APRIL-MAY 2006 INFO

• ExHUMAN LIMITED EDITIONS ARE SOLD OUT !

• A4 and A3 Prints of the ExHuman photos and nearly all the book photos are available (high quality carbon ink prints on archival paper) and some gelatin silver prints. Prices & shipping options on request to baintotal@wanadoo.fr as well as some rare limited products.

• ExHuman - second part of the InHuman/ExHuman diptych -, exposes the other face of DIE FORM where the thematic and sounds are more directed towards abstraction, electronic and geometry. Always in search of new experiments, the voices were the object of hybridizations and futurist sonorities were mixed with traditional analog sounds. Three new video-clips are also present on the DVD included in the original edition in DinA5 hardcover book-format CD/DVD. The booklet is composed of photograms and images staging bodies and objects in settings with cubist accents.

ExHuman - second volet du diptyque InHuman/ExHuman -, expose l'autre face de DIE FORM où les sons et la thématique sont davantage orientés vers l'abstraction, l'électronique et la géométrie. Toujours à la recherche de nouvelles expérimentations, les voix ont fait l'objet d'hybridations et les sonorités futuristes ont été mixées avec des sons analogiques traditionnels. Trois nouveaux vidéo-clips sont également présents sur le DVD qui accompagne l'édition originale en format livre-CD/DVD A5. Le livret est composé de photogrammes et d'images mettant en scène corps et objets dans des décors aux accents cubistes.

Whatever you may call their artistic accomplishment - be it Dark Electro, Neo Classic or Avantgarde - DIE FORM play in a league of their own. Having been pioneers of dark electronic music for 25 years they are still one step ahead of anyone else. "ExHuman" manages to captivate us by a raw, almost tangible directness that can be felt especially in songs such as “Neo Futura RMX" where impelling dance beats sound like whippings, or "Chaos Theory" which is very likely to become (thanks to its post-industrial rhythms) the band's new club hit along with "Nox ExHumana RMX". However, "ExHuman" is not only meant to be a club album but holds a variety of other styles: songs with soundtrack-like elegance and profoundness such as "Pendulum/Dismember" take turns with Dark Ambient sounds as represented in "Electroid" and "New Erotica". "ExHuman" is spheric, sombre, complex and -as usual- very innovative. The isolation of the creational process, nightshifts, the bleak, cold and sterile atmosphere, in short, all the familiar yet strange elements which are so typical for DIE FORM do also unfold on this album.
