    Keep it comming :)

    release it next friday. its friday the 13th

  4. Martin (the one from Karlsruhe) Says:

    a little math:

    74 min / 13 Tracks = 5 min 41 seconds in average per track.

    But well, I guess there will be an intro, which will probably last shorter than a regular track. Let’s assume the intro come to 2:30. This alters our calculation a little bit

    74 min - 2 min 30 seconds = 71 min 30 seconds

    71 min 30 sec / 12 = 5 min 58 seconds per track

    Well, but actually we could split the time differently. I mean, we all know Rolf likes long tracks, so what if there is a short interlude between the real tracks, and we got 13 tracks in total

    13 track - 1 intro = 12 tracks

    12 tracks = 6 interlude + 6 real tracks

    Let’s make the assumption, that each interlude is about 30 seconds long.

    74 min - 2 min 30 seconds - 6 * 30 seconds = 68 min 30 seconds

    68 min 30 seconds / 6 real tracks = 11 min 25 secs per track

    Sweeeeet. So I guess we’ll be overwhelmed by a great composed full album with 6 really long ass-kicking tracks and some muscial interludes ;-)

    So long, looking forward to whatever Rolf will be presenting,
    cheerio
    Martin

    Can we expect Video Spot in this album???

  6. Rolf Says:

    @timon: the 13th march will also be a friday… maybe ill wait ;)
    @martin: your assumption is outdated… i dont prefer loooong tracks anymore… did you ever listen to the beatles…? or in fact any great song before the 90s…? ;)

    the 13 songs are meant to be full length tracks… most of them between 4 and 5 minutes long… but i believe that you wont count the minutes when listening to this album as i didnt try to fill up the 74 minutes as well… its the other way around: every second of music should be there for a purpose - if its redundant (as in many “dj compatible” vinyl versions for example) it wouldnt make it onto this album…

    when listening to music i prefer songs which i like to play again after listening once to those where i skip the last minute because its boring :) this is especially true when listening on my ipod… i hate those “skip-extros” ;)

  7. seb Says:

    @Rolf - don’t you dare to wait! The sooner the better…

  8. V-12/Tropyx Says:

    I’m not superstitious, so I don’t care about magic number 13. It’s great to know, that album soon will be released! Can we expect personal autographs on it?

    I also prefer to listen whole albums, not selected tracks. I always loved RMB albums, because they’ve been one whole long story.

  9. KristallFire Says:

    I Prefer single Tracks, Cause i can Repreat my Favourite ones, without sounding like “cutted” if You know what i mean :P (bad Grammar)
    And well, Realease the Album on Friday 13th, with 13 Tracks on it.. Sounds funny, why not? :P
    I’m really looking forward to the Album, all i have heared until yet sounds really great.
    Good Work Rolf.

  10. axell Says:

    I heard all snippets on your blog
    I were pleasant very much all of them
    Looks like the album will be similar on “Widescreen”, some songs will be fast, some more slowly

    You are very popular in Ukraine
    Good luck

  11. Sascha Says:

    +Bonus Track Finale 2 ;-)

  12. V-12/Tropyx Says:

    What about unreleased or test songs?

  13. setttler Says:

    I’m in…can’t wait!

  14. D.Machine Says:

    I’m also very interested in unreleased tracks. You said you had about 30 tracks or track pieces to choose from. So there could easily be one more album, because me and the others would definitely like all songs even if they’re not good enough in your eyes.

    So PLEASE think about something like a B-Side Album or just a downloadable album. :)

  15. christopher Says:

    STREITROSS wird aber drauf sein!!!???
    dat rotzt so frech daher… ;-) ;-)

  16. V-12/Tropyx Says:

    No! no downloads! :)

  17. da Says:

    I hope to hear streitross, bunkerlicht!! and pd on your cd! :-)

  18. caschy Says:

    Das ich das noch erleben darf. Helden der 90er ;)

  19. boka Says:

    Rolf i dunno if it has been asked before. Are the tracks goind to be mixed together? I listen to both Widescreen and MH on my iPod as one track, grabbed them into one file ;-)

  20. Timon Says:

    im so brash to give the answer to this question.
    the tracks will not be mixed!

  21. Hardwarekiller Says:

    Can’t wait to get the CD :-) The first release since… many years. Do you release it by yourself or is a music-label behind the release?

  22. Markus Says:

    Ich brauch das Album! Freu mich schon total darauf. Werds mir auf jeden Fall hier bestellen sobald es möglich ist :-)

    BTW: Caschy, du auch hier? Jetzt muss ich überlegen ob ich über deinen Blog hierher gekommen bin … dachte wäre “von alleine” hier her gekommen … mhhh mal recherchieren ;-)

  23. KristallFire Says:

    @timon
    Well, thats GOOD :D

  24. Weblog von Markus Seegmüller Says:

    Neues RMB und ATB Album!…

    Ich kann mich noch genau erinnern, damals mit ATB und RMB hat alles angefangen. Ich konnte von den beiden nie genug bekommen. Nicht umsonst habe ich auch eine Menge Platten von den beiden Künstlern. Leider gab es längere Zeit von RMB nichts neues. Au…

  25. seb Says:

    @weblog

    It is no RMB Album. It is a Rolf Maier Bode Album! If I got the meaning of Rolf’s comments we shouldn’t expect to see a new RMB album ever again.

  26. V-12/Tropyx Says:

    This is RMB=Rolf Maier Bode :D

  27. seb Says:

    Really? I would never have thought of that… :D

    Now serious - for me RMB will always be Rolf Maier Bode and Farid Gharadjedaghi. Will the new album actually be labeled RMB? I don’t think so…

  28. F-André Says:

    @seb i got a cd on the cover is big and fat RMB :) and in the booklet “all trax written and produced by Rolf Maier-Bode” ;) so there is a RMB without Farid… cause there was RMB without Farid

  29. memorexx Says:

    hey boys and girls,

    i am looking forward to hear the sound of RMB again! i will buy the album so far as possible and it is great from rolf to produce a fresh new style for that kind of music!

    i hope it will release in our country on friday the 13. i am from germany ;)

    thanks for the compilation

    memorexx

  30. V-12/Tropyx Says:

    I agree :)

  31. Tomek Says:

    Guys, why don’t you just abandon this fruitless political discussion? :) Eventually it’s the music that matters, isn’t it? Rolf said there will be 13 tracks on the CD. Does anybody have any idea about the tracklist? I wonder what the song titles will be… :)

  32. seb Says:

    @F-André - Thanks for the info. So I got that wrong. I always thought that before Farids time RMB was called rmb-trax.

    By the way: I’m jealous. I also want a CD :(

  33. V-12/Tropyx Says:

    It’s quite funny, because for example on RMB - Love EP Farid did only the coverdesign :)

    Tracklisting? Probably Jupiter Jesus will open the album, the rest is unknown yet.

  34. davis schrapel Says:

    oooh ich freue mich! :D

  41. cris80dr Says:

    @ Rolf:
    Is there a reason for your division of the track list in three groups (1-4, 5-9, 10-13) ?
