Steve Morell - Loneliness 12" Single - OUT NOW Get Free MP3 here

                 Cover Photo & Artwork © By Violeta Leiva Martinez

Catalogue No.: PALE031
Release Date: 2010/01

Track list
A1 Loneliness (Alexander Hacke RMX)
A2 Loneliness (Original Version)
B1 Loneliness (Punx Soundcheck RMX)
B3 Loneliness (Electronic Mix)

With his first 12“ single release taken from the anticipated album “The Life and Death of Jimmy Pheres and his Rise from the Underworld”, Steve Morell offers the listener a perfect and diverse introduction into his dark, delicate, even philosophical musical world.

“Loneliness”, the original version is a beautiful but unusual ballad. The listener is warped into Morell 's world, enchanted and haunted at once. Produced by Ragnar and Morell himself. The Solitary Doom Re-Mix by 'Alexander Hacke ' (Einstürzende Neubauten) takes the haunted song to another level. “ Hacke” created the perfect background for any horror movie! UK's award winning electro producers 'Punx Soundcheck ' turn the track upside down without loosing its essence, garnished with the finest of electro tunes that, paired with Johanna Sadonis' voice make up a sung dialogue that will make you dance with pleasure! Luis Miguilez (Glamour To Kill ) added his talent on the electronic version, whilst upcoming photographer Violeta Leiva Martinez did the artwork for the cover. A beautiful art video is expected to come out soon by James Slater (Kaiser Chiefs, Norah Jones. Ladytron)

 Ein Spielfilm verschwindet im Giftschrank, weil er – vermeintlich oder tatsächlich – gegen Gesetze verstößt. Eine Dokumentation wird erst gar nicht gedreht, weil das Justiziariat sagt, man könne die zu erwartenden Klagen nicht durchstehen. Zugleich: Filme, die nach geltendem Recht verboten sind, können weltweit angeschaut werden – drei Aspekte des selben Themas. Das Symposium „Verbotene Filme“ vom 8. bis zum 10. September 2010 wird sich damit auseinandersetzen, welche rechtlichen Beschränkungen von Filmen es gibt und wie sie sich auf die Produktion, Distribution und Rezeption auswirken.

- “Kane & Lynch 2” reached No. 1 Games Charts  UK last week after release august 20th

                     Mona Mur & En Esch - Reboot.FM Studios Berlin

MONA MUR, Sängerin in eigener Kategorie,“ zeichnete in den 80er Jahren gemeinsam mit FM Einheit, Alexander Hacke und Mark Chung von den „Einstürzenden Neubauten” für Undergroundhits wie „Snake”, „120 Tage“ oder „Eintagsfliegen” verantwortlich. Gleich ihre erste Veröffentlichung, die 12“ „Jeszcze Polska“ wurde vom Londoner NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS gefeiert. Die manisch-exzessiven Liveauftritte in morbidem Slowbeat-Chic machten die Künstlerin in internationalen Avantgardekreisen bekannt und begründeten ihren bis heute gültigen Kultstatus. Ihre Songs finden sich in Filmen wie Fatih Akin’s preisgekröntem Liebesdrama “Gegen die Wand“.

Mur, auch erfolgreiche Kampfsportlerin (3.DAN Taekwondo) und Komponistin für Computergames („Kane & Lynch2:Dog Days“, „Ballance“, „Velvet Assassin“ ), hat nun einen kongenialen Partner gefunden, dessen Name für trickreiche Arrangements und explosive Bühnenshows steht: EN ESCH, bekannt als charismatischer Frontmann und Mitbegründer der deutsch/amerikanischen Elektro-Rocker KMFDM sowie PIGFACE und SLICK IDIOT, Multiinstrumentalist und Producer. Nach 20 Jahren in der Techno-Industrial- Szene, über 20 CD – Produktionen mit KMFDM und solo, und ungezählten Liveauftritten in der ganzen Welt genießt der spektakuläre Performer und versierte Gitarrist ebenfalls Kultstatus in seiner „Larger-than-Live“ – Bühnenpersönlichkeit.

Mona Mur, En Esch & Steve Morell - Interview - The Zero Hour Show

Das Duo MUR/ESCH hat Mona’s 80s Songs von Liebe, Tod, Wahnsinn, Schmerz und Schönheit in einen Malstrom aus hysterischen Drum & Bass-Loops, entfesselten Orgeln und dreckigen Feedbackgitarren getaucht. Neue, gemeinsam komponierte und gesungene Brachial-Elektro-Hymnen verschärfen die Mischung. On stage dabei: Drummer Johann Bley („Juno Reactor“, „Killing Joke“, Holger Hiller). Die Debut-CD „120 Tage – The Fine Art of Beauty and Violence” erschien Februar 2009 bei PALE MUSIC International und in Lizenz bei ARTOFFACT Records, Toronto, im August 2010. Ein zweites Album ist für Herbst 2010 geplant. 

