Info

Like every music listener, who is interested in the scene, knows…Potsdamned´s Psychobilly band THEE FLANDERS exists since 20 years and was founded by Dennis (guitar) & Norman (vocalist). They made a lot and different albums, in the good known Psycho- / Punkabilly style. But now it’s going crazy:

The Potsdamned Psychobillys have released now a CD which is 0% Psychobilly but filled to the edge with DARK ELECTRO, SYNTHY-POP and EBM Remix versions.

You can hear both cover songs "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" by DEAD OR ALIVE as well as "Nightmares" by A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS. The songs were singing by two forefathers of the German underground music, BELA B. (Die ÄRZTE) and MARKUS MEYN (CAMOUFLAGE), in duet with Norman. Besides new stars and starlets of the electronic scene, real celebrities and veterans of the scene took part in the remix productions: T.A.N.K., DIE KRUPPS, ROBERT GÖRL (DAF), IN STRICT CONFIDENCE, LEAETHER STRIP, PATENBRIGADE: WOLF, SCHEUBER (PROJECT PITCHFORK) or DER FROST (EISFABRIK). Just to name a few of overall 20 versions. So it seems, they will be the first psychobilly band in the music history, with their own electronic album!! 100% EPM…ELECTRONIC PSYCHOBILLY MUSIC.

The primarily only for "you spin me round" and BELA B intended remixes got extended with a new song and a real celeb as guest singer: MARCUS MEYN, singer of the legendary german synth pop band CAMOUFLAGE. He contributed the recordings for the A FLOCK of SEAGULLS classic "nightmares".

Why of all things a remix album?

In the context of the THEE FLANDERS cover album "Graverrobbing 2", an collaboration with BELA B. has taken place. Mr. Felsenheimer was so kind to gave his voice for THEE FLANDERS coversong of the 80s Smasher "you spin me round…like a record" from DEAD or ALIVE. Now, BELA B. and Norman, sing in duet this popular song. The songs appeared in original on the regular album "Graverrobbing 2" and also with 4 different song versions, as limited vinyl single, in 3 special colours. Furthermore HALB-7-RECORDS released an extra CD, which comes, besides other audio carriers and utensils, in a quite nice wooden coffin box.

For that releases, two old friends of the band, has mixed the song in danceable SYNTH-POP (Klaak Remix) just for fun. Their idea turned out so well, that the band and the label decided to figure out a complete electronic album. It didnt take long till the first artists joined and started modules and synthesizer for the desired remix.

The design of the cover and the artwork by Norman Winter are perfectly matching with the music once more. The marked Flanders-Skull is, appropriate to the sound, framed by a glowing gear.
