<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In case anyone is interested in a contemporary
German band that sits on the musical continuum somewhere near PSB, I wanted to
share the name of a duo I've discovered lately and am excited
about: </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Wolke (In English, it means
"Cloud".)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One plays the piano and beatbox, the other
sings and plays the bass. And they have a deft hand with the
electronics. They've made three albums, an EP, and a single with a
remix, all available for download in the US on Amazon and iTunes (and UK
iTunes). Happily enough, my favorite record is their newest, Teil 3 ("Part
3"), which just came out in March, but I'm fond of all three.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nice voice, nice piano, nice compositions, and they
seem to have a similarly intellectual approach to pop as PSB. (Watch their
video for "Second Hand Gefühl" ("Second-hand emotion") on MySpace <A
href="http://www.myspace.com/weginsnichts">http://www.myspace.com/weginsnichts</A> to
see them at their PSB-est. ("Kleine Lichter" ("Little lights") is cute,
too.))</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They're my favorite discovery of the year.
See if you like them, too..</FONT></DIV>