MUR/ESCH performten in Basel, Kopenhagen, Prag (DROPDEAD FESTIVAL), Hamburg, Oberhausen, Moskau, St. Petersburg, Warschau, auf dem Avantgarde Festival Schiphorst, BERLIN INSANE Fest, vor dem HAMBURGER BAHNHOF MUSEUM Berlin, wurden interviewt von ARTE TV für die Serie „Welcome to the 80s“, gefeatured in POP MATTERS und als 3D Computergame-Charactere verewigt („CULPA INNATA 2 – Chaos Rising“).Sie spielten ALTERNATIVA Festival Prag, WROCLAW INDUSTRIAL FESTIVAL, KURT-WEILL-FESTIVAL, 2010 sind sie auf dem Wave Gotik Treffen, auf USA –Tournee mit SLICK IDIOT und in Kanada

The Zero Hour #3 - Hosted By Steve Morell Guests: Noblesse Oblige


                         Noblesse Oblige - Malady - Cover

Two years after the release of In Exile, Noblesse Oblige release their 3rd album Malady, an occult concept album that cites the visual mysticism of Kenneth Anger, Aleister Crowley’s storytelling, and the morbid melancholy of Christina Rossetti’s poetry. The album is the conclusion of an exploration of the occult, initiated by the band’s involvement in Robert Pacitti’s 2009 London Spill Festival Tarot Deck project, for which Noblesse Oblige (in collaboration with photographer Manuel Vason) were asked to visualize their own interpretation of The Lovers Major Arcana card.

             Noblessew Oblige in front of Reboot.FM Studios Berlin

Further inspiration was the Voodoo literature by Haitian writer Rene Depestre and readings of field research work by anthropologist E.E. Evans-Pritchard and his studies of witchcraft and magic among African tribes. The aura of these texts and stories have been incorporated in many of the songs while Valerie, who during her teenage years lived on the French Caribbean island of Martinique — one of the heartlands of voodoo practice — worked up her own memories of myths and stories told by the locals, including her voodoo priestess neighbour.
Fittingly, the production of the album also features several exotic ingredients such as timbales, kazoo and ukulele in continuation of the band’s use of world music sounds, mixed with their traditional blend of kitsch and new wave theatricality — for as dark its subject matter is, Malady contains some Noblesse Oblige’s most melodic and poppy moments yet.

           Noblesse Oblige & Steve Morell in an Zero Hour Interview

Steve Morell about Noblesse Oblige Album - Malady

It’s a warm, darkly erotic, timeless summer album that catched me and still does as soon as the weather is good in our city. If it is obvious that Noblesse Oblige put their hit at the beginning of the opus with „The Great Electrifier“, what follows is no boredom. On the contrary, they proved that you can still keep the listener on the edge of his seat for a whole album. Just before my two favourite songs, „Equinox“ and „Moonchild“ (...) We fell in love with the summer breeze that surrounds us and all we need is to sit down in the mildness, forget the raw cold air of our dear city. I’m inevitably wondering if it’s gonna go on like this until the end or if something else will surprise me (...) . They celebrate the rite of love and warm darkness. They attire mystical concepts, drift on their „Way to Equinox“ and meet Severin Von Kusiemski in the hot sand where the devil’s ransom hides, all that in the name of the greek god Pan and his flute... We just relax and let them lead us without any resistance. After a first quick listen, one could think that it is the perfect disc for the gothic scene. In fact it is much more thant this. The „true purist gothic scene“ could not consider it as its album since it is much too sunny, even sprinkled with mambo and salsa, and this is good like this! (...) . No! You have to love this album, learn to love it, like the dark though pleasant contemporary times in which we live. Noblesse Oblige went their own way, they moved on and remained honest yet. The question now is to know where this „way to the equinox“ will drive them after this timeless album called „Malady“, which will probably not be considered as it should be before a couple of years.

Zero Hour #2 - Hosted by Steve Morell - guest Maximilian Hecker

              Maximilian Hecker - I Am Nothing But Emotion - Cover

On the second volume of “The Zero Hour” Steve Morell is very honoured to have a very special studio guest in his radio show. He invites Mr. Maximilian Hecker into a two hour lifetime retrospective. He is gonna dive deep with Maximilian Hecker into his roots, to his early years and into his new album as well as in the both gonna present electronic works from Maximilian Hecker which are more or less unknown and unreleased. Steve Morell is going down in a deep talk with Maximilian Hecker about his lyrics and the meaning and deepness of his music. Maximilian Hecker was born in 1977 in Germany & lives in Berlin. His music he discribes his music as “melancholic pophymns”. 2003/2004 he went together with Barbara Morgenstern supported by the Goethe Institute on World Tour. Heckers first Album “Infinite Lovesongs” were voted by the “New York Times” as best album of the year in 2001.


