Flux Records announces the release of Frank Rothkamm's Frank Genius is Star Struck
DELUXE EDITION COMPACT DISC WITH COMPLETE LYRICS AND ACCOMPANYING PRINT CELEBRATES ROTHKAMM'S POPTRONIC MUSIC
LOS ANGELES, 3/3/09 -- As with all of his compositions, Frank Rothkamm made his own version of popular music, drawing from every element of his vast musical knowledge -- without any musical prejudice or genre barriers. For the first time ever, all of Rothkamm's star-studded master recordings will be offered together in one magnificent compact disc -- "Frank Genius is Star Struck"
"Frank Genius is Star Struck" offers the most comprehensive overview of Rothkamm's life in San Francisco almost 20 years ago in the form of a digital cantata -- a vocal composition with musical accompaniment performed entirely by a computer!
The Compact Disc features Rothkamm's entire studio master recordings with references to Nano Music ("Atari"), Nu Skool Mesh-Up ("La Vie"), Old School Klassik ("Vast"), Warp Rock ("Black in the Sky"), Artiest Acid House ("Q"), Not Very Heavy Metal ("Ascending Megablast") and many more. It also includes the rare home recording of ("Elvis") with Rothkamm on the electric organ.
This deluxe edition contains the Compact Disc, 6 panel insert, vinyl sleeve and postcard. All feature Rothkamm's original artwork and design by San Francisco's premier visual communicator, Robert Hold.
Of the Compact Disc, Peter Ziegelmeier, head of the Ceiba fashion & music empire, says, "I think Frank Genius is Star Struck is the perfect title for a collection of Rothkamm's poptronic music because, working with him almost 20 years ago, I know he believes every word in these songs. We shall always treasure those memories."
