Lost In Desire "Reborn From The Ashes" release on 07.10.2011

(openPR) After the success of the self-titled debut album which has been brought to daylight in Spring 2010, Stephan releases the remix album Reborn from the Ashes in October 2011. The musical range of the result could not be wider, as no boundaries were set to creativity. No facet of dark sounds has been left out and thus Future Pop, Industrial, EBM, Dark Ambient, Gothic Rock, Minimal, Trance and Experimental are assembled on one single CD.

Two EPs were already released as harbingers for the remix album. In December 2010 The Vampire EP was released and contained, besides numerous versions of the song, two danceable remixes by the dark electro project Assemblage 23 and the electro chart breakers Silicon Brothers. In April the I Am You EP followed with the fabulous remix by the Norwegian synthpop rockers Apoptygma Berzerk, who turned the sombre original into a club hit. Subse-quently, due to such an amount of remix-enthusiasm, the whole album rose like a phoenix from the ashes.

Stephan was able to enthuse 11 outstanding artists who created their own versions of the originals to work on Reborn from the Ashes. Ashley Dayour, mastermind of Whispers in the Shadow, and Stephan are not only connected by their common passion for music, but also by friendship. Thus, it is hardly surprising that Ashley spared no efforts for his reinterpretation and recorded almost all instruments and even the vocals anew.

The Born for Bliss remix was created by the goth legend Frank Weyzig, who rocked the guitar in Clan Of Xymox as one of the original members of the band and who added a heart-breaking instrumental aspect to the original song. The hardest remix was employed by Ted Phelps for his project Imperative Reaction and also Romell Regulacion, godfather of dark electro and trance, made a contribution that perfectly reflects the style Razed in Black, which has been marking the project’s success since many decades. A minimal remix was supplied by Vienna DC, and Michael Konrad and Gregor Ugovsek, who already worked with celebrities like Kylie Minogue and Tom Jones, were in charge of the mix. David Pfister, the institution of the Austrian radio station FM4 and passionate musician made the most extravagant contribution and “slaughtered the pop format” in his experimental ambient mix.

Presenting so much versatility and coherence, Lost in Desire sets a new benchmark as to what a remix album has to sound like.
