Jerome, Johannes and a Jupiter ... 8
We're proud to announce that Jerome Froese & Johannes Schmoelling have joined forces for two tracks on Jerome's upcoming third studio album "Far Side Of The Face" which is still scheduled for February 2011.

The two of them have already met each other in April 2010 to discuss the concept for the music. The main idea behind this collaboration was to re-activate Johannes old Roland Jupiter 8 Synth including the original special sounds created by Johannes himself in 1982 + his Overdrive and Distortion pedals. The result is an amazing mixture of Jerome's specific guitartronica style and Johannes' trademark distortion solos, sequences and special FX sounds. The recordings are already done and they're now mixing the material.

One of the songs will be over 14 minutes long and therefore is one of Jerome's most "time-consuming" tunes. Watch out for this and much more to come!
