RMB
RMB was a techno/trance project from 1992 to about 2005. Most of the time it consisted of Farid Gharadjedaghi and me, Rolf Maier Bode. There were musical, economical and personal reasons to quit working together and i dont want to write about it in detail. I dont exactly know what Farid is doing now but one of his projects is mysoundconnection.de and i wish him success.
I was doing music before the succesful years of RMB (beside others confusingly enough under the names of RMB Trax and RMB) and i obviously didnt stop after RMB.
So once again - ROLF MAIER BODE is NOT the same as RMB!
Please allow me to concentrate on the future and my own music. I know that many fans of RMB are sad about the fact that this project is not producing music anymore but i hope that some of you like what i do on my own

Rolf im a one of the lucky guys who got The Traxx CD
with an autogram. hm do you remeber signing a cd of it??
(hab die cd auf dem flohmarkt gekauft) (das autogramm war mit weißem edding geschrieben so ein smiley ;)) ich weiß is schon ne ewigkeit her aber wollte ma fragen ob das wirklich echt is
21. February 2009 at 11:50
hi ..
ich kenne dich zwar nicht persönlich aber merke jetzt , das du der geniale teil von rmb warst !
ich bin ein absoluter fan deiner musik !
ich glaube nicht das es einen besseren composer gibt als dich !
schade eigentlich das die meisten nicht wirklich bei deiner musik hinhören um die feinheiten zu entdecken denn dann hättest du noch mehr fans die nicht nur auf dummen schrott abfahren was man summen kann ..
ich finde es klasse das du doch so offen damit umgehst auch wenns lange gedauert hat bis man was in der öffentlichkeit von dir wieder gehört hat .
ich hoffe ich kann das neue album irgendwie erwerben und würde es sogar in D.dorf holen kommen zu jeder zeit da ich nur 80 km weit weg wohne .
Stellarium ist etwas was ich mir schon locker 100 mal angehört habe denn das ist wieder GENIAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
das lied ist so gefühlvoll das einem fast die tränen kommen !-)
wenn du auf diesem weg bleibst und wieder mehr veröffentlichst wären bestimmt viele viele glücklich denn bei dir kommt man ans denken ..
DANKE für diese schönen minuten die du uns gibst!!!

ROLF MAIER BODE is NOT the same as RMB! - Realy????
RMB - hat, hatte, eigenen musik style wie ein fingerabdruck
und der ist gebliben, wenn nicht sogar besser geworden - ich höre den “Bode” fast immer raus.
wenn ROLF MAIER BODE is NOT the same as RMB - praktisch gesehen ja
musikalisch nicht, Du hast sich weiter entwikelt und das zum Guten.
also für mich hat sich nur der name geämdert, und das auch nicht so wirklich!!
aber, dass die Fragerei nervt kann ich voll verstehen.
Ich hab schon lange meine eigene Theorie - (grins)
-ich glaube nicht, dass ein einzelner so viel gute Musik alleine macht
ich glaub das sind 3 Leute der ROLF, der MAIER und der BODE
so!!!

I suppose it’s safe to say we all know you from the RMB project so it stands to reason people new to this site think all is like it was back then. Since this post will eventually move down like the other posts, maybe it’s a good idea to feature a synopsis of this story somewhere more prominently on this site?
21. February 2009 at 14:34
you mean like the BUYING THE CD post…? ill make it a categorie of its own so it will be accessible on the right side…
21. February 2009 at 15:03
Ich kann Gaesch nur zustimmen. Dem ist eigentlich nichts mehr hinzuzufügen!
@Rolf:
“[...] but i hope that some of you like what i do on my own”
Please don’t be overmodest!
What you’re making is music at its best. And judging from all the snippets here on your blog “Thirteen Stories” MUST be a masterpiece
21. February 2009 at 15:06
I meant this post
A lot of new people probably will keep mistaking you for the RMB project. So maybe it’s a good idea to mention something like ‘hey the RMB project is in my past now, and I’m Rolf Maier Bode with my own style’ on the front blog page, above the blog posts itself.
21. February 2009 at 15:07
Also, ich stand schon immer auf den Trax sound, hab auch die CD und die Vinyls.
Nach TWIY kam nichts wirklich vergleichbares.. Spring vielleicht noch, aber das war ja auch ürsprunglich ein Projekt von 1992. Den Typischen “Rolf-Sound” hat man zwar nach TWIY noch gehört, jedoch wurde es immer weniger.
Man hört einfach nen gewaltigen unterschied zwischen RMB und Rolf Maier Bode. Ich bin Froh, dass Rolf nun alleine ein Projekt macht. Dabei rausgekommen sind 13 neue “Trax” gemischt mit über 15 Jahre Musikerfahrung. Na, das kann doch nur was werden
21. February 2009 at 15:28
Please allow me to answer in english so others might understand this as well…
ROLF MAIER BODE music will not be similar to RMB Trax - at least not to my ears…
RMB Trax was wild and energetic and maybe i had a natural talent for melodies as one of the melodies from spring was actually first used on an RMB Trax Vinyl… but for 2009 music like this would be lacking depth, detail and structure…
In the early 90s i wanted to make music that was aggressive and different to the music i knew from the radio… it was a bit like being a techno punk… but i am now composing for more than fifteen years and would hate to try to only copy my teenage self
It would be really nice to have a simple name, a label for what you called the “Rolf Sound” to differentiate it from rave, frenchhouse, hardtrance and all the other styles… i will get back to this when more of you have heard the album
21. February 2009 at 15:37
Hey Rolf is it possible to buy your new album with your autograph on it?
best regards from Poland
21. February 2009 at 15:43
I’m glad to hear that Rolf,i think i told you this in an earlier post that this what what you’re doing is not the same anymore,times change and so does music,RMB was a typical and unique style/group which was very popular in the 90’s and at the beggining of this century.The thing your doing right now is due to your experience,your implementing new standards to music and i like to hear unique and experimental sounds.You are a big artist and im a big fan of your’s for quiet a while and you always get to amaze me.
I wish you the best of luck in your future projects

