Moodorama allowed themselves more than 2 years to bring their new work "Mystery in A Cup of Tea" to perfection. The Regensburg natives thereby developed a state of the art fusion of electronic music and natural instruments, a challenging sound collage, only rivaled by their own high levels of performance. The result is an absolute treat of timeless and varied music. This was time well taken: the result is an exciting journey through the magic land of electronic music... To catch the emotions- the "moods"- is a cornerstone in the development of moodoramas new album. While tracks like "Never Mind" give in to a subtle melancholy, "Lovechild" reminds us of the summer of its' creation offering the upbeat mood of garden and sun. "A Present to Mr. Ma" is a hommage to world-famous cello player Mr. Yo-Yo MA, whose almost "singing" cello tunes have been a great influence on the "mood" of moodorama. "Like it or not" is an experimental piece, close to classic jazz music, and inspired by the clicking of the old clock's pendulum in grandma's kitchen. No song is like the other one, like no feeling resembles another. "Listen", the precursor to the current album is a soft homogenous cosmos of downbeat. In the new album however the team around Martin Sennebogen sports a new more diversified collection of songs. "Mystery in a cup of tea" is an unusual discussion between material and music, more sharp- edged than the earlier album but nevertheless a suitable companion for all walks of life. Despite this versatility the album nevertheless pursues the characteristic style of moodorama. This very style however, refuses categorization. The "Mystery" of moodorama is, how they managed to come up with the secret thread, binding the various pieces together. Martin Sennebogen has been creating electronic music for years. Once inspired by Kraftwerk and early HipHop formations he created the formation moodorama in 1999, now ranking among the top representatives of the German NuJazz and Lounge publication of already 3 successful albums "Basement Music" (1998), "Music for Collapsing People" (2000) and "Listen" (2003), Martin Sennebogen, Marco Koestler, Bernhard Frank and Kerstin Huber are meanwhile represented in over 120 compilations. Among them are Café del Mar, Ambient Lounge, Hugo Boss Complete Cool and sound For The Magic Island Ibiza, the stereo Deluxe Compilations Slow mo, Bassic Instinct and the successful Audiopharm Compilations Brazilectro and Asia Lounge. Beside the current audio CD there will also be a DVD in Dolby digital 5,1 mixture (Dolby Surround) featuring Visuals of international video artists from various countries like Austria, Croatia, France, Spain, Russia, and USA. The pre-release Vinyl Maxi "Furious Floods" with Tracks of the coming album as well as two remixes of Beanfield (Compost Rec./Munich) and Atjazz (Mantis Rec./UK), quickly moved up and stayed in the top five of the German club Charts. Contrary to other artists, who produce pure studio albums, moodorama stands out as a highly apreciated live-act. Moodorama live acts were a huge success at events like the "Marlboro motel club" tour in Berlin/Hamburg/Munich, at the Indigo Music Hall in Istanbul, at the festival "Jazz of over Villach", in the King Kamehameha club Frankfurt, or at the Liz Claiborn fashion event in Amsterdam. At the same time the moodorama DJ crew, consisting of Martin Sennebogen and Mario Malzer tours the "hot spot" european clubs and serves masterful club sound. Past gigs happened at places like WMF/Café Moskau (Berlin), Unique (Düsseldorf), Into somethin'/Die Registratur (Munich/Compost Rec.), Roxy/Indigo Music Hall (Istanbul), Lasal (Barcelona), Q-Bar (Bangkok), the Ministry of Sound Compilation DJ-Tour "brazilution 5.2" or the "Marlboro Motel Club"-Tour. For the Ministry of Sound 'brazilution DJ-nights 5.3' they were booked together with Compiler Ian Pooley. Further Gigs for fashion labels like Strenesse, Marc O'Polo, Body Look, Liz Claiborne or Esprit acknowledge their deeper sense of music selection for their showcase. On top of that, the moodorama crew works on productions of sound and visual effects for meetings like the Leipziger fashion fair 2004, Surround Trailer for all Imax cinemas in Austria, the sound track for BMW 1 series presentation 2004, the Cinemaxx trailer "Lass Dir Zeit", and a Comdirectbank TV Spot. Other projects include Tricatel Inc., with its' first spin off "no samba mi criei" being featured exclusively on the label compilation "Brazilectro". Due to large demand especially from France and USA a Vinyl single of "no samba mi criei" was issued.

