about

this album came into being between 2000 and 2004 and was released in 2005.

the tracks were recorded using a very similar instrumentation to the one vangelis had used when recording his score to ridley scott's blade runner back in 1981/82.

the yamaha cs 80 synthesiser is featured heavily here, along with roland vp-330 vocoder plus, mini moog, and rhodes piano.

the stunning sleeve design was done by jörg bennert. thanks.

"Its not often in my life that i ever get a chance to shout or cheer with joy, other than when i won a jackpot from my local arcade, or when my local football team Brighton & Hove Albion, were granted the right to build a new stadium. But something arrived from Werther, Germany this morning, that absoultly blew the competition away. It was a CD from a young budding musicial, Stephen Parsick. Imagine what would happen if a Blade Runner sequel was made. What would the music score sound like? well, as I write this report, im listening to the CD, track 4 - die Burg. I can almost hear, or I am almost reminded of Vangelis, Lustmord, Even ludwig Van. hopefully you will all aggree, a true masterpiece. you can contact Stephen through his website, to order the CD."

"Although the artwork may suggest otherwise, synthesiser enthusiast Stephen Parsick’s magnum opus is neither a metal album nor an industrial record. This, as the label states, is dark, ambient electronic music. Recorded straight to DAT by Parsick himself, he avoided “computers, sequencers, MIDI interfaces or multitrack recorders,” in favour of pure CS-80 performances, captured with remarkably clarity alongside his Roland VP-330 vocoder, Minimoog and Fender Rhodes. By Parsick’s own admission, the setup is very similar to the one Vangelis used to create the Blade Runner soundtrack. As a result, Hoellenengel opens up a very similar sonic world. Given how much Parsick composes in the bass region of the instrument and how little he does to manipulate or interrupt the sound of the CS-80, you could argue that this album shows off the unbelievable power of the synth even more than Blade Runner."

cosmic ground III
by Cosmic Ground

supported by 4 fans who also own “hoellenengel”

I think Cosmic Ground is a exciting band. Old fashioned and with nice vibes and rhytms. But I miss something. Many compare with TD. Maybe, but I lack the crescendo at the end of the songs. It becomes boring when the end lacks a Froeselike guitarsolo. Something is missing, the crescendo is missing, the songs just exit out with no proper end explosion. Roger Adler

The whole album is pure Berlin School bliss. What wonderful pieces of music! @Ian Black: Binary 0110 is equal to decimal 6, probably because it is Cosmic Ground’s 6th studio album. cyriaxx

Nice variety of sounds on this one. It's got some ZEIT in there and some driving rhythms, quiet reflective moments and big beats. Greasy is a beaut. Robert Wallace

Don’t know what you would call it - I call it minimalist Berlin School. Stripped back and steaming. sleeepwalker