“one of the melodies from spring was actually first used on an RMB Trax Vinyl…”
really
which one?? or do i missinterpret somethign;)??
21. February 2009 at 23:34
Excuse me writing about an new “RMB”-Album - but I think you can only benefit from this “comparison”. Apart from the fact that there are a lot of people tasking Aunt Guhgel for “neues Album RMB” (according to my statz), many people simply don’t know “Rolf Maier Bode” - but they know “RMB”. I suppose they will realize the “new” name, at last when holding “Thirteen Stories” in their hands. And at last - correct me if I’m wrong… what did RMB stand for? Farid Gharadjedaghi?
LG, Neri
21. February 2009 at 23:56
@F-André: Heaven & Hell EP
22. February 2009 at 10:25
@ Julian: huh?
I thought the first melody of spring was released on a Vinyl (Called “Manitou In Africa”) under the name “Ever means never”.
H&H EP just includes the first Version of Experience (follow me)
@Rolf: The similarities i meant was the 100% “Rolf Sound”. Of Cousre there are differences between RMB Trax and Rolf maier Bode. The 2009sound is more seriously, has a back story that want to be told, and is much more emotional.
On the other side your productions are still melodical and a little bit playfully (”verspielt”), good example are the “what would it sound like” Artikles.
And thats what i just like on your musik.
22. February 2009 at 11:47
Kristall is right of course.
22. February 2009 at 12:27
at first i´m sorry for my lousy english but my schooltime is over about 15 years ago .
no - rmb didnt stand for farid !
it stands for rolf and farid !
but now rolf and farid aka rmb , dont work togehter !
the music also have a little touch from the 90´s , but this touch is so small that the majority dont hear it .
the connection from the earlier time is in little parts like dry bassdrums with instruments with hall .
also is an connection in the way how the individual pieces were put together .
You can hear it in Stellarium .->
at first there is the piano with a bright, very quiet whistle that you just can hear when you really hear the melody- then comes the part with the “blow instrument? like a digitalised saxophone” and than there comes it to the final - all together .
the way how its in the melody is singularly !!!
every song got a really high point - not like the industrie songs .
i wish the highest success to rolfs new project because , when he got success , we got more music from him .-)

