and live trumpet. They bring these sounds to the festival stages and into the clubs. Clear, unpolished sounds and dynamic drums are made completely live by modular synthesizers and by hand. That makes Ströme a unique live act.