Basement Music
Darkness I believed in your love But it's hard to now After all that happened But my heart still does In your eyes there's always be this shining But now there's nothing nothing else But darkness All I really want is love All I really need is love Where are you now I want you back my love How can I understand What's in your mind Why can't you just do, your heart is telling you With you the first time I felt like a girl But now there's nothing nothing else But darkness All I really want is love All I really need is you Where are you now I want you back my love
*** Thanx a lot to Ray for this one ***
Music for collapsing people
*** Thanx a lot to Jason for these lyrics *** Sinzing sunset boulevard When you appeared and suddenly i saw myself Again nobody knew who i was not even me Did i find me or another us - who knows But i don't care anymore Simple things in life are the best Love so warm besides Simple things in life are the best Love so warm besides I took up the chase and tried to catch as much as possible Didn't find truth how should i know my fate was life Can you hear the edge i do and i think it's harmless Otherlands like you unknown and new Simple things in life are the best Love so warm besides Simple things in life are the best Love so warm besides I fell in love and then it took me up But my soul needs the flow Can't tear me up Simple things in life are the best Love so warm besides Simple things in life are the best Love so warm besides Overwhelming the strength gave me the sense of life Could it be so w rong the pulse should never die Then beauty strikes and life comes out of the golden days I fell in love and then it took me up Simple things in life are the best Love so warm besides Simple things in life are the best Love so warm besides Loss of sense The gate thrown on earth Believes life the stone which flies That he decides where to his passions strive The lost good sense Is the end of complaint By chance meeting fate with time The ray of light The earth blinds the luck Emotions are wasted The scales slowly turn The moment gives Tongues to stillness darkness light But now i close the door Make sure you're not here
Uncertainty It makes no sense for an explanation I recognize this wouldn't satisfy I ask myself what i want This waiting drives me round the bend Thoughts full of hope stroll around in my mind And wrap around confidence But it's drawing to a close There's no chance to start all over again You never can be sure tha tyou can come back All i have to say is i have to forget I wish this never would have happened And i hope to finish off this way But i'm scared that i will never reach you Now i'm wakeful and protect myself I didn't find truth but how should i know No return and remorse doesn't work I face the facts and arrange my life What else am i supposed to do? You never can be sure tha tyou can come back All i have to say is i have to forget Mono luv Hear the sound of your voice "Everyone's got to make his living" Now time has come No compromise no more forgiving You told me i can fly I tried to and now i lie Deep down 'cause You left me alone The art of love is special, something worth remembering I feel it for you, i love you and i always do When i needed you most, The man i loved, the man i lost Left me alone, when my trust in you Just had grown Don't need to justify Don't need to explain Your words make me cry Always make me rain The art of love is special, something worth remembering I feel it for you, i love you and i always do
Mindless moments part 3 As i read your letters something chokes me You wrote so often, that you love me You wished i never should fall in love again These wishes are all i have But I hang on your wishes and fall Into your maybe That maybe you once come back Live will change and you'll disappear Calm and free she gets further away Violent dreams like and undenied truth Most beautiful days are now denied The veil of time has descended in our love Why is it worn out What do i have without you I tried everything but these tears Are still shed and yours with mine Time to come should be with you No way being a part of you Calm and free she gets further away Violent dreams like and undenied truth

Sweet Toffee
Toffy sweet and tight We sit under my sunblind There's no argues and fight Just straw hats and delight Take a header into the sea 'Come with me' and enjoy The colours red and burning Deep blue and mysterious Alegria in your eyes I offer my love and feel so high Sun burns the sky is bright A walk on air all day and all night Keep your smile, clear the decks Set the sails, leave for a seaside dream I lay back, close my eyes Take a bath that bliss beats everything It's a pleasure to 'be with you' Your're what my heart desires Wish all my days to be So free and so near to you
*** Thanx a lot to Protege for this one ***
