lecker lecker lecker!!!

Sorry, i got my own music at my myspace-account
17. February 2009 at 16:56
hmm.. es ist schon nett ! aber mir persönlich fehlen die vocals und ein wenig mehr pepp - so wie in den 90′ern ! feel redemption and let the beat control your body… musik ist wie ein orgasmus - man fängt langsam an, steigert sich und nach dem höhepunkt folgt der ausklang… the joung generation lives forever, so don’t let them sleeping till they die

I love this piece “State of flux”, wonderful
17. February 2009 at 18:13
Rolf: what happenned on 1971/7/4 ?
17. February 2009 at 18:19
Genius!!! What a sound. Excellent work, Rolf!!
17. February 2009 at 18:39
@ Rolf
17. February 2009 at 20:26
Tell the factory to speed up its production, do it naaaughww!! (Think Schwartzenegger voice)
Really love the snippets, very rich sound, especially State of Flux
18. February 2009 at 17:16
1974/7/4 find ich etwas fad, die beiden anderen lieder sind dafuer sehr geil!
@Robert: I just *guess* that might be his birthdate?
@Sanny: Ja, da geb ich dir teilweise recht, v.a. wenn ich mir z.b. Evertying - The Rise anhoere, ist das Lied wirklich fast wie ein Orgasmus, das langsam anfaengt, und einfach durch einen genialen aufbau immer noch ein weiter stueck “extase” hinzufuegt, wenn man glaubt, jetzt ist man schon am hoehepunkt, aber nein, RMB hat da noch was draufgesetzt.
18. February 2009 at 17:23
Martin: Rolf was born on 1974/3/6 (as far as i know
and the song title is 1971/7/4, i googled it but nothing. Jim Morrison died on the 3rd that year, but on 4th i dont know. Independence Day for the americans.
18. February 2009 at 18:14
@martin: the snippet of 1971/7/4 is only the (long) intro
there will be more, longer snippets when the first buyers got their cds… i just dont want to spoil their “first experience” by posting all the climaxes and suprises…
@robert: true, i wasnt born on the 4th of july 1971
18. February 2009 at 19:45
@Rolf: Is there any live-show planned? Some club tour perhaps?
18. February 2009 at 20:28
Hi Rolf,
I do understand that you don’t want to spoil to much of your album, but after listening to all the instrumental snippets, I just want to ask, if there will be lyrics in some of the songs?
18. February 2009 at 21:12
errrrr… lyrics being TOLD yes… but no sung vocals….. its all INSTRUMENTAL
@tomek: not for now… but the next weeks might change a lot
18. February 2009 at 21:58
omg! 1971/7/4 is incredible!!
I Love it.
18. February 2009 at 22:49
my personal favourite is 1971 from the 3 snippets by a long shot. te intro is incredible, but now that i heard what is coming i love it even more
its one of those songs that can define an album.
i hope that we will get to know what the date is referring to
19. February 2009 at 13:23
Ohne oberlehrerhaft wirken zu wollen, aber sollte es auf der Startseite der Homepage nicht “The new album HAS been finished!” heissen?!
19. February 2009 at 14:55
I would like to know that too. maybe someone very special to Rolf was born or died on this date? or his parents got married? because it’s an intro I would guess it’s the beginning of something. maybe a milestone album/ career kickoff of a favourite musician? possibilities …
anyway, I also like it best of the 3 snippets.
19. February 2009 at 17:26
@Rolf Sehr geile Snippets
ich mag dieses langsame intro so schön schleppend mit dem geilen Calypso 
hm 3 snippets + das aus dem blog da kann ich mir die hlabe tracklist zusammenreimen
oh und danke in der mail der hinweis autogramm
ich währe nicht auf die idee gekommen;) lol
kann es kaum abwarten
öhm gibt es eignetlich nur 1 version der cd(nich das das nich reicht frag nur wegen limited edition oder sowas…)
19. February 2009 at 18:11
@f-andré: there only is ONE version of the cd. there is no special edition planned because this one already is a digipak with a booklet in a small edition
@steanhater: thanks. corrected.
20. February 2009 at 09:48
Some of your snippets would perfectly fit on any trance compilations. Maybe this could be a way to bring some tracks in the music stores even if you don’t have a label. (like “April”, “Beauty of Simplicity” etc. of RMB)
I ‘m going to upload my new track on my favourite music platform http://www.uptrax.com/d.machine. I will use this opportunity to make some promotion for your album there! It would be nice if that could help a bit.
I’m convinced that there are MANY RMB FANS who just DON’T KNOW that you are producing great new stuff. Let’s all think HOW WE COULD REACH THEM!!!
(I just tried adding a link to this page in the wikipedia “RMB” entry so that people who are looking for something new can easily get here. But I’m afraid the change is not accepted.)
20. February 2009 at 10:06
I just added some recensions to the RMB albums at amazon.de. The content: An information about Rolf’s new album and the link to this page.
I don’t know if someone will get here that way, but it was quickly done.
WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?
20. February 2009 at 11:03
word-of-mouth advertising
20. February 2009 at 11:57
I opened a thread about the blog on di.fm in the artist’s lounge a while ago. there is a sub-forum for self-promotion as well, but as the name says … “self”-promotion…
20. February 2009 at 12:10
i will start promotion when the first shippment of cds is out and the first buyers of the cd enjoyed it with all “surprises”… there will be longer snippets here and at myspace of nearly all 13 songs plus parts of the booklet etc
20. February 2009 at 12:57
Concerning promotion:
What about giving away _one_ album track for free?
Not a new concept, but anyways …
20. February 2009 at 13:00
Stellarium is awesome! I’m waiting for my copy of the album to arrive
20. February 2009 at 14:56
myownmusic might be a good place to put a (full) track as an “Appetittmacher”.
20. February 2009 at 17:08
Habe die E-Mail erhalten aber was bedeutet 1CD 2CD 3CD und 4CD? Es gibt ja nur eine Version oder ist es damit gemeint, wenn man die gleiche CD mehrmals bestellen will?
20. February 2009 at 17:26
Ja, vielleicht hast ja ein paar gute Freunde. Oder ein für den Schrank und eine für den Gebrauch! Sammler sind ja so
20. February 2009 at 17:47
ab 10 stück werden die preise noch mal besser
ja, es geht immer um die selbe cd, genau…
20. February 2009 at 19:20
Also, ich hab mir jetzt eine bestellt, mit Autogramm natürlich ^^
Die Snippets hier im Blog und bei MYSpace haben mich sehr glücklich gestimmt und schnell zum Kauf überzeugt. Man hört das “Gute Alte” wieder heraus, dass trotzdem etwas neues ist und in die heutige Musik-Generation passt.
Genial Rolf, vielen Dank.
Was mich auch sehr freut ist, dass so gut wie alles Instrumental ist, Vocals gehören meiner Meinung nach auf ne Future Trance oder ner Bravo Hits.
Es gefällt mir um längen besser, wenn ich die reine Musik genießen kann.
Ich freu mich auf jeden Fall Rießig auf den Postboten im März.

