Sun Powered by Michael Brückner
(61) SUN POWERED (2004)
This album is a collection of shorter, rather melodic and accessible, mostly rhythmic electronic instrumentals.
I find it a bit difficult to attribute a particular style to them - most of them are not exactly dance music, but no traditional EM either. Maybe an instrumental form of contemporary electro pop. One listener was reminded of Yello, or newer Kraftwerk tracks. Not sure if that's a good comparison (because I don't listen to Yello or Kraftwerk a lot) but there you go... ;-)
No further adventures were encountered while recording this album, therefore I have not a lot to report - just sat down one day and did it (OK, several days...).
The album title hints at my other personality as an ecological activist. Well, or rather "passivist", I guess, because my main contribution to protect the environment mostly consisted of avoiding activities which might harm it, but anyway: nature is close to my heart, and so it should be to any creature living in it. Just saying... :-)