@kristal: of course you’re right!!! it was too late yesterday
22. February 2009 at 15:34
I guess everyone of us started out being RMB fans. Having checked the snippets on myspace it’s becoming more and more understandable what is going to be Rolf’s individual projects about. I cannot really decide which one I prefer, I am still fan of both. From now on it is a step forward. Something entirely new involving the roots, ravers nature stay tuned:)
Referring back to one of the posts above I’d be glad to welcome my copy of thirteen stories with autograph on it.
regards,
boka
22. February 2009 at 21:02
@Julian
ah but i think he means Experience?? in follow me the version of the sounds does not contain such a melody 
22. February 2009 at 21:46
For me, it is simple..I like RMB music and when I hear the new stuff from Rolf, I hear something, what I like…I can recognize, that this amazing song, which I hear, came from the same person..I want the new CD! Still, I´m looking for some unreleased songs from late RMB time..like Limestar, Time will tell and Free to believe..but I can´t find them somewhere…I wanted to compare the sound from that time with the new songs…maybe someone can help? If not, I´m sure, that the new songs will be amazing!
22. February 2009 at 22:30
@wolverine u can find “time will tell” on youtube
23. February 2009 at 10:39
I think one of the best things with RMB and your own music as well from what I have heard so far is that it always manage to feel modern and relevant. I can go back to RMB songs from 1994 and they still sound very fresh today while other music I listened to from that era sounds kinda flat nowdays. This is a truly great quality which very few musicians manage to master. I have no doubt that I will still be able to fully enjoy Thirteen Stories if I put it on in 2020. It’s exceptional really, the only other music that stay that strong to me is Metallica, and that is a comparison you should be proud of.
I also think that the RMB music from 1993 is very different from the RMB music from 2001 even though they are both really awesome.
What I’m getting at is that even though you are not RMB and your new music is different fromt he music of RMB it sounds to me that they share the same excellent and immortal quality. It doesn’t really matter what name you choose, the fact that you are involved will always be a seal of quality in my book.
23. February 2009 at 10:54
It’s true and understanable, but it’s VERY sad for us, yout fans. But well, you are one of the most talented artists in electronic music, and it’s obvious that we trust in 13 stories. Good luck!
23. February 2009 at 15:29
JSays wrote exactly what I think:
You are an exceptional producer, and the music of RMB and Rolf Maier-Bode is timeless.
The only thing that would be greater than listening to your album is if I could make such ingenious tracks by myself. But of course this is impossible, and it would only sound like a bad copy.
I was also very sad when I heard that RMB won’t exist any longer. But that sadness ended when I listened to one of your snippets the first time, and I was very curious. Now that your album is finished it has completely turned into happiness.
Concerning the rest of RMB, I just wonder if Farid is going to publish some own tracks (except advertising music). But that’s not really important.
23. February 2009 at 17:18
to F-André: I also have CD Trax in lossless. )))
to Rolf: I first heard about the project RMB in 1998, with a clip Redemption … And I remember the first question I asked myself when listening to him: Who is it? Just then I was struck by the sound drastically different from the whole music of the time. The music was fast and fresh. And the video … It seemed to me that I actually got to the monastery and the music almost from God. This was a real RAVE!!!
More I have not heard any other songs until 2003, when some like to dig out the album Mission Horison II. Guys - it was Great! Two Month listening every day and not once. And I do not even know that the two composers, and that they have so much great music …
Years later, I read all this. And now I am proud to say: RMB - this is one of the best projects in the world. I have this feeling.
Rolf, you’re nice people! I’d even talked to you, written a few songs would have been possible. While miracles do occur. Really?
Transmitted by Farid A huge hello from Russia. Let know that your music and listen here.
I love your style, a particular style. This part of my life. And I will always be glad to hear it, whatever the title was in your new project. You’re always in my heart.
You endless good luck, good health and the highest point of creativity… )))
Elgrecoz.
23. February 2009 at 17:35
@F-André
where, please? i can’t find it :-/
23. February 2009 at 18:50
We all wish to see RMB instead of Rolf Maier Bode on CD Cover. Rolf wants to make music for his own to not to be confused with RMB. But we all know that RMB will be always Rolf Maier Bode, whatever kind of music Rolf will start to compose. As I said here before, Rolf was doing music under RMB name for his own, he was composing all songs without Farid like first TRAX and LOVE EP etc… And I believe that he also did most of the other RMB songs but we dont know about it.
I really miss those “aggressive” songs from the 90’s. RMB switched a little bit into too much commercial stuff like Spring’03 and Redemtpion 2.0 remakes which was prolly one of the baddest decisions in the band. Also Tribute to RMB for me is the most useless release.
But RMB 4ever, whatever you will call it as RMB or Rolf Maier Bode. For me it’s the same because Rolf is the man behind RMB. That’s the point.
23. February 2009 at 19:11
“Also Tribute to RMB for me is the most useless release. ” Its the only album i dont got
(i thought the tauhcer remix would be great but i heard the cd and even this remix was not so great like older remixes) 
the cd was in a too modern trance style … more hardtrance then club or techno club style trance… but the mission horizon was great (on of the best modern trance records)
i think 13 stories will be a real bomb
23. February 2009 at 20:32
@F-André
Thanks for comment…I´m still trying, but I can´t find it…maybe it´s in me, maybe in youtube, I don´t know..can you put here a link to the song, if it is still there? Thanks a lot!
btw..I also don´t like Tribute, I like only several remixes of RMB, but remixes from RMB are good!
Does anyone know, if this song : Phillips Vaughan - Flatlined (RMB remix) is remixed by Rolf and Farid, or only by Rolf?
23. February 2009 at 21:32
Honestly, I don’t care what it says on the cover - RMB, Rolf Maier Bode or something completely different. The music matters! And since a great deal of RMB’s history is connected with Farid, it is only natural to change the name.
23. February 2009 at 21:41
mal was anderes da ich nicht weiß wo es rein gehört .
könntest du dir eventuell vorstellen ein forum oder fanforum zu machen ?
das wär doch echt geil -)
da könnte man fragen stellen die beantwortest oder nicht .
dort kannst du ankündigungen machen usw…
dort kann man unterteilen in einzelne gebiete ..
cu
23. February 2009 at 21:50
[...] i hope that some of you like what i do on my own
[...]
I definitely do. And I also don’t care about the name, RMB or Rolf Maier Bode, the one WAS excellent, the other IS excellent. So, I can’t wait to get your new album, go on with your work. It makes us happy
23. February 2009 at 21:58
also there will be a question for all human -)
is there any chance to see Rolf Maier-Bode LIVE ?????????????????????
i remind me at one thing - i dont know wich year it was but i was wonderfull !!!
i was on a ride to some discos arround Bonn in NRW Germany .
in one of them there was a party with some super stars on the turntable .
it was in ” Bisquithalle Bonn” .
some friends and me , goes in there and want to have some fun and the tendency were good .
i dont even know rmb but on one point there was satisfies and the lights gone out .
a loud bang and the light gone on an there were some nice dancer and two guys with the hands in the air .
at this point i stand in a corner where i could see all i wanted to see .
i had my mouth wide open and stand there without moving -)
at the final with the place to be and a big bang i stand 20 minutes in the same corner -)
from this point i was a fan of rmb .
when i saw what the “stars” done on the turntable , i was affraid !!!
i didnt see them live again .
