Metroland - Triadic Ballet
Passengers A. and S., the sonic engineers of Metroland, since their impressive debut released in 2012, instantly established their vintage electronic trademark sound.
Inspired by the basic principles of design in general, embodied the Bauhaus movement into the sound. The idea of creating a total movement, where all art forms would be present, sparked a creative avalanche, with a huge and lasting influence - to this day – e. g. on art, architecture, graphic design, interior design.
Metroland’s "Triadic Ballet" album are three silvery discs, where in a Bauhaus-inspired deluxe box package are: Disc 1, aptly titled ‘Unity’, starts off with a trilogy of "Design", emphasizing – again – unity, variety and hierarchy; Disc 2 and 3, which belong to the remixers.. They took the songs, filtered them through their own artistic sieve and came up with results as diverse as they are interesting: from the synthpop to the electro, or the minimal ebm. All in all, it is a different journey than Disc 1, for sure. But those who stick with it to the end, may find it a rewarding addition to the voyage.
