| Editor’s Note |
|
Wolfgang Mitterer, the acclaimed contemporary composer and great experimenter, has embarked on a journey into the world of pop, writing songs and lyrics and mixing whatever there is to mix. The new album produced by this cheerful commuter between musical genres provides the perfect sound for all locations, whether you’re looking for underground music or tracks for your favorite techno clubbing, discotheque or jazz club. And the perfect sound, too, for actress Birgit Minichmayr, celebrated star of the Wiener Burgtheater and Berliner Volksbühne, who originally wanted to become a singer. Her smoky and sensual voice snuggles up to cool sound samples, succumbs to the beat, and gets into the groove together with a crew of multi-stylistic instrumentalists: Sopop! These fantastic song-balloons soar high into the commercial music sky and are quite likely to cause major disruptions of the pop charts.