i hope that there will be a chance to see rolf live !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
23. February 2009 at 22:23
@wolverine: i hold that there is no Flatlined RMB Remix!
@gaesch: also so wie der blog hier?
23. February 2009 at 23:12
@Julian : I don´t know..you can find it on many official download pages..maybe it isn´t RMB like RMB
24. February 2009 at 01:10
ne nicht wie dieser blog .
hier kann nicht wirklich dikutiert werden und man muss auch sachen in einen block reinschreiben die nicht da rein gehören .
dazu kommt noch das man ellen lange seiten hat die in einem forum nicht anfallen …
24. February 2009 at 07:36
Things and sentiments from the past should stay, where they belong. I keep a very warm memory of the old times, yet the future has a lot more to offer. I fully agree with Rolf. “Thirteen stories” will be a huge piece to explore. I just can’t wait till I get it in my hands/ears
@all: Gyus, I know that mental changes are hard, but at least try to understand what this whole project is about
24. February 2009 at 11:18
Ich kannte mal ein RMB-Forum, da war mal was los! Aber das ist lange her - was wohl in der Natur der Sache liegt.
24. February 2009 at 11:35
Yannick: Und da haben imho die Ankuendigungen, denen zuletzt wenig *huestel* gefolgt ist, wohl einen nicht zu vernachlaessigenden Beitrag geleistet.
24. February 2009 at 13:30
Ja, was soll man jetzt auch noch diskutieren? Uns wurde ja quasi die Gesprächs- und Existenzgrundlage des Forums entzogen. Oder hättest du irgendwas zu verkünden?
24. February 2009 at 15:09
For me I understand Rolf’s frustration a little; you don’t want to be hunted always for what you did in the past.
But don’t forget nobody really knows why RMB fell apart and all this supressed anger concerning the breakup. I can imagine this was about money/artistic freedom but it feels like everyone keeps guessing.
I ordered Rolf’s cd already because I feel the sound of RMB is lifing in Rolf’s new tracks
24. February 2009 at 22:21
@wolverine here is one track…
you find most RMB vids by checking the related videos…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlWr4T9qHIM&feature=related
25. February 2009 at 00:28
well that’s “the time has come” (older classic) and not “time will tell” (final phase of rmb).
25. February 2009 at 09:47
Awesome song! one of those which I’ve missed thanx!
25. February 2009 at 09:57
It seems, that these late tracks are already lost…If they were played only in live sets and the set isn´t recorded… (Time will tell was played for example here : Sputnik Turntable Days in Peirnitz-Insel, Halle (Fri-06-Jun-03)) ok, the new album will be great compensation and I´m looking forward to get the package from Germany
25. February 2009 at 10:51
whoohooo.. thats by far much too fast… though the two main modulated sounds are still quite cool… better than the filtered sawtooth that ruled dancemusic from the late 90s on…
i remember these sounds being self programmed hard sync sounds on my brand new roland jd 990 these days… one oscillator was modulated by the mod-wheel and i modulated it a lot
25. February 2009 at 10:53
Oh, the Sputnik-Set was indeed recorded - even in acceptable quality - and is widely spread among the “real and true” RMB-Fans. Wonder from where you heard of those tracks without knowing the set.
25. February 2009 at 11:29
rolf, your remix of andy jay powell’s ‘like a dream’ is so good. special thx for that
25. February 2009 at 13:08
Rolf: there is no such thing as too fast
by the way, it would be extremely cool if you could post some info about the old RMB songs, like the ones you wrote now (what synth you used, how was it done, any story about that particular songs production). Of course just after you finished with the Thirteen Stories posts.
25. February 2009 at 13:22
Concerning the different views of track speed:
My new track has 150 bpm. One of the downloaders at Uptrax said that it’s Concorde speed - too fast for him. I guess he did’t start listening to techno in the 90’s when 150 bpm was regarded as slow. Robert Miles’ “Children” with about 140 bpm was the right music to fall asleep.
25. February 2009 at 13:43
By the way:
What was the fastest track of RMB? I tested some with a bpm counter and the “winner” was Matisse with about 176 bpm. (That was even too fast for the counter: above 170 bpm it seems to halve the beats, and so it showed 88.)
But times are changing, and maybe I really should slow down my new track a little…
25. February 2009 at 14:55
“Robert Said:
it would be extremely cool if you could post some info about the old RMB songs”
Yes, I agree.
After the thirteen songs where we will write our comments and discussions, it will be nice to have the same for old songs of RMB. It could be posted in this RMB category, and it will be the place for us to discuss about one particular song every time.
What do you think Rolf?
25. February 2009 at 15:16
somehow I doubt that Rolf will like the idea. why don’t you just give him a break, guys? rmb is no more. it’s time to move on. why don’t you just accept Rolf for what he is now?
25. February 2009 at 15:53
I agree with lilacfairy. I don’t think Rolf would like to talk about old stuff.
Besides that I am more interested in talking about the tracks he didn’t choose for the new album. Maybe we could listen to snippets of them or even to whole songs. That would be great!
25. February 2009 at 16:03
“RMB was a techno/trance project from 1994 to about 2005.” 2005? What about Nature one and Goliath in 2006? Just wondering…
25. February 2009 at 16:27
@cris80dr: in a few days you could find everything about the discography in the net
25. February 2009 at 16:56
@D.Machine - yea, Matisse is the fastest song from RMB. I love it very much! I really miss that kind of music nowadays. We need happy music!
25. February 2009 at 16:57
lilacfairy: i believe that those old songs are part of Rolf just as the new songs are. He may have (i’m sure he has) a lot of interesting production techniques, stories to tell from his past that relates to his present and his future.
25. February 2009 at 17:17
concerning the old RMB song “secrets”: from the standpoint of the producer the ROLF MAIER BODE stuff is much more interesting to my mind - there is a decade of experience between it
most of the tricks i used in the 90s are not very interesting anymore because todays computer will do the same tricks with just one mouseclick… even the standard preset sounds of recent virtual instruments are much better than anything from the 90s…
for example the sound of the spring melody was a ROM sampe from an roland jv 880 (”pizzicato”) through an external reverberator (sony R7) an then through an analog gate - thats three big boxes of electronics with all the cabling through a patchbay just to have a gated reverb sound on it…
@unedukated: that was the reason for the “about”… the music production stopped even before 2005…
25. February 2009 at 17:32
rolf: this IS a lot more interesting (to me at least) then clicking with the mouse on a plugin
maybe because i started making music in 96 myself 
25. February 2009 at 17:55
verstehe ich nicht: das kira album wurde erst 2006 über GrönlandRec. veröffentlicht, die Jan Plewka “geliebter Feind” wurde 2006 noch von Warner optioniert? war sogar auf dem keinohrhasen Soundtrack geplant..der doch erst 2007/8 raus kam..aber ohne den Song…und laut rmb-board wurden 2006 bei nature one noch neue tracks gespielt..irgendwas stimmt bei der Rechnung also nicht..
25. February 2009 at 18:45
@Robert: I agree with you. but talking about old RMB songs is probably not a step towards the future from his perspective.
quote from Rolf:
“Please allow me to concentrate on the future and my own music.”
I could ask millions of questions about RMB and their songs etc. But apparently he doesn’t want to answer them and I respect that. At some point you just have to let go and move on. Letting go of the past doesn’t mean forgetting about it, but concentrating instead on the future and being open for new developments. It’s hard to be open for the future if you’re mentally stuck in the past.
25. February 2009 at 18:54
@unedkated: kira ist nicht RMB - zudem möchte ich mich nicht zu details in diese richtung äussern. auch was letzte neue songs bei RMB auftritten anbelangt… sorry
25. February 2009 at 21:42
@Yannick : I saw only a tracklist on many pages, but not a download link…Can some real RMB fan post this set on some page? Please?

