about the songs in the player 01 ed straker Homage to Commander Straker of SHADO. The English TV series UFO from 1970 is one of my favourite TV shows. Ever. 02 saucers over tokyo Is this DISCO or what? Never been to Tokyo. MUST go there one day. 03 confetti check a-ok Sir Alan Davey on bass here. Real nice guy. Great musician. One of the best bass players on planet Earth. Ex-Hawkwind. Got a cool new band now called Gunslinger. And a zillion other projects. 04 berliner schule Sir Harald Grosskopf on drums here. I first heard him play in 1976 on the Klaus Schulze album 'Moondawn'. One of the best drummers on planet Earth. Met him once at his home! He's a real nice fella. Was on tour in Japan with Manuel Göttsching recently. 05 planet der verlorenen träume Homage to English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958). English classical music is still criminally underrated. 06 patrick mcgoohan Homage to the American born actor and creator of cult classic TV series The Prisoner. Played in Columbo. Four times! And made Danger man, too. ____________________________________________________________ __________ about hensel 3000 My name is Frank Hensel. I grew up and still live in Gelsenkirchen, Germany (the so-called 'town of 1000 fires' then) in a typical Ruhrgebiet working class background. Coal-mines, coking plants, steel mills and chemical industry darkened the sky and the mind and thus I started to read science fiction extensively and listen to music intensively. Right from the start I fell utterly in love with space and time and travelling through it, and it still has a huge impact on my work. At the beginning of the 90's I found musicians good and patient enough for a big serious project: the trio called The Enemy Within. For the next two years we played all over Germany and were local heros in the Ruhrgebiet. We recorded a self produced album in 1993 called Pulp but due to famous 'musically differences' dissolved in 1994. I found the time to write two science fiction musicals: the rock musical The Libuda Conspiracy and Space Patrol (based on the German TV series from the 60's 'Raumpatrouille' - see my top friends). 'Too far out stories for the usual friend of musicals' and 'too expensive to produce' was the experts' opinion. Both never made it to the stage to day. Apart from some sound installations for museums and music for short films I composed and produced the music for the highly acclaimed CD-Rom 'Industrial Heritage Trail'. Under the name of hensel3000 I have thrown out 9 CDs of electronic music since then. ____________________________________________________________ __________ about MyOuterSpace My new love is the MyOuterSpace project (see No. 1 in my top friends). For MyOuterSpace Vol. 1 I had the honour and privilege to record the track 'berliner schule' with one of my musical heroes, Harald Grosskopf, the legendary German drummer who played (among hundreds of others) on the Klaus Schulze 'Moondawn' album. You can download 'berliner schule' in much better sound quality than on this site on the MyOuterSpace website for free. www.myspace.com/myouterspace3000 For MyOuterSpace Vol. 2 I had the honour and privilege to record the track 'Confetti check A ok' (based on the UFO episode of the same name) with Alan Davey on bass (Ex-Hawkwind, now with Gunslinger) and with the outstandingly gifted German female singer Gabi Bott on vocals. Be sure to hear more from her in the future here. Here you find the short version of 'Confetti check'. You can download the long version in much better sound quality on the MyOuterSpace website for free. www.myspace.com/myouterspace3000 ____________________________________________________________ __________ hensel 3000 discography dumarests traum (2000) planet der gefahren (2001) die schostakowitsch-mission (2002) betaville (2002) les vacances de m. hensel (2003) der mann aus der zukunft (2003) galactic love (2005) mujuuryoku (2007) elektrische sinfonie nr. 1 (2007) 'MyOuterSpace' Vol. 1 (2008) incl. the track 'berliner schule' with Harald Grosskopf 'MyOuterSpace' Vol. 2 (2008) incl. the track 'confetti check A ok' with Alan Davey click here to have a listen and to download MyOuterSpace Volumes 1 and 2 FOR FREE |
