Artist:	WARREN SUICIDE
Title:	Requiem For A Missing Link
Label:	SHITKATAPULT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	STRIKE 093CD

This is Berlin-based art/music duo Cherie and Nackt aka Warren Suicide's first full-length release for the Shitkatapult label. Since 2006's The Hello on Fume, their world has been overflowing with projects: drawings, videos, visual concepts, theater music, composing, web sites, productions, sessions, remixes and new ideas. Requiem For A Missing Link is a condensed expression of their multimedia works -- 12 great songs merged into one big composition beyond genre boundaries. Tracks such as "Run Run," "Land Of The Free," and "Home" are perfect pop masterpieces between electro and rock, pop and avant garde arrangements. String pieces, distorted basses and drum loops underline the clear voices of Nackt and Cherie. Beatles-punk-electro. This whole album is like concept art without underlining any heavy meaning: like the title track proclaims, "I want to love what I don't understand," Warren marries dark tales and unforeseeable events into something very fresh. This is special music for special people who can love beyond understanding. The cover art is another fine drawing by Cherie herself.

Title:	What Did You Do?!
Label:	SHITKATAPULT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	STRIKE 097EP

What Did You Do?! presents Warren Suicide in the hands of friends. Three glam-rock/tekkkno/house remixes showcase the dark side of a master plan. Shrubbn!!'s "Land Of The Free" remix is a straight techno mix for the main floor. "Knock Knock" is a crystal clear disco house remix by Khan, and "What Did We Do?!" is another great track from the original Warren Suicide album, Requiem For A Missing Link. The remix by Steve Morrell is never-resting, irresistible, and fuck-off insane.

Title:	World Warren Remixes
Label:	SHITKATAPULT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	STRIKE 131EP

Sasha Ring aka Apparat presents his best remix to date. Apparat drops the bomb with "Moving Close," a medium-length moment of sheer perfection and, for all those of you who paid attention, a nine-minute tour de force and perfect re-enaction of the entire Warren album distilled down to an exuberant blend of science fiction and futuristic romance. The flip features Markus Popp aka Oval with his take on so-called electronic music -- a dialogue filled with jazz, abstraction and plenty of courage.

Title:	World Warren III
Label:	SHITKATAPULT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	STRIKE 132CD

This is the third album from band/collective Warren Suicide, formed by Cherie and Nackt from Berlin. And this album is phantasmagorical, literally -- a declaration of peace, a gentle giant. Because after Hello/Warren Suicide and Requiem For A Missing Link, World Warren III abandons the disruption of genres and binary code, in favor of a third principle: Warren Peace. Duality does not mean conflict, but serves as a source for a new feeling: being able to pick one of the energies permanently alternating between "war and peace." Such is the sound of their music, confidently turning away from the past. WWIII is instead a story of science fiction and lust, an analog vision full of optimism. Songs like "In Love With The Enemy," "Animal Party" or "Moving Close" (with T.Raumschmiere as guest vocalist) whoosh, chirp and rumble with their very own, unheard-of groove. The spirit of a sound is conjured, as plug-in-ready as a book, as a Technicolor film, like a cinematic journey, captivating as anything. This music has carte blanche and chooses freedom: in love and in anarchy. Wanting more -- that's the principle Warren Suicide have been building on right from the start. With World Warren III, the two have carried their "cosmos" ideology to the extremes. Thus reads the list of the Warren cosmonauts: Earl Harvin (Air, Tindersticks), Andrew Unruh (Einstürzende Neubauten) and Ben Lauber (Transporterraum) as drummer, the Berlin/Göteborg String Theory orchestra, Warren tour companions Arne Augustin (Nena), Giovanni Nicoletta (Apparat) on keyboards, T.Raumschmiere as musician/vocalist and many more -- over 50 people. This splendid plethora has been co-organized by Moses Schneider (Tocotronic, Beatsteaks, Dendemann), who also co-produced the album.