eigentlich sollte es doch im rmb forum eine möglichkeit geben den admin anzuschreiben, oder?
26. February 2009 at 12:25
one more thing about the history… i never cared about it but its not correct in the biography on rmb-musik.com for example…
the 1993 and 1994 releases on le petit prince were my solo project. farid did the cover design and worked for le petit prince like he did for adam & eve but he was not involved with the music.
so even the name RMB (without “Trax”) was used by me alone for some time… nevertheless the big success was with farid and therefore i will only use my full name for my own stuff…
26. February 2009 at 13:38
also…
“erschreckend” find ich, das zum thema RMB über 70 posts sind, und zu den snippets hier und da grad mal wesentlich weniger postings sind…
lasst den rolf doch jetzt endlich mal rolf sein.
ROLF MAIER BODE (klingt meiner meinung nach auch viel reifer und selbstbewusster als RMB.) ist gewachsen. sein “neuer” sound ist nach wie vor voller energie, aber wesentlich “weicher” und nicht mehr so hektisch.
er klingt wesentlich “flüssiger” und “runder”…
ich gehör wohl eher zu den leuten, die froh sind mit rolf “wachsen” zu dürfen, anstatt die ganze zeit zu sagen: “weisste noch, rolf, früher…”
wenn ich jetzt jemand auf die füße getreten bin… war NICHT meine absicht.

