Airy atmospheres, evocative vocals, subtle orchestral movements, and symmetrical synthlines blend together over gritty and addictive broken beatwork to create a dense and engaging listening experience.

The CD will be initially available in a 'Muda na Mono' puzzle pack, the name taken from a Japanese phrase meaning ‘pointless object’. It contains two die-cut rings and a CD which can be assembled as per the diagram above. If correctly aligned, the sphere created allows the track titles to be read. The packaging reflects a desire to give the CD an ornamental function, beyond its one use as a basic storage device for music.

This apparat is one with flexible functions, and its sound is as eclectic as its musical horizon is broad. Its emotional chip features an option on happiness and its sound waves are able to tear your heart apart. While sensitively orchestrating his chamber musical qualities on his records or in his studio, his live performances are known for kicking some ass! He can also proudly refer to a John-Peel-Session and is sporadically working with Gianna Nannini on a Rock Opera.
Sascha Ring, aka Apparat, regards his moving out of the east German provincial backwater to Berlin in 1997 as one of his best decisions ever made. Since 1999 he runs, together with T.Raumschmiere, the Berlin based record label "Shitkatapult" - a venturous music catapult that dashes a wild mixture of intentional great music onto the turntables of the world. Apparat is the bridge over the German gap of melancholic glitch between Manchester and Laptop-USA. His smart wiring of emotions produces a virtual musical reality, which is based upon different genres, depending on the surrounding of the "apparat". In his studio, dense, dark and majestic clouds of elegiac pop and heavy Electronica built up to a coherent and emotionally charged atmosphere. Live, on the other hand, the dance floor seems to be repelled to rave from the Bermuda Triangle with its axes Techno, IDM and Elektro. Those styles cannot necessarily be distinguished and heard on every of his releases, but since he started out with a much harder pace of electronic music in the early nineties, his influences are definitely Techno and Elektro as well.
The intensity in Apparats tracks seems to grow with his own pleasure in experimenting. The charming breaking-up of the mechanical walkover of his Elektronica compositions first being subtle clicks and accidental "sound mistakes", this is now being done by veritable musicians and singers, by classical instruments like violin and cello, saxophone and clarinet, which are then masterly orchestrated by Apparat as the Maestro of his computer.

MOTORO FAAM is hailed from Kanagawa, Japan and is an act made by three 23 years old musicians. Mizukami Ryuta takes care of the electronic side of this unique project (samples and programming) while Kobara Daisuke (violin) and Kato Ayumi (piano) both classical educate have a main input in the musical part. MOTORO FAAM brings a perfect blending of weird electronica with beautiful played violin and piano. The general sound can be described as Murcof or Donato Wharton in a very experimental state of mind. U-cover is pleased to have this act on their roster and a follow up release on the new U-cover transparente label is already planned for this year. With Fragments these three Japanese youngsters brings their European debut, seven tracks full of emotions, strange sounds and touching melodies. MOTORO FAAM is an act with some great future and Fragments can be seen as a big musical statement.

刚 刚听到这个乐队的东西的时候,马上就被他们的可爱逗笑了,跳跃的节奏,顽皮的音色,好像让人感觉到一群孩子手拉着手围着你高兴的跳着,笑着.有时又能感到我们坐在一堆铁皮玩具中,兴奋的看着他们走来走去.歌曲中类似于风铃的音色又把我们带回到童年的夏日夜晚,吹着清凉的微风,看着月亮星星在空中向我们微笑...
