It has been six years since SONAR's last album, a time spent working on different projects and world wide touring for Dirk Ivens and Eric Van Wonterghem. Since 1996 they have thoroughly explored the dark corners of rhythmic industrial whilst bringing their own unique ingredients to the mix - with 'Cut Us Up' the Belgian project secure its position among the sovereigns of this genre. The classic propulsive beats are still the driving force on most tracks, while sonar fill the space in and around the drum hits with scraping noise chords, disturbing sampled voices and throbbing sub-basses. Combative, violent bursts of industrial uproar and rhythmic scalpels refined with intelligent sequencing result in massive blocks of monolithic sound, each one with noise as a basic ingredient, each one performed in a different way. This album marks a raw, overpowering tour de force - an overwhelming, visceral, and relentless rhythmic onslaught created in the dark wastes of the concrete jungle.

The synthpop band Ultravox was founded in 1974 by singer John Foxx, then under the name Tiger Lily. In 1976 the name was changed to Ultravox and the on the punk-style based electronic music seemed exactly to be what many where waiting for. After John Foxx was replaced as singer by Midge Ure, in the early '80s, They scored a massive number one hit with 'Vienna', only to do this once again soon after with the song "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes '. In 1987, the band, however - thanks to the well-known ‘musical differences’ – split-up. In 1993, they reformed with a new line-up for a short and not so successful second life. Short, because only three years later they disappear again from the scene. Since 2008, Ultravox surfaced again (with singer Midge Ure) and since the 'Reunion Tour” is rolling well bringing them on stage at the ‘Lokerese Feesten’ Festival in 2009. To prove that they are back and serious, their first new album since 28 (!) years "Brilliant" was released on May 28^th .
So on Thursday, October 11^th you can expect a nice mix of new songs and a whole lot of classics!