@Kristallfire:
Ganz meine Meinung.
20. February 2009 at 21:45
I just made some promotion for the album at http://www.uptrax.com/d.machine:
Of course I answered that it definitely does not. You can hear that the origin is RMB, but it is new and fresh, because Rolf didn’t stop to develop further.
In the description of my new track, in my profile and in the releases forum.
And there are already some very positive reactions of the users! All who wrote a comment know and like RMB, and the ones that listened to the snippets were positively surprised.
One was afraid that Rolf’s stuff would sound like soft trance or Redemption 2.0
21. February 2009 at 00:03
Hey Rolf! I like your music! RMB roxxxxx!!!!!! You are another than crappy artists like mark’oh or van buuren! please never do commercial crap
Your music is one of the best things which happen in my life!!!
RESPECT!!!
21. February 2009 at 00:55
Hey Rolf, ich hätte auch gern ein Autogramm, wenns geht
21. February 2009 at 10:31
@felix: ist notiert… demnächst aber bitte lieber per mail…
21. February 2009 at 17:29
Come on Rolf, admit it, you just wrote this album to play the songs in Audiosurf!
After playing all the snippets that I still found to download, the three already known songs of the album work beautiful in the game. Vierfarbillusion is fun too, hopefully you put this song on the CD and hopefully the tracks will be unmixed (someone even confirmed that in the comments). Otherwise it would be a long turn in Audiosurf, playing the CD as one track, but damn sure it is a cool way to enjoy the album the first time, when I will get it!
23. February 2009 at 12:37
Lyrics being told…. sounds interesting…. as long as they are no fairytales with background music *hihi*
Alaaf!
26. February 2009 at 13:05
Now that i have listened to the myspace lyrics for at least 20 times each, I have to admit that 1971/7/4 indeed sounds very nice, especially if you realize it’s a (long) intro which twist you can recognize at the end of the 3 minute sample.
I think, I’ll order the CD today or tomorrow as it seems unlikely i’ll be able to download (legally) or purchase it somewhere else to save the 5EUR shipping.
27. February 2009 at 14:24
einfach nur groß!!!
12. March 2009 at 19:48
Was mir gerad aufgefallen ist… auf deiner MySpace-Seite fehlt die Verlinkung bzw der Hinweis, wie “Thirteen Stories” zu ordern ist…. oder ich habs übersehen…. aber gehört meiner Meinung nach ja durchaus da drauf oder? Wenn ich mir deine Profilaufrufe ansehe
