Venice, the fourth studio album by Christain Fennesz, was recorded on location in the summer of 2003 and subsequently assembled and mixed at Amann Studios, Vienna in early 2004. Venice finds electronic music at a crossroads between its early status as digital subculture, and the feeling that there has to be something more -- an emotional quality that rises above noise and moves towards melody and rapture. Fennesz burst upon the scene with "Instrument" [Mego, 1995] and followed up with a succe   [ read more ]

Mego is proud to announce the release of the long awaited new Christian Fennesz album, "Endless Summer." Much has passed since the 1997 release of "Hotel Paral.lel," his first full-length for Mego.

Fennesz's third full-length album further explores the territory mapp   [ read more ]

This reissue of Christian Fennesz's breakthrough classic Endless Summer has been remixed, remastered, and re-released with two extra tracks. Originally released in 2001 by Mego, Endless Summer brought his name and music towards the first steps of mainstream recognition with its micro sounds and warm guitar, harkening the dreamy serenity and quick-fading sentimentality of a California sunset. Following on from the more experimental Hotel Paral.lell and the Beach Boys homaged Plays   [ read more ]

Black Sea is the much-anticipated new album from Christian Fennesz, his first since Venice (2004). Fennesz's career has come a long way since Instrument, his debut for Mego in 1995, and his first solo album Hotel Paral.lel which followed in 1998. Endless Summer (Mego, 2001) brought him to a much wider audience and Venice underlined his mastery of melody and dissonance. His songs usually embody the skillful application and manipulation of dense sonic textures with a genuine feel for the live, and   [ read more ]

As bizarre as it was, Fennesz's previous release for Mego -- Instrument EP -- is made positively accessible by this, his full-length debut. Skipping across droning, machinic ambient, minimal experimental techno, and abstract, beat-oriented electronica, the album draws copiously from compositional styles the artist clearly (and thankfully) has nothing but a passing interest in. Points of reference might include, by turns, Main, Porter Ricks, Nonplace Urban Field, and {$Throbbing   [ read more ]

On Plus Forty Seven Degrees 56' 37" Minus Sixteen Degrees 51' 08, Fennesz is concerned with creating extremely dense and enveloping sound textures, essentially forgoing rhythmic or melodic development. The CD comes in an impressive cardboard slipcase adorned with photographs of nature colliding with technology, and a similar aesthetic prevails in the music. Fennesz seems interested in exploring electronic sound at an almost a molecular level, and the result is a complex, organic, and at times very    [ read more ]