@christopher
Ganz deiner Meinung, ich fand es auch sehr schade als ich erfuhr, dass es RMB nicht mehr gibt, vor allem weil es IMO irgendwie still und heimlich geschah, und wir ihr letztes Werk wohl nie erleben werden.
Aber als ich diesen Blog fand sah die Welt wieder freundlich aus. Ein Abschnitt war zu Ende und ein neuer hatte begonnen. So sollten das eigentlich alle betrachten. Die RMB Zeit in Ehren halten und Rolf auf seinem neuen Weg begleiten und ihn tatkräftig unterstützen, damit dieser Weg so lang wie möglich ist.
Diese ganze Diskussion wird aber hoffentlich nachlassen, wenn das Album endlich draußen ist. Dann sollte eigentlich genügend neuer Gesprächsstoff vorhanden sein.
In diesem Sinne “counting the days”
26. February 2009 at 16:45
nur mal so -
die überschrifft ist RMB
die leute sollen demnach hier auch fragen dürfen oder ?!
wenn er klipp und klar schreibt das hier keinerlei fragen über rmb mehr beantwortet werden und es werden ja noch fragen beantwortet , würden die frager auch verstummen .
lasst ihn mal machen , denn er sagt eh nur so viel er will !-)
die schlimmen fragen werden doch gar nicht mehr gestellt , sondern nur die , die ums lieder machen gehen ->
es gibt immer noch welche die das alte gerne nachmachen würden ( auch wenn sie es mit besserem equipment und 15 jahre später nie schaffen werden .” sorry an die , die sich angesprochen fühlen”) und dann versuchen vielleicht ihre eigene kreation daraus machen .
In einem forum wäre sowas leicht zu modden -)-)-)

- music is timless…
ich finde neue projekte lobenswert, aber meine freunde und ich hängen an “good old rmb”!
selbst in den heutigen online-streams läuft rmb zum teil rauf und runter und die jungen leuts finden es einfach nur mega geil !
viele die ich kenne, die rmb jetzt erst kennenlernen durften, kriegen den hals einfach nicht voll und lechzen förmlich nach mehr “stuff”.
diese erfahrungen erlebe ich auch in discotheken/clubs/tanzlokalen etc…. die leute flippen heute noch genauso wie damals aus und fegen die tanzflächen leer …
in den 90′ern war es meiner meinung nach sauschwer überhaupt einen platz unter den top-20 zu ergattern, da gab es zu viel des guten… aber heute dürfte es wesentlich leichter sein denke ich…
wenn man die charts mal so richtig betrachtet, sieht man sogar den ein oder anderen alten/neuen hit … woran das wohl liegen mag ?
meine eltern lieben heute noch elvis - dabei lebt er doch gar nicht mehr *grins*
ich persönlich würde versuchen mit neuen projekten an die alte zeit anzuknüpfen… der name rmb steht für gute musik und außergewöhnlichen klangspielen !
wer weiss, vielleicht denkt rolf maier bode irgendwann doch noch mal über ein “rmb” comeback nach…
wir (my friends and me) würden uns jedenfalls sehr freuen, und wären auch die ersten die eine neue cd in den händen hielten !
au revoir,
sanny

