Karsten Pflum – Dode
The title and concept for his third full length release was inspired from 1980's Swedish roleplaying game "Draker Och Demoner Expert" (Dragons and Demons Expert), abbreviated Dode. The album tells a kind of cyclic tale of a nomadic outcast who encounters different places and beings on his desperate search for glory. Besides the Dode game many classic fantasy images and clichés poured into the music while Karsten dove back into the old books, looked at the illustrations and absorbed the atmospheres to create imaginary landscapes based on these topics with electronics and manipulated voices.
Musically motivated by a various array of artists such as Chris Carter, E.R.P., Arpanet, and even Depeche Mode, the eleven tracks abduct the listener into an aural parallel universe. Terms like drum and bass, electro and ambient can be correctly used while describing this album, yet the unusual way these styles are executed, combined with an emotional roller coaster of moods generated by Karsten Pflum's tremendous skills make this album a uniqe masterpiece of contemporary electronica.
