With remixes by Hannes Teichmann, Ada & Dubmasta. "The first remixes of Andi Teichmann's autumn album, Fades Side A begins with 10 loops, cut by Andi himself and featuring one loop from each track of the album. After that, the record continues with Hannes Teichmann's remix of 'They Don't Care.' Hannes calls it 'Romantica Mix' and romantic it is. He takes the original, featuring Hans Forster's fantastic voice, deconstructs the individual sounds and chords and rebuilds them around bass and cotton. The first track on the B-side is an Ada remix of 'Tape.' Having chosen 'Tape,' Ada uses another track with vocals by Hans Forster. While the original is pretty down-beat, perhaps comparable to the tranquility and dream-like quality of Air's music, the remix has its feet firmly on the dancefloor. You can distinguish Ada's personal touch, but still hear the heartbeat of the original track. Everybody who maintains that 'there is no soul in electronic music,' should definitely take a listen to this. The second remix on the B-side is by Dubmasta from Kiev. He's part of Foa Hoka, one of the first undergound dub and electronic bands in the Ukraine. He has left his mark on the indie-ambient track. 'Endscapes' is transformed into a polyrhythmic trip through the Ukrainian underground. There are deep canyons of bass and high peaks to climb."

"And here she is: my first solo CD Fades was created in the autumn/winter of 2004 with the finishing touches added this past spring. Initially I had no aim to publish these tracks and the idea to release them on an album only emerged towards the end of production when I listened to all ten tracks successively. Over the years my understanding of the word 'fades' changed and lost its connotation of vanishing love: a DJ mixer has a crossfader and a channel fader, sounds fade in and out and bam! All of a sudden fades were the life and soul of the party. So here are ten songs: often fragile and melancholic, somewhere between techno and indie rock, outlines and pop, with pathos and humour, at home with both the Siberian vastness and German narrowness, rooted in the high life of metropolitan Berlin and the dolce vita of provincial Regensburg. My brother Hannes plugged in the Moog, I unpacked my guitar and bass and my machines marched along with the tunes. Have fun listening!"
