Infinitus Ensemble
(CMP 32) Infinitus Ensemble - Scherbenschlaf (Sleep of Shards) (2009/2015)
A German journalist once said:
"Das Album ist gleichermaßen geeignet für Querdenker, Philosophen, LSD Junkies, Kiffer oder einfach nur Musikliebhaber abseits des Mainstreams"
And we can only agree. A fabolous work!
An unique mix of:
MedusaDa/ Psychedelic/ Krautrock (with extra portion Kraut)/ ambient Post-Rock/ Avant-Garde/ organic (dark)Ambient/Experimental/ Sound Experiments/ Field Recordings/ Collage/ Radio Play /Occasional spoken words (German)
But there is as always much more to discover in the music of the Ensemble.
Vocals are reduced on this record, though occasional spoken words appear here and there. You can also hear piano layers, field recordings, electric guitars and many experimental sound textures, including objects, gong, bells etc etc.
Scherbenschlaf is a concept album and the seamless mixdown underlines this fact.
Therefore we recommend the CD verision for maximum pleasure!
Professional 8 page cover hiding inside the outside cover, made of REAL and beautifully structured Wallpaper!!!
This is a strictly limited deluxe wallpaper edition (only 50 pieces available!!!!) and it will NEVER come again this way!!!!!
Release date: 11. October 2015

Label: Against it Records
Infinitus
Ensemble
(Iri Li and R. Rabendorn) already started to record the songs for
this album in 2005 and finally here it is: “Na,
Poleon?”,
an
experimental
radio- play kind of odyssey.
There
are so many little things to
discover here, so much detail (listen to
“Nachtablettenaugenaufschlag”)
If you like "avant-garde
ideas" (whatever this may be) standing with both feet in the
Underground
you may agree that this is an unique album.
It's no easy
listening album, you really need
some time and muse.
“Na,
Poleon?” is
a true gapless concept album and it sounds and was written, mixed
& mastered as one “whole” consisting of
many components.
Actually
it works best when you listen to it as one piece.
It
would be hard to
translate the German lyrics into English, cause IE like to create new
words and they play with words, especially on this album.
Even
people
who are able to understand German have to listen carefully and read a
couple of times between the lines.
Hopefully
people who don’t speak German will also like this album.
Although
it doesn’t sound like Einstuerzende Neubauten’s
“Hamlet Machine”,
people
who like that Neubauten album could also like “Na,
Poleon?”.
The
partly
cryptically lyrics (spoken words) are probably a reflection of
today’s
society and
its categorizations of “sanity” and
“insanity” and how we can
lose ourselves within the so called “norms”
indoctrinated by
governments & societies
..ok, there is a bit
more here, but it depends on your own experiences.
Under the
surface this album is probably political & critical of society.
It
is not really possible
to categorize the music on the CD (we would call it MedusaDa
(German ironic wordplay and genre for non-genres and trademark for
“Remove all barriers!”). In fact you can hear
many different sounds and so called genres. In the end it is some
kind of
organic analogue experimental
underground radio-play with sounds
from genres
like Ambient, Avant-Garde,
Dark Ambient, Classic Piano music, Field Rec., DaDa, Jazz, Noise,
Krautrock, Surrealism
and more.
Written
by Iri Li & Ralf Rabendorn (the latter also did the artwork,
pictures and mastering)

(FSR-17) Infinitus Ensemble - Scherbenschlaf (Sleep of Shards) (2009)
Label: Frequent Sea Records.
Finally a new (concept) album with new tracks. The main influence on this record is probably experimental ambient music. But there is as always much more to discover. Vocals are reduced on this record, though occasional spoken words appear here and there. You can also hear piano layers, field recordings, electric guitars and many experimental sound textures, including objects, gong, bells etc etc.
True DIY release(everything is hand made or home printed by Al from FSR).
Really beautiful outside cover, including a full colour booklet (english/german version) and full colour printed CD-R surface, re-closable protection bag.
Original pictures by Iri Li.
MEDUSADA/ Avant-Garde/(dark)Ambient/ Experimental/ Sound Experiments/ Field Recordings/ Collage/etc
Unfortunately there has been a problem with the first bunch of copies. The tracks all had gaps (silence) between the songs. This was NOT intended. There was a technical problem during the copying process done by the label. Sorry for the people who received these copies. We had no influence on that. But we have decided to order a bunch of new copies to avoid further problems. All new ordered albums (available now only through ContraMusikProduktion, FSR copies are sold out) won't have these gaps. So you get the album as it was meant to be: One concept album. The CD is still labeled as a FSR- release, cause it comes with the same artwork done exclusively by FSR !

2004)" (2007)
Old unreleased material from MEDUSADA pioneers Infinitus Ensemble.
Some
songs may be different compared to their new stuff, but definitely
interesting and you can clearly hear that this is an Infinitus Ensemble
(concept) album.
Experimental,
avantgarde, Krautrock, field-recordings, mostly
instrumental.
Comes in a special hand made cover with additional photos.(RR)

(CMP
11) "Infinitus Ensemble - Auf den hölzernen Pferden reisend"
(2005/2006)
MEDUSADA, experimental, avantgarde, alternative
rock, ambient, surrealism, dada, exp. rock, jazz... A mix of
experimental songs and
rather "normal" (exp.) alternative rock songs.
This album proves the
musical variety of Infinitus Ensemble. They even sing!!
Fans
of the "traditional" Ensemble may be "shocked" by the rather "normal"
songs. But this album also includes "classic" material like
"nirgendwoirgendwohin".
Comes in a
special made cover
with many wonderful photos and lyric
sheet.
