The first clue as to what Gold Zebra sounds like is to notice that they are signed to Visage Musique – a label out of Montreal that specialized in the darkest, smoothest, most arpeggiated electronic pop. This is a seriously wonderful label, so their endorsement of a band speaks volumes to their quality.
November Növelet is a side-project of Haus Arafna. The sounding of November Növelet is different from Haus Arafna's with the more feminine outlook of their works, as Ms. Arafna is in control by doing the lead vocals. The unique experiments with analogue sounds appropriate to the other Galakthorrö artists remain in their works. They developed over time and crystallized into an Angst Pop with a tendency to Electro New Wave and so Haus Arafna could carefully deal with the industrial origins of Angst Pop.
The Product were a minimal wave duo from the small villages Kvistgaard and Espergaerde, in the north of Denmark. They met in the Autumn of 1982 and recorded their sole album "Alive Again" over a weekend. It was self-released on cassette in 1983 and limited to 50 copies. "Alive Again" features 11 songs recorded in two short live takes directly onto one cassette. The Product employed a basic set up of Micromoog, Roland JX-3P and TR-606 Drumatix. With these three instruments they crafted melodic, icy electronic rhythms with detached vocals. They were influenced by UK post-punk bands Second Layer, This Heat, Wire, Gary Numan, Fad Gadget and most noticeably The Cure's Pornography album. Lyrics revolve around growing up in broken homes, alienation and romance. Each song has been carefully remastered from the original cassette master for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. "Almost afraid of it" is a sneak peak into the world of Danish post punk bedroom cassettes.
