It`s Barbara's third album for monika enterprise (besides various EP`s, singles and remixes). It's utterly beautiful and, modestly put, her music shines brighter and more majestically than ever. Produced with Berlin's own dubmeister Pole, with a little help from Thomas Fehlmann (who has produced artists as diverse as The Orb and Erasure), "Nichts Muss" is a prime cut of teutonic electronic beauty; exquisite German pop music which will catapult Barbara into her own orbit, way beyond Indietronics or other typ   [ read more ]

RESTOCK. 2nd album from Barbara Morgenstern, with guest production assistance from Robert Lippok (To Rococo Rot), Thomas Fehlmann and Pole (production & mix on 5 tracks). "I was pleasantly touched by Barbara's debut album of autumn 1998 Vermona ET 6-1. With organ as her main instrument, the work was like an homage to the Czech organ of the same name, through without the trash quality. In that album Morgenstern melded warm analog sounds from the past and nineties beats in a techno-design of song writing, hom   [ read more ]

This is the long-awaited fifth full-length solo album from Berlin's queen of fragile and poetic electro-pop -- now introducing the piano. It's three years since Barbara Morgenstern's acclaimed album Nichts Muss, and as The Grass Is Always Greener goes to show, she has come a long way. Her Goethe Institut-sponsored world tour and many recent collaborations with, among others, Robert Lippok and Bill Wells have clearly been an inspiration for this album. Ms. Morgenstern combines the charisma of h   [ read more ]

This is the long-awaited fifth full-length solo album from Berlin's queen of fragile and poetic electro-pop, Barbara Morgenstern. However, Morgenstern's tag as an "electro-pop icon," with which she has been associated since the early days of the Berlin living room scene, no longer really fits. The lightness that was so characteristic of her previous work has given way to new depths. What was minimal before is now far more complex, even weighty. Barbara Morgenstern's latest pop music creation is utterly capt   [ read more ]

the listener is drowning slowly inside morgenstern's frightening atmosphere and once he dives into it, he's lost in a vibrating and bassy drone of tribal power-electronics & dark ambient, full of coldness and thorns. heavy death industrial tunes are layered in while tortured vocals are dominated by corrosive industrial clatters. bass-riddled cavernous drones ensure beautiful low-end rumbles and subtle machinery beats. aurally piercing textures containing a distorted surrealistic edge. morgenstern    [ read more ]

Tesri collects a dozen collaborations by Barbara Morgenstern and Robert Lippok, the latter artist of the post-rock trio To Rococo Rot. Both individuals had formerly recorded for Monika Enterprise, and in 2005 that Berlin label released this album of collaborations. Tesri notably includes two key tracks from an earlier EP Morgenstern and Lippok had released in 2002. Titled Series 500 and released by Domino Records, that EP featured four tracks, each named after a season. {&"S   [ read more ]

Preceding the release of Barbara Morgenstern's 2006 full-length The Grass Is Always Greener, The Operator is a brief sample of what could be expected of that forthcoming album. The title track is featured in two versions that are different than its full-length counterpart: there's an edit that's about a minute shorter than the album version, and there's also a solo piano version of the song that strips away the electronics for a showcase of Morgenstern's piano, voice, and songwriting.

One of the initial releases of the Monika label, Vermona ET 6-1 is the first widely available album of Barbara Morgenstern, and while it's rudimentary and fairly modest relative to her subsequent work, beginning with the following year's Fjorden (2000), it's pleasant nonetheless and should be particularly interesting for devotees curious about the Berliner's roots. Morgenstern's indie electronica tendencies are most apparent here, as over half the album is comprised of electronic instrumen   [ read more ]
