technoir Groundlevel CD (not Ace Of Base!)

[becleave]

Let me start by saying, "This is NOT Ace Of Base !!"
This is a group from Germany. You can view the group members at -
http://www.technoir.de/abouttechnoir.html .
I ordered this CD in May 2004 . It is still on back order, more than 2 years later.
History:
Groundlevel was released in 2001, and was immediately 'pulled' from the shelf
due to a "copyright infringement" lawsuit .
That is to say, IF it was ever on shelves.
It was cleared for release in 2003,with no copyright infringements found by a court.
The CD has 13 songs. I added two "singles" Last Tears and Growing(Melancholy Mix)
for a complete collection of 15 songs. A rare collection, indeed. :-) -
I would describe the music as "dark" electronica and not for everyone...
oh and, the "t" in technoir is not capitalized, it is small ;-) !

After somewhere around 5 years, Technoir have signed to a new label and will soon be releasing a new album. Titled "Deliberately Fragile," the sound is said to be darker and more melodic than the previous album, with more emphasis on Julia's vocals.

The first new track to be released is "Liar," on the Sounds from the Matrix 003 compilation. It's available on iTunes, too.

I'm actually quite excited for this as I've always really liked their sound. Also, the vocalist sounds much like a mix of Jenny and Linn.

Furthermore, much like Ace of Base, Technoir have adopted a more grown-up look for their recent photoshoots and promotion. Check out http://www.myspace.com/technoirmusic to preview a couple tracks and see the latest news and photos.
