| Basics: | |||
| In the broader sense, Cue to Recall is an electro-pop band.
The
music is made of synthetic sounds and samplings.
Guitars
lack. Influences range from bands as Covenant, Apoptygma Berzerk,
Projekt
Pitchfork, The Human League, to Bauhaus and David Bowie, just to name a
few. Due to Terje's
clean, strong voice, the emphasize on melody and energetic dancefloor
beats and the tradition of some of the bands mentioned above, it seems
natural to
use the term futurepop rather than anything else. Frequently Bernd likes to experiment
with the nearby genres, Electronic Body Music, Wave, Synthpop and
Electro in a comprehensive manner. Melodies,
lyrics and composition cover a rich palette of emotions. Terjes lyrics
have a lot of metaphores and are engaged in the mystics of everyday life.
May
the music inspire, may it give perspective, may it make sense in
people's
busy lifes! |
