We are bandaloop. from Cologne, Germany. Since 1996 we have been producing a blend of electronica, trip hop, pop and a pinch of industrial.
listener’s comments
„This is a fantastic, vastly underrated album. I first heard Bandaloop on the soundtrack for the German movie “Im Juli” some years ago and knew I just had to get more of their music. Aromatik is like a blend of eletronica, pop, and dash of industrial; a very unique and addicting formula! “Weaver” is probably my favorite song for its catchy melody and haunting lyrics, followed by St. Michel and Water-Roses.
If you don’t know Bandaloop, take a chance with this album! You won’t be disappointed!“
„14 years after the release, I remembered “Extraordinary” – I thought it was great back then and the review of the previous speaker made me curious about the album.
The purchase was absolutely worth it – some of the numbers really ignite after a few spins. The sound is a mixture of rock, pop – sometimes dark, sometimes funky – and drum & bass inspired numbers (Water-Roses, Single-Zone, Meteor).“
„This masterpiece deserves more attention!“
„A stomper of a track!“
„Great!“
“Bandaloop ist eine Mischung zwischen Trip Hop, Trip-Pop, Drum´n´Bass und House, die von einer träumerischen Musik und Stimme unterlegt wird. Einerseits erinnert diese Musik zwar stark an die Trip Hop-Band Portishead, andererseits entwickelt sie einen sehr eigenen Stil. Die drei Akteure Sarah Doering (zuständig für Gesang, Text und Melodien), Arnd Fischer (der Soundfetischist) und Alexander Klick (der Gitarrist) entführen einen in eine Traumwelt, bei der man Raum und Zeit vergessen könnte.”
“Die Beiden lassen sich von züngelnden E-Beats inspirieren, schaffen Stücke voll schöner Melancholie oder verbreiten einfach nur gute Laune. Mal langsam, mal schnell, mal tempovariierend. Und dem girlesken Gesang von Sarah Doering kann man sich nur schwer entziehen.”
