Press Release „Rayon X“, the title of the new album from cult French multimedia-fetish-art-project Die Form is interpretable in manifold ways, as, on the one hand, it is the French term for x-rays which are used to look underneath the surface of what is visible to the bare eye. On a more symbolic level, it can also stand for the section in the dark back end of a library, which holds all the forbidden titles or as an analogy for the photochemical process that makes photos visible. It is, thus, a perfect symbol for the central themes of the band helmed by sound-wizard and photo-artist Philippe Fichot, namely the glimpse behind the human facade and the exploration of “forbidden” themes and obsessions in a multi-medial combination of music and photography … and it also fits the new album hand in glove. On “Rayon X”, Die Form have distilled the essence of their work and created one of their most fascinating works to date. The cold, minimalist electronics, combined with machine-like rhythms and Philippe Fichot's severely manipulated vocals create the same mesmerizing fusion of surreal atmosphere and harsh club-sounds that...
Press Release “Schaulust” is a German term for the often compulsive craving to watch something. The new single from legendary French Fetish-Art-Electro-project Die Form addresses the hidden voyeur in all of us, the little demon that is leering just below the surface to pop out and gloat over moments of great beauty or extreme horror. “Schaulust” is a fascinating dance floor-compatible sonic sculpture comprised of erotic coldness, hard rhythms, room-filling synthesizer soundscapes and impulsive analog sequencers, a seamless continuation of Die Form's great cult classics like “Bite Of God”, which are still mandatory plays at any underground-disco. With a minimalist electronic approach and the mesmerizing interplay between mastermind Philippe Fichot's harsh vocals and the pure angelic voice of Éliane P., the French band creates a kind of hypnotic pull that is instantly captivating. The MCD is limited to 696 copies and contains the title track in a “Scopic Pulsion”-single-mix and a clubby Extended Remix, plus exclusive remixes of new songs “From Dreams To Machines” and “Zoanthropia.” The new single from one of the most influential bands of the European electronic underground is a must-own for fans and an exquisite appetizer for the upcoming album “Rayon X”, which will be released soon.

Press Release One of the most prolific and unique musical projects in the electronic music scene returns with a long-awaited new long-playing album that marks one of the strongest works Die Form has ever created. Elaborately combining mesmerizing and disturbing photo art, experimental sound scapes, classical influences, heavenly voices and a rather healthy dose of relentless club sounds, Philippe Fichot and Éliane P. weave a sonic web on “Noir Magnétique” that is nothing short of enthralling. It is seldom that music works in both a club context and as a work of art. Die Form have achieved just that… while “Noir Magnétique” is one of the group’s most accessible and dance floor compatible releases, ever, easily matching their most successful club hits, it still sports an absolutely unique sound and artistic vision. The album expertly continues the path Die Form took with last year’s smashing single “Her(t)z Frequenz” (which is also featured on the album in a dazzling new mix) with strong beats, enticing melodies, cold sounds and a constant tug-o-war between harsh emotional coolness and pure, innocent beauty. “Noir Magnétique” will be released as a regular CD version and a lavish collector’s set, limited to 999 copies, and containing the album plus the special exclusive 7” single “Kobol” and a deluxe large-size booklet with the album photo art in an elaborate 7”-sized box. “Noir Magnétique” is not only driving Die Form’s unique sound to perfection – it is also an instant classic that shows the French Art Electro project at its very best. Electronic Club Sounds as an art form!
