Art begets art, the saying goes. A cliché as big as a house, but one that holds a fundamental truth. More than likely, Passengers A. and S., the sonic engineers of Metroland, will need no persuading: on "Mind The Gap", their impressive debut released in 2012, they already put the theory of the Gesammtkunstwerk into practice and instantly established their vintage electronic trademark sound which also brought them unmistakable comparisons with keyboard pioneers like KRAFTWERK or yet TELEX. More than two years have passed since, but even though 2014 saw the release of "Thalys", a tribute to the high-speed train, the work on the new album started almost immediately after the first album's launch.
Inspired by the basic principles of design in general - Unity, hierarchy, variety, the passengers deemed it logical to draw inspiration from the art movement where these principles were put into practice and resulted in an almost unbelievable array of artefacts and creations: the Bauhaus movement, founded in 1919 by the architect Walter Gropius. The idea of creating a total movement, where all art forms would be present, sparked a creative avalanche, with a huge and lasting influence - to this day - on art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and even typography. Unity, variety and hierarchy indeed. It was only logical that these would become the trinity of values for the music and design of Metroland’s “Triadic Ballet” album: three silvery discspackaged in a Bauhaus-inspired deluxe edition: Part 1, aptly titled ‘Unity’,starts off with a trilogy of “Design”, emphasizing – again – unity, variety and hierarchy. “3 Directors”, a far more nervous and edgy affair, could well be the perfect soundtrack to the rollercoaster ride experienced by the Bauhaus’ three directors Gropius, Meyer and van der Rohe. It paves the way for “Ikone Der Moderne”, a 90’s electro inspired four-to-the-floor, soothed by rainy arpeggios and driven forward by throbbing strings. “Zeppelin” then, is definitely up, up and away, providing blue skies and breathing space, before the frenzy returns with“Machines Gone Mad” and the weirdness of “Triadic Ballet”. “Art + Technology” and “Struktur” find some inspiration in the great city of Düsseldorf, while “Les 3 Couleurs” (The 3 Colours) shows the Passengers moving into their own ground. “The Manifesto” is the seamless combination of musical backdrop vs spoken word, and as such it’s an intriguing illustration of the Bauhaus theory. It’s also the perfect introductory piece for “Utopia”, probably the most emotionally gripping song Metroland have created to date: Bauhaus was about men who believed in a utopian world where human meets mechanical: if the band succeeded in one thing, it's proving that this combination, when applied to music, can lead to astonishing and moving results. Part 2 and 3 belong to the remixers. They took the songs, filtered them through their own artistic sieve and came up with results as diverse as they are interesting: from the synthpop of the Greek Fotonovela to the electro of Laurent Paranthoën’s Commuter, or the minimal EBM of Belgium’s Absolute Body Control to the toy shop of Playboy’s Bend (origin unsure. Could be La La Land). All in all, it’s a different journey than disc 1, for sure. But those who stick with it to the end, may find it a rewarding addition to the voyage.

It's with deep sadness that we have to announce the passing of Louis Zachert, also known as Metroland's Passenger L. Louis Zachert, also known as Metroland's Passenger L (or Brother Louis), passed away in his sleep 2 days ago. The death of Louis Zachert has moved a lot of people who have known him personally. In a short but strong statement the Belgian electronic groupMetroland have expressed their sadness:"Words fail with the loss of Louis Zachert, our very own beloved and amazing Passenger L. His final touches on all of our music has had a definite impact and in most cases made a world of change over the last two decades. It's with tons of grief and disbelief that we are forced to say goodbye to one of our closest and oldest friends since 1994! Things will never sound the same again. Forever friendship!" Louis Zachert's musical career span many years, including a solo album "Vie!" (1992) under his own name, a lot of sound engineering work onIonic Vision releases ("The End", "Sweet Isolation", "Complete Isolation") and albums under theCycloon name together with Axel Kleintjes ("Plasma Fusion", "Head|Over|Now", "Zeitseize ", ...). Many of these releases are now impossible to find and have gotten a second life on eBay reaching incredibly high prices. Via hisUnderTheRoof - Audio Mastering studio Louis Zachert kept himself very busy working with other artists like David Rey, Inertia, Digital Factor, Leo Nocta, Ortta, Bye Bye Leader, Amaury, Philine, Jean Delouvroy, Buenas Ondas, No Sunglasses, Darkmen, Teradélie and so on. Alfa Matrix's Bernard Van Isacker issued the following comment:“If there was one person who really was genuine in the dark scene in Europe (and especially Belgium), then he was the one and only you should have cherished. My condolences go to Louis’ wonderful wife Petra and to Sven and Andy who have lost their musical father and a dear friend.” Side-Line reviewer co-editor in chief Stephane Froidcoeur aka Deranged Psyche was particularly touched by Louis' "11000 Virgins" album which was released under the Black Wedding moniker in 2008:"He was a real kind person with a great musical knowledge; it always was a pleasure to meet him and I'll remind him for his genius Black Wedding album." The sadness is everywhere but the good memories will prevail. Bis später Louis!