Steve Morell writes about his new album:

"Maximilian Hecker - I Am Nothing But Emotion, No Human Being, No Son,Never Again Son" Ist die wahrhaftige Krönung seines Schaffens. Ein Album was einfach mal nicht mehr Tiefe haben könnte. Es berührt dich vom ersten Track an. Vom Intro bis zum Hidden Track, welcher meiner Meinung nach einer der besten Interpretationen eines Bob Dylan Stückes ist, die ich jemals gehört habe, ausschalten ist definitiv unmöglich. Es veranlasst den Hörer gekonnt zum nochmaligen PLAY drücken. Habe es im Auto nach Prague gehört und mal einfach 4 1/2 stunden nichts anderes gehört. Es war einfach nicht möglich was anderes anzumachen. Musikalische Arangements und die Lyrics, die Art seines Gesangs und eine perfekt gewähle Aufnahmetechnick auf diesem Album übertreffen einfach sein komplett vorheriges Schaffenswerk,wie tief muss ein Mensch in sich gehen um solche Lieder zu schreiben, um diesen Ausdruck von Liebe, Frustration, Traurigkeit und Glücklichkeit auf einem Album zu vereinen ? Aber trotzdem sind diese Songs so mit Positivität getränken, dass es einem den Atem nimmt und nach dem hören man einfach nur das Gefühl hat,sich damit zu identifizieren. Ein Album was einem auch bei mehrmaligen Hören immer wieder neue Inspirationsquellen zuführt ..Es war das Beste was ich mit meiner Zeit machen konnte, auf dem Weg nach Prague. Respekt an einen grossartigen Künstler welcher sich in einer kaputten & kranken Zeit, selbst immer wieder neu erfindet ohne das es langweilig wird oder er sich untreu wird !
Steve Morell (Berlin Juni 2010)

In 2008, Maximilian Hecker reached a point at which he was no longer able to find any satisfaction in his career. He felt that, since the decision he had taken seven years earlier to make music his profession, he had seldom been successful in expressing genuine emotion in concerts or studio recordings. Hecker felt himself to be constricted in a corset of perfectionism and conventions – partly self-inflicted, partly dictated by outsiders. Retrospectively, he explained, that a large part of what he had achieved on stage and in thestudio had been only a rudimentary excerpt of his feelings, that the channel to his soul felt as if it had been obstructed in such recordings and live performances.

The studio work on his last album »One Day« in April 2008 turned into some kind of torture for Hecker; a smouldering, gnawing fear of failure became his constant companion. He lost his voice, meaning that recordings had to be interrupted for weeks at a time. And his seventh tour of Asia that took place in November of the same year turned into an excruciating experience for him: sold-out concerts, the frequently quoted “squealing girls”, but Hecker did not find any redemption for his »death of heart«.

              Maximilian Hecker & Steve Morell - The Zero Hour

And then there was Nana. Nana, a Japanese prostitute whom Hecker met in Tokyo at the moment he was at rock bottom. This encounter, which was cathartic and traumatic at the same time – described in the song of the same name on the album – heralded for Hecker his »decomposing mode«, as he calls it: in order to »survive«, he started to destroy all the suffocating elements in his environment – he liberated himself from narcissistic demands, stopped shaving, wore jogging pants as everyday clothing, distanced himself from women, even from the idea of finding true love one day. And he began to make street music again, or rather, to »meditate publicly«, up to six hours at a time, just singing if no one was specifically listening to him – for this was the only way to keep open the path to his soul.

And eventually, Maximilian Hecker began to record his new songs at home, shortly after composing them, using the simplest equipment (often only one room microphone). Exposed to all the street noise and »dirt«. Holding on to the moment of inspiration. Hecker’s soul, his pure emotions immortalised on tape.

All rational processes that before had deadened and delayed Hecker’s feeling – such as arranging, determining the instrumentation, writing succinct lyrics (the lyrics on the album derive largely from a stream of consciousness emanating directly from his heart, improvised at the moment of recording) and finally the professional recording – these were eliminated. Just the essence remains: the pure emotion, the pure artistic innocence. This [quote from Hecker] »challenge to the music business« gives Hecker the musical feeling he believed was lost, brings him artistic bliss and the missing identification with his own work.
