Floating di Morel is probably the best rock 'n' roll band to come out of Germany since 39 Clocks. This might sound like overblown hype, but it's not; the few critics who attended the band's rare live performances were all flabbergasted. Here are a few reference-points: Suicide, free jazz, Throbbing Gristle, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Big Star, White-Light-hysteria -- stuff Floating di Morel likes but doesn't copy at all. Get ready for one of the strangest and most exciting acts from Berlin. The band members in their own words: “The new (5th) Floatin? LP is divided in two parts. On one side you hear the last works together with Thorsten Neu, which you know from the records “said my said” and “goal less play”. The other side is a new more electronic experience with ULF.” 39 Clocks member J?rgen Gleue about Floating di Morel: “(…) sound like Sky Saxon & The Seeds did float, effortless, it’s just there as it pops into your head like a thumb into your mouth.” Jake Austen of Roctober Magazine writes: "Like a classy Suicide (the band, not the act of desperation) these cats present minimal, chilling music, but wear ties and sweep the warehouse before inviting you over for a bizarre ultra-underground concert." Here you can see one of their ultra rare home live recordings: http://www.playloud.org/archiveandstore/en/live-music-series/43-a-summer-evening-withfdm. html German critic Robert Miessner (taz, junge welt) states: “If Velvet Underground had not disintegrated in 1973 and instead had met with Neu! or Mute's Daniel Miller, they would have sounded like Floating di Morel.”
