Elektroklänge debuts on Alfa Matrix with ‘Approach To Tokyo’ track – Kraftwerk fans rejoice!
A few days ago we announced that Alfa Matrix had started to distribute its free “Sounds Of The Matrix 017” CD with all its online orders. One of the bands on there is actually a brand new signing: the Stockholm based Elektroklänge. With Elektroklänge Alfa Matrix adds a second band next to Metroland offering a Kraftwerk signature sound, and one which is also into trains so it seems.
The track offered on “Sounds Of The Matrix 017” is “Approach To Tokyo” in the Straight Connection Mix version. The song describes a journey by Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo. For those unfamiliar with Japanese technologie, the Shinkansen is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. You can check the track below, which is available now on Bandcamp.
Note that the Japanese version of “Approach to Tokyo” was first made public on social media back in October 2014, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Shinkansen. You can listen to the track below.
The band is currently working on its debut EP. More info when we get it.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
The donations are safely powered by Paypal.
