2. Assam
[audio:http://thetarecords.de/Assam_224.mp3]
3. China Gunpowder
[audio:http://thetarecords.de/China_Gunpowder_224.mp3]
Tea Age deals with the musical side of tea. Darjeeling starts with a piano intro. As time passes the piano is accompanied by strange noises and funny sounds. Assam comes around rather ambientish but envolves into a full bodied track and just like the tea itself, having a strong flavor. The China Gunpowder track creates a warm atmosphere out of some noisy auditory events. At times it seems like a soundtrack to a psychedelic adventure computergame. Heavy as hell.
Download the whole release here. The zip-file includes the three tracks listed above in a 320 bit mp3 quality, the cover and the backside of the promotion sheet.
The artwork of Tea Age is done by the Mannheim based creative studio Deutsche und Japaner.

Ein Tag im März is set of live improvisations done by reverse angle earlier this year. The tracklist goes like this:
1. Abgeholzt
[audio:http://thetarecords.de/1_Abgeholzt.mp3]
2. Reich und Obertöne
[audio:http://thetarecords.de/2_Reich_und_Obertoene.mp3]
3. Ausgeträumt
[audio:http://thetarecords.de/3_Ausgetraeumt.mp3]
Abgeholtz absorbs the attention of the listener by its epic and open sound structure. The track itself takes some exciting turns and finally stops at its most dramatic point. Reich und Obertöne is domianted by repetitive grooves and is occasionally interrupted by elements of chaos and anarchy. Within 21 minutes it develops an hypnotic effect, which makes you memorize this track in a positiv manner. Ausgeträumt is covered by spatial sound effects which create a pleasant atmosphere feeling like hovering five miles over the ground on a bright day.
Download the whole release here. The zip-file includes the three tracks listed above and a high resolution cover. The credit for the artwork goes to David Wolpert.

Rauschbärte is Reverse Angle, Björn and Achim.
Achim and Björn are in charge of the Rauschabstand radioshow. Rauschbärte is the german expression for beards of noise. Despite the name, noise is only one major influence of the group. They are fond of loop based arrangements and a strong distortion of sound and speech. In there live performances they use 2 or 3 portable PCs respectively macintosh computers, a bass, a saxophone, contact microphones, a voice recorder and a bunch of machines for sound effects.
Here is one of the sessions which they did on the 08.08.08. in an art gallery called 23m2 in Aken.
Live and improvised.

Reverse Angle makes music for some time now. In the very beginning he played guitar in band which was into some sort of Doom Metal and Industrial music. As time went by more and more music found his interest. By making use of the possibilities his Personal Computer offered in terms of music production he found his own style. By now he uses several, to some extent unique instruments and machines in addition and reflects his wide range of influences in his works.
In August 2008 he got signed to Theta Records. At the minute he is working on his first release for Theta Records.