Hey Leute, worum geht es hier eigentlich? Soll Farid mit auf dem Album stehen, oder wie? Wenn ich mir die Musik hier anhöre, muss ich sagen mehr RMB geht nicht. Hier schreibt ein Fan der ersten Stunde, der alle Alben, Platten, Single´s usw. von RMB zu Hause liegen hat und nicht weil ich Rolf oder Farid so mag, sondern weil die Musik spitze ist. Mir ist es also auch völlig egal, wer sie produziert! Es wird nie ein zweites “Hey Joe” geben, braucht man auch nicht, da “purple haze” noch besser ist…:)!Ich bin überzeugt das “Spring” noch nicht die Spitze des Eisberges war und freue mich den neuen einzigartigen Style von Rolf zu erleben.
@Rolf: Wie haben “Ravers Nature” eigentlich geschaut als sie den “Take Off” Mix von dir erhalten haben? An ihrer Stelle hätte ich aufgehört Musik zu machen…:)…
26. February 2009 at 20:40
@Thomas sagte
-Ich bin überzeugt das “Spring” noch nicht die Spitze des Eisberges war und freue mich den neuen einzigartigen Style von Rolf zu erleben.
wahre Worte, ich schließe mich nur an !!!!!!!
27. February 2009 at 07:27
What a discussion here. I have not read any of this many posts, but some people have to wake up. RMB is’nt any more, now and for the future the music comes from Rolf Maier Bode.
The style that he do now is much more adult than the earlier stuff. I enjoy spring, matisse, redemption and all the the other tracks today as well as the years before but it isn’t the music for this time. And thats what Rolf do, making music for the ambitious listener. Like I said, I was fond of the old music and much more now with the new songs. The old times, the rave times, are over…
27. February 2009 at 10:07
@Marc: I fully agree!
Let’s look forward. We all have to appreciate Rolf’s work and effort. He dedicated a lot of his time to complete the album. I believe that “Thirteen stories” will be a great success, which will clearly mark the opening of a new chapter in electronic music. The ROLF MAIER BODE chapter
27. February 2009 at 10:18
Yes, let’s not expect it coming back.
But last night I “remembered” once hearing different Versions of FTF (which, by the way, I really REALLY like) and it almost made me cry and really angry knowing that those fantastic tracks should never reach my CD-Player or anything else.
Beyond all measurement or interpretation -
THAT F****** SUCKS!!!!!!!
27. February 2009 at 10:48
Maybe rave times are over now, but the music will never be forgotten and always will be alive… in our cd players and especially in our hearts…
27. February 2009 at 12:07
@V-12/Tropyx Says: It’s not about forgetting anything. It’s rather about showing some common sense regarding future expectations
If Elvis is dead, you will not expect his come-back, will you? 
The same applies for RMB. We will always remember the good old rave time, but the future belongs to Rolf exclusively.
27. February 2009 at 12:38
@Thomas: I have to agree, to me the new samples sound more “RMB” like than their latest albums. It doesn’t have 160bpm anymore, but from the overall sound and how the songs develop, they sound very RMBish.
What I am very happy about the new tracks is, that they still sound like techno to me, some of RMBs later tracks were so much into breakbeat which reminded me more of hip-hop than (reasonably) fast techno music.
27. February 2009 at 14:02
@Yannick:
i understand you. i once heard a live set with the new track “chase the dragon” and then i believed, that “evolution” was going to be the best rmb-album yet .. it’s hard but that’s life. :-/
looking forward to rolf’s album!
27. February 2009 at 14:26
Yes, it’s hard to know that so good songs will never see the light maybe.
I remember that I listened to last new song (to me) of RMB that was “Limestar”.
hm… Where it was?
… Sachsen Center 2005?
27. February 2009 at 14:29
@Martin: Sorry dude, your knowledge about music is really poor. RMB never had so much with Techno (except maybe first songs), it was usually about Trance, Hard Trance, Rave (some people even call it Happy Hardcore, dunno why) music and later with some experiments with breakbeat style, and also downtempo and chillout tracks. No techno there.
@Tomek: well, even New Kids On The Block came back into the music business after plenty of years of being death. The Police came back, Collins came back to Genesis etc. It’s all about the money usually. Bands are coming back because they know that they will earn alot of money cause of this. I believe, that RMB with Farid one day will back (never say never!) but also RMB with or without Farid is still RMB and it’s Rolf behind it :). Also I hope that RMB will back for fans, not for money.
@hor80: I also believed that Evolution could be the best album ever (touch the sky, feel the flame, beauty of simplicity was just awesome!) but probably Rolf stopped working on this album because Trance era felt down a little bit. Take a look at the other artists who played Trance music at those times. They are now doing shit like ATB (sorry for this word) or they are doing nothing (Tomcraft, Westbam, lexy & k paul), because music market changed last years. young people buy craps like Cascada, and covers in club style. Even PVD changed his style. This is bad, when commercial reasons is killing the real music. Only Ferry Corsten and First State are keeping real Trance music without looking at commercy.
And it’s the truth that RMB was doing usually music for commercial condition of music market. But comapring to the other music producers, RMB music was always perfect even, if it was commerce.
Now Rolf is coming back with non commercial music, finally. I’m glad from that. He is finally doing music for his own without looking at music market.
And I hope that he will never forget about his all fans who loves his old music and trance stuff which was never released….
We just need more!
27. February 2009 at 14:37
V12 ->
dem ist nichts mehr hinzu zu fügen !!!
27. February 2009 at 14:44
Fully agree with V-12/Tropyx
27. February 2009 at 16:23
@ chris: Yes. Or was it 2006? And some weeks later in Erfurt.
27. February 2009 at 18:44
@V-12/Tropyx - Evolution is one of the best albums that was made (yes was, rolf did not stop working on it - it is done and dusted)
27. February 2009 at 21:33
Sorry Guys, but I can not agree with your comments. “Touch the Sky” and “Feel the flame” against “Spring” and “Redemption”? In my opinion the older RMB song`s were much more interesting and challenging than the last one´s. Personally, I liked that RMB were puting so many melodies on the top of each other and the specialized sound´s which they used. From my point of view “Feel the Flame” is a song wich erybody else can do. “Spring” and “playing the liquid” carry´s Rolfs signature…
28. February 2009 at 11:43
@V-12/Tropyx
yes thats the decision oen part of musicians go back to “underground”
or they chance their style to swim in a sea of thousands of bad musicians
@Thomas I also like Feel the flame very much
nice catchy vocals..
not that classic song like Redemption (Redemption had very Classic musical style)
and a typical RMB Melody its a wonderful song
@meals_on_planes
do you know about evolution why its dusted?? i mean copyrights or trance style or both? sry for the questions but days ago it was getting quite about RMB and then i heard they split but i (maybe noone) has any information…
28. February 2009 at 23:47
Wie soviele kann ich nur sagen, daß ich es natürlich auch irgendwie schade finde, daß es RMB so nicht mehr gibt, denn ihr habt mich eine kleine Ewigkeit begleitet - oder ich Euch. Dennoch, es gibt keinen Zweifel, daß Du auch allein Deine Hörer defenitiv nicht enttäuschen wirst. Freu mich auf die kommende CD und auf alles was folgen wird.
01. March 2009 at 10:26
Mir gefallen die neuen “13 Stories” Samples noch besser als die alten von “Evolution”. Dennoch - auch das, was ich von diesem Album kenne, ist klasse. Farid hat im RMB Forum vorgeschlagen, das noch als Download-Album bereitzustellen. Kannst Du Dir das vorstellen Rolf?
02. March 2009 at 01:09
Das war kein Vorschlag, das war eine Ankündigung…
02. March 2009 at 08:28
Somebody knows something more about the release of “Evolution”, even in a downloadable album (where and when)?
I can’t understand so much on RMB forum, since it is most of all a german discussion.
The tracks should be these one:
RMB - Evolution
01 4th level 1:47
02 chartres 1:07
03 >aprilapril< gangster & breakbeat Mix Extro 7:09
02. March 2009 at 08:28
04 beauty of simplicity 5:40
05 symphonic rhythm 2:53
06 endless tripin 2:28
07 feel the flame 7:12
08 touch the sky 5:26
09 artificial diversity 3:08
10 dragonchase 4:50
11 time will tell 3:29
12 free to believe 4:32
13 killer 2:43

15 aggressor 1:30
16 gangster 5:47
17 >april< gangster & breakbeat Mix Extro 7:09
02. March 2009 at 13:57
@Yannick
aus der laut Farid bislang nichts geworden ist, weil sich Rolf noch nicht dazu geäußert hat.
02. March 2009 at 14:07
Yes, this is the tracklist of “Evolution”. But this record is until further notice NOT released!!! So at present you had to rejoice in Thirteen Stories.
02. March 2009 at 14:10
2x April Extro?
02. March 2009 at 14:11
@V-12: You are right, and i never claimed to use an exact definition of electronic music styles. For me there are just 3 main styles, mainly differentiated by the speed:
1.) Techno, including Trance, House, Schranz and what not, usually 120-140 bpm.
2.) Electronic. For me mostly slow stuff like ambient, break beat, etc.
3.) Hardcore. Gabber, Rave (ok, not a music style per se, but rather an event), etc. The extra fast stuff.
But anyway, by Thomas’ comment I just realized what I really like about the new songs is not a special tempo, but the focus on great melodies again, which i missed in many songs from the “newer” RMB albums (like rmb rhythm disease) which more focused on rhtym than melodies.
PS: Just listening to the “Finale One” song from the old samples. I think that’s a perfect Rolf Maier Bode song, hope to have many songs of this style on the album.
02. March 2009 at 14:14
@ Yannick:
song number 3 is Trance Mix…
03 >april< trance mix 6:00
02. March 2009 at 14:15
@Yannick: 03 April [Trance Mix]
02. March 2009 at 19:16
so where did you get that tracklist?
02. March 2009 at 19:34
OK, I THINK I SHOULD SOMEHOW C L O S E THIS THREAD….
just once again: i would definitly allow to let you all download/mp3mail the whole evolution album as it is FOR FREE… thats what i told farid a long time ago… but if farid is going to make money with it there needed to be a settlement - which is quite unrealistic…
if i simply upload the album somewhere farid would definitly sue me, so please let us close this topic and look into the future
02. March 2009 at 20:51
No! I want real release, no Mp3! Come on dudes!
02. March 2009 at 20:54
@Martin S.: So time to learn! Techno, Trance and House are Three separated electronic music genres.
More to learn here: http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/
02. March 2009 at 20:55
Please, release Evolution asaa real CD/Vinyl release. I can pay for it and other fans for sure will do too.
02. March 2009 at 21:00
dann hoffe ich nur das jetzt keiner zu farid mit diesem thread geht und streit aufbeschwört .
wenn wir es irgendwie bekommen können werden wir es erfahren , nur lasst niemand deswegen streiten !!!

