Due to the success of the mp3.com Christmas surprise action and the interest
it has triggered, Wave World has decided to release these tracks on CD. The
75 minutes (!) album will be titled "Another strange Day on Gonxa" and
contains 8 original Wave World tracks dating from 1996 and 1997. The music
has been digitally remastered from the original session tapes and sounds as
if it were recorded in 2002. None of the tracks have been released on CD
before, except for the title track, which has been on the cover CD of the
British Magazine "Sequences" a couple of years ago.
There were two main reasons to release this CD right now. First, many people
have been asking us "what happened to those old songs?" Second; when we
placed some of these tracks on mp3.com,last December,
we received numerous requests from people asking us if they could buy the CD. We then figured it
would it be a shame not to release these tracks that belong to the earlier
Wave World era. So there you go...!
The songs on "Another strange Day on Gonxa" can be described as melodic
electronic music with a lot of sequences and a lot of rhythm. People who
already know the music of Wave World might probably recognise the style of
our other albums in some places. A nice puzzle if you like to get deeper
into the music.
There will be some interesting surprises too, one of which we will disclose
here, because many people have been asking us about this. One of the tracks
is the "Klaus Schulze remix" of the track "Biosphere", that has been
released on the Solipsist Paradise album "Aware" in 1996. You can hear Klaus
play his typical percussion, and the bassline is done by Jorg Schaaf...
"Another strange Day on Gonxa" will be released at the Alfa Centauri
Festival in Bussum, The Netherlands on Saturday March 16, 2002. More
information about this festival is available at www.alfacentauri.nl
Tickets for this Festival are still available, but it is not sure for how
long...
If you are able to obtain a ticket, you are cordially invited to visit the
big Wave World stand at the Alfa Centauri Festival. Oh, and there will be
free Wave World cookies with your coffee...
