German a cappella mathematical group Wise Guys were a almost unlikely success chronicle. Not only ar a cappella groups a echt rarity in the twenty-first one C, simply the barbershop-style quintet managed to hit remarkable commercial success in the German-language earth, selling out concerts and cathartic increasingly popular albums. It helped, of course, that the group panax quinquefolius laughable, often humorous pop songs that appropriated aspects of concurrently popular music, from rap and reggae to careen and techno -- all the while singing alone relieve of musical instruments. The popularity of the Wise Guys seemed to reach an acme with Wireless (2006), a concept album fashioned in the manner of a radio air, including jingles and news bulletins (even a horoscope). Wireless ailing at number trey on the German album charts, held back from the phone number one spot only by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Silbermond; it remained in the Top 100 for 15 weeks -- non spoilt for an a cappella handout.The Wise Guys began in Cologne, Germany, where members Daniel Dickopf, Edzard HÃ¼neke, Marc Sahr, Clemens Tewinkel, and Christoph Tettinger were enrolled as students from 1981 to 1990 at Hildegard von Bingen Gymnasium. Upon graduation, they began pursuing a professional music career and made their recording debut with Dut-Dut-Duah! (1994), which was by and large in English and included some covers (e.g., "VIII Days a Week"). Tettinger leftfield the group in 1995 and was replaced by Ferenc Husta, wHO made his debut on the following Wise Guys tone ending, Haarige Zeiten (1996), which exhibited a change over toward original German-language real. Thereafter the guys were offered a recording sign up with EMI, and they proceeded to track record their first-class honours degree album in a professional studio with a genuine producer, Uwe Baltrusch, wHO would go along to work with the Wise Guys on sequent albums. The result, Alles im GrÃ¼nen Bereich (1997), was almost entirely written by Dickopf and sung dynasty in German, with the exception of a Billy Joel insure ("Lullabye [Goodnight, My Angel]"), and so was the next Wise Guys album, Skandal (1999), which included some other Joel insure ("Stem Beer Rag"), a insure of Extreme's "More Than Words," and almost divertingly, one of the co-occurrent James Bond paper song, "Bucephela clangula."The Wise Guys had started to put on commercial traction round this meter. They affected to Pavement Records and released Live (2000), a concert display case featuring the majority of their best songs to date. It was their first to crack the German Top 100 record album chart, arrival number 93. Their next, Ganz Weit Vorne (2001), did more than crack the Top 100; it over up breaking the Top 50, partly on story of the group's first bona fide shoot single, "Jetzt Ist Sommer." The Wise Guys' hit stripe continued with Klartext (2003) and Wo der Pfeffer WÃ¤chst (2004), and they served their intumescency fan foundation a phone number of non-album releases, including a pair of EPs (FrÃ¼her, 2004; Weltmeister, 2005) and DVDs (Impertinent Guys, 2003; Wise Guys Spezialnacht Philipshalle DÃ¼sseldorf, 6. November 2004, 2005), in addition to steady concert appearances passim the German-language earth. All of this activity rig the leg for Radio (2006), the most successful Wise Guys tone ending to date. Fashioned in the manner of a radio broadcast, the concept album peaked at issue trey on the album chart and remained in the Top hundred for an impressive 15 weeks, affirming the singular popularity of the Wise Guys. An iTunes-exclusive individual, "Klinsi, Warum Hast Du hyrax Getan?," was besides issued in 2006.

This Empty Flow

Artist: This Empty Flow

   Genre(s):
Rock

Discography:

Magenta Skycode

Year: 1996
Tracks: 8

The Scandinavian experimental radical This Empty Flow never achieved the success of their aspiration pop/space rock peers. They were every bit charming and sonically gorgeous, however they'd never gain the praise similar to the likes of Mogwai and Sigur RÃ³s. Formed in their native Turku, Finland, in 1994, Jori SjÃ¶roos (vocals/guitar), Niko SirkiÃ¤ (keyboards), and Aku-Tuomas Mattila (bass) created a flabby, indie reasoned and home-recorded various demo tapes. The following year, This Empty Flow sent a tapeline to the Italian mark Avantgarde Music and inked a cope in April. By September, they were in the studio qualification an album. Magenta Skycode (1996) was the fruit of those roger Sessions. The album's manufacturer, Jukka SillanpÃ¤Ã¤, was now a part of the band as the prime guitarist, however friction inside the group was brewing. SirkiÃ¤ left prior to the year's end to focus on his possess projects and the musical direction of banding was no longer in clutch. This Empty Flow had only played deuce concerts, both in Finland, by 1997, however a shift in bandmembers brought some hope back to the frazzle.

Hanna Kalske was brought on board to play keyboards and This Empty Flow spent the next class and a half recording and rehearsing for a second album. Three Empty Boys was a roughhewn EP issued by Matilla's Plastic Passion imprint in 1999. A year later on, Muovi 111 released another outtakes EP entitled Useless and Empty Songs. The band's punk-inspired ambiance was more than apparent via remixes and demos; the EP also sold for a limited edition 111 copies. Still, This Empty Flow was a fragile land. Matilla was functional with his previous group, Sad Parade, whereas SjÃ¶roos had Fun-Tourist and SirkiÃ¤ was attached to Niko Skorpio & A\\H. Eibon Records, an Italian allocator, contacted the lot in late 2000 and This Empty Flow was persuaded enough to compile an album of rare and unreleased material. Nowafter, in all probability the best cause showcasing the band's impeccable sweetheart, appeared in 2001 while the name This Empty Flow most disappeared.

After the release of the undivided "Blind Hearts," Xymox left 4AD and joined Polygram/Wing.

In 1989, Xymox released Twist of Shadows, their most commercially successful LP, marketing 300,000 copies. The infectious and uncharacteristically upbeat "Capital of Arizona of My Heart" landed on the modern sway charts in 1991. However, the full-length Genus Phoenix didn't do as well as Turn of Shadows. Wolbert at rest from the band that year, replaced by bassist Mojca Zugna. In 1992, Xymox left Polygram/Wing for ZOK Records. Xymox record two albums for ZOK Records -- 1992's Metamorphosis and 1993's Headclouds -- in front switch to Tess Records in 1997 for the record album Hidden Faces. Moreover, Moorings called the group Clan of Xymox once again.

In 1999, they signed with the Metropolis pronounce and released Creatures, which was followed a year by and by by the two-CD Hot. The 2001 record album Notes from the Underground was reinterpreted on the double remix CD Remixes from the Underground, which landed in 2002. Farewell from 2003 was a themed album with bittersweet nightshade goodbyes to lovers and friends the main topics. The 2004 appeal The Best of Clan of Xymox constitute latter-day highlights side by side to re-recordings of the band's early material.
