Artist:	MAGIC I.D., THE
Title:	Till My Breath Gives Out
Label:	ERSTWHILE
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	ERSTPOP 001CD

"The Magic I.D. is a Berlin-based quartet consisting of Margareth Kammerer, Christof Kurzmann, Kai Fagaschinski and Michael Thieke, which formed in the summer of 2005 after previously being connected via smaller groupings and projects, some more abstract and some more song-based. The six pieces contained here are precise collective compositions, three by the full quartet, and one from each of the three potential 'duos' (the two clarinets form one twinned instrument). Till My Breath Gives Out expands song forms through the prism of experimental sensibilities and meshes the two remarkably fluidly. Till My Breath Gives Out is being released simultaneously in two formats: foldout digipak CD and gatefold 180 gram vinyl. The content and the running order are identical; the LP version was mastered slightly differently to better fit the format. The LP is an edition of 500 copies; the CD is unlimited and inexpensive."

Title:	I'm So Awake/Sleepless I Feel
Label:	STAUBGOLD (GERMANY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	STAUBANA 004LP

LP version. This is the second release from The Magic I.D. -- a Berlin-based quartet exploring the juncture of song forms with abstract music. The band, consisting of Margareth Kammerer (vocals & guitars), Christof Kurzmann (vocals, g3 & lloopp), Kai Fagaschinski and Michael Thieke (both clarinet), formed in the summer of 2005 after previously being connected via smaller groupings and projects. The musicians expand song forms through the prism of experimental sensibilities and mesh the two remarkably fluidly. I'm So Awake/Sleepless I Feel consists of 10 intricately-constructed gems, each with its own individual shape, painstakingly sequenced to form a record that becomes more than the sum of its parts. The combination of twin clarinets, guitar, subtle electronics and voices seems deceptively simple, but it makes a heady cocktail. The combined effect creates a unique soundscape; after hearing two seconds of this music, it could be mistaken for nothing else.