Have you tried invoving a third-party solicitor, who could work-out an agreement, that would be benefitial for both of you?

@Gaesch: Ich glaub das wurde bereits mehrfach durchgekaut.

so someone pls upload it at 4shared.com
03. March 2009 at 08:53
… this blog is NOT about uploading six year old stuff that i dont have the sole rights of… looks like i should close this thread…
03. March 2009 at 10:21
@ meals_on_planes:
I got the track list on the RMB forum
03. March 2009 at 10:57

03. March 2009 at 11:00
Damn it doesn’t work…
so if you go here: http://mgonline.gema.de/werke/
and look for title “fourth level”
you come pretty close to the Tracklist.
03. March 2009 at 11:10
How to find there the full list of Rolfs’ songs, without inserting the title?
I tried to search some songs and I arrived to a song unknown to me : perfect world.
I would like to find other.
03. March 2009 at 12:52
six years old or not.. your music is/was timeless
03. March 2009 at 13:24
The full list exceeds the maximum number of hits, so you won’t get it. At least I didn’t.
03. March 2009 at 13:27
03. March 2009 at 20:16
Brooklyn Bounce’s album “System Shock’1999″ was released after 8 year only as MP3, so we can wait ;)))))))))))))
03. March 2009 at 21:21
the gema site is a bit tricky.
Like if you are looking for Redemption try
(chose Titel) (choose beginnt mit) R
and for CAE/IPI choose (exakt) 245.52.16.80 (this is Rolfs Number) or 253.68.75.40 for Farid.
This way you can find out that Rolf made some fantastic CDs like ISWC: T-801.933.740-8 or Gema Licensed Tracks like ISWC: T-802.536.592-9
04. March 2009 at 08:28
@8hor0 : Thats true! If I enjoy hearing of Widescreen today, I can enjoy hearing Evolution, I hope, that we get this..I can pay for it, like I paid for the Thirteen stories. I like music, made by Rolf, so it would be sure thing for me.
04. March 2009 at 17:06
Da mein Beitrag hier gelöscht wurde, habe ich ihn auf dem Board uinter Various News posten lassen.
14. March 2009 at 19:28
128 Beiträge wow
RMB ist immer noch hoch angesagt
Was mich an dem Ende von RMB am meisten stört ist - dass es Ende ist und das wars………
Warum genau?
Was mit dem letzten Album passiert?
Warum das so passiert???
Warum kommt es nicht raus….. undundund
Es gibt immer die selben Fragen
Es müsste eine Quelle geben oder eine Stellungnahme zu den FRAGEN
Dann werden viele nicht so viel schreiben und fragen.
14. March 2009 at 19:40
wurde hier alles schon von rolf beantwortet!!!!!!
15. March 2009 at 13:07
das problem ist, dass die DETAILS von den beiden einzigen personen die es wissen unterschiedlich dargelegt werden würden… deshalb bitte ich immer wieder darum das nachfragen einzustellen… würde ich hier meine version der trennung beschreiben gäbe das nur böses blut… und die eigentliche trennung hat sich nicht nur über jahre hinweg vollzogen, sie ist auch insgesamt schon viele jahre her.
ihr solltet auch in eine vermeindliche “zusammenarbeit” nicht zu viel hineninterpretieren… viele die RMB hinterweinen konzentrieren sich im prinzip nur auf eine drei jahre währende periode (1994-1996) und meine, dass - sollten sich die beiden RMB protagonisten noch einmal zusammen finden - wieder ein “redemption” entstünde… das ist natürlich quatsch… in doppeltem sinne
ich sehe es so - musikalisch wurde 1996 mit spring und reality der höhepunkt eines bestimmen sounds erreicht dessen grundsteine schon jahre vorher gelegt wurden… es folgen viele schwierige jahre, natürlich nicht ohne musikalische lichtblicke… dennoch gab es keinen wirklich neuen, einheitlichen sound und erst recht keine vision für die zukunft…
nach einigen jahren der pause ist THIRTEEN STORIES ein neuanfang für mich und komplexe grundlage für einen neuen, reiferen sound… für mich ist es musikalisch sehr stark - ohne “füller” - mit meinem eigenen sound…
der zenith jedoch ist “singletechnisch” noch nicht erreicht - dies hatte ich aber bei THIRTEEN STORIES auch nie vor… mit klarem blick vollgas voraus
15. March 2009 at 22:37
Endlich mal Klartext!
Ich würde an deiner stelle diesen Blog “RMB” echt
Entfernen - dat macht dich noch depressive
Wenn du was Neues vor hast - und wirst hier ständig mit der Vergangenheit konfrontiert!1
17. March 2009 at 21:44
just want to say hello to mr. rolf, must say you are my hero of making the music so i would try to get me a copy of the album–i know it is great—
Best regards
don dominko
18. March 2009 at 18:27
to all who use last.fm:
the most listened rmb-album is the remix-album of rmb and friends.
it saddens me a bit.. please help to push the good old originals on top!
19. March 2009 at 08:49
no, THIRTEEN STORIES!
19. March 2009 at 09:07
Don’t worry, Rolf, THIRTEEN STORIES is listed under your Name and will be pushed
But the RMB-Originals are far superior to the Remixes of RMB and friends…
19. March 2009 at 09:49
RMB & Friends just suxx…
19. March 2009 at 13:41
Yeah, but maybe its just heared because people didn’t know it already.
19. March 2009 at 15:10
There is a nice saying that fits here:
“RMB est mort - vive ROLF MAIER BODE.”
(RMB is dead - long live ROLF MAIER BODE.)
19. March 2009 at 19:30
Je suis d’accord
20. March 2009 at 07:20
Oui, on pourrait parler aussi un peu en francais ici.
(Not really).
06. April 2009 at 12:54
What is true about the news in Discogs of the release of “Evolution”?
:O
06. April 2009 at 13:33
it’s already discussed in http://www.rolfmaierbode.com/blog/2009/04/02/sunshine-live-3409-2000/#comments
06. April 2009 at 19:15
I know, but I think that it’s a bit off-topic there.
Here it is more related to RMB.
06. April 2009 at 19:56
you are right, cris80dr.
06. April 2009 at 20:42
i c, yes that topic would fit better here
16. April 2009 at 20:25
according to discogs, evolution will be released in may. is that confirmed yet?
http://www.discogs.com/RMB-Evolution/release/1675200
16. April 2009 at 20:59
evolution - jetzt weiss ich warum der name
- weil es ewiiiig dauert ,-
16. April 2009 at 22:35
No confirmations, no sources, except probably Farid.
21. April 2009 at 20:54
Mich wundert das jetzt auch ein wenig. Wenn es doch heißt, Ende April - Anfang Mai kommt das Teil raus…. wieso gibts denn dann noch so GAR keine Infos bzgl Preis, welche Shops etc?
Hoffe aber, dass das es wirklich nun in nächster Zeit downloadable sein wird
01. May 2009 at 13:38
8,99 Euro bei Amazon.de ….das ganze Album. Scheint das günstigste Angebot zu sein. Aber allein vom Sample-reinhören gefällt mir 13 Stories schon deutlich besser
…war wohl leider nix mit “so gut wie umsonst anbieten” … da hat sich wohl wer quer gestellt….
01. May 2009 at 21:18
But Rolf, you told that you didn’t find an agreement with Farid.
The situation changed?
Is the album selling with your authorization?
02. May 2009 at 11:53
Yeah, I also bought it on Amazon, but 13 stories is definitly better. Especially the “faster” tracks on Evolution are not as amazing as expected. However, still worthwhile. Much better than most of the electronic music stuff out there
nowadays.
02. May 2009 at 11:58
I think I should add something, because my post before maybe sounds a bit too negative (sorry about that): what I wanted to say: it is good but it is not “widescreen”.
02. May 2009 at 14:55
Yes, it’s good…. but it’s not typically RMB to my mind. Maybe 1-2 Tracks…. it could be an album of DJ Tiesto or ATB too.
13 stories is definetely better
05. May 2009 at 19:42
13 Stories ist deutlich besser!! Kein Wunder das euch das Album niemand veröffentlicht hat:)… Symphonic Rhythm & April finde ich persönlich gut…
06. May 2009 at 11:01
Och kommt, sooo schlecht isses nun auch net! Hebt sich immernoch über weite Strecken vom Einheitsbrei ab - man muß halt auch bedenken, wie viele Jahre es jatzt schon auf’m Buckel hat.
Und wir sind alle von 13S verwöhnt…
06. May 2009 at 12:45
ich find evolution gut. finds nur schade, dass die eher “ungewoehnlichen” tracks (zumindest fuer die zeit) relativ kurz sind, genauer gesagt endless trippin, symphonic rhythm, artificial diversity und aggressor. allerdings sind auch die tracks, die ein bisschen mehr nach mainstream klingen, ziemlich gut, die vocals sind einfach bestechend
ich weiss natuerlich nicht, wie es dir dabei geht Rolf, aber ich glaube, soweit ich das beurteilen kann, wenn ich in deiner situation waere, waere ich froh, dass es endlich raus ist und sozusagen die “ghosts of the past” nun endlich ruhen!
06. May 2009 at 16:27
Ich vermisse auf dem Album einiges. Z.B. fehlende Vocals (TTS, BoS), leider hat Time will tell nicht mehr den stampfenden Maschinen-Rhytmus, und Chase the Dragon und das Intro wirken so auseinandergerissen, nachdem das für mich immer wie EIN Track war.
10. May 2009 at 23:38
I’m glad I got here, but dissappointed about this news, but nothing is forever :(. Last time I saw RMB was on Nature One in 2004. It was great. RMB was one of the best electronic music creators. Such a specific music, different, sweet, just great!
Say hello to Marusha, Hell and others!!!
atm I’m collecting all old school tracks. Where can I get all tracks of RMB?
Thanks!!!
11. May 2009 at 08:43
ebay is a good choice
28. October 2009 at 21:22
I was wondering whether it is possible to get the note sheets especially for the RMB tracks somewhere. Today I figured out the right chords for Spring on the piano, but it always takes a while.
Any idea, if the notes are available? I think the guitar chords and main melody would be enough to work out the rest of the track.
Rolf, might be interesting to offer something for download…?
10. November 2009 at 00:08
RMB I know I know… but I want to see you on Nature One 2010 !!! NO EXCUSES!!!
21. July 2010 at 03:44
Well, Rolf… Of course, I was the real fun of RMB, but everyone has his own creative way, I think
Thirteen Stories is big, deep and intelligent work!!! In this way, I like it much more than Mission Horizon or Evolution! 
Of course, This World Is Yours (especially Passport To Heaven and Your Love Is An Ocean) and Widescreen (especially Reality and Break The Silence) will have the special place on my mind and in my heart, because it was my best teenage years! 
Anyway, I’m still your fan! You are the great Musician and you always will be the real legend for me!!!
Thank for you creation, Rolf!!!

07. October 2011 at 18:14
Hi Rolf,
Here is an orchestral version of Spring by me. What do you think?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWA5MfbAF6w
24. November 2011 at 04:03
Nunja, ich mag ein “ewig Gestriger” sein, aber bin ehrlich.
Die Sounds von RMB waren fetziger… mit Druck… und Speed.
Aber jetzt?
Bitte: RMB war der Inbegriff in den 90`s für einzigartigen Techno;
seit ca 3 Jahren kommt eine Welle namens “Hardstyle” auf, die wie eine dicke Kopie klingt, aber doch nichts taugt.
Bitte: nicht im ruhigen schwelgen, sondern nochmal aufdrehen!
Ich wette, wenn Rolf noch 1x als RMB was Vernünftiges nach altem Style auf den Markt schmeisst: das knallt!
Wenn nicht: schade, wirklich!
Trotzdem danke für viele “Trax”, die immer wieder mal meine Räumlichkeiten (und Nachbarn) hören dürfen…
