Bohren & der Club of Gore is a band founded in 1988 in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany by Thorsten Benning, Morten Gass, Robin Rodenberg and Reiner Henseleit. Originally, members of Bohren started out playing in various hardcore bands such as 7 Inch Boots and Chronical Diarrhoea. In 1992 they produced a crossover of jazz, hardcore, and ambient, which they self described as an “unholy ambient mixture of slow jazz ballads, Black Sabbath doom and down tuned Autopsy sounds”. Henseleit left the band in 1996 and was replaced by Christoph Clöser in 1997, replacing the guitar with a saxophone at the same time.

This is quite something.. Actually reminds me a little of Angelo Baldalamenti's scores for Twin Peaks, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive etc... Cool

I think Midnight Radio sounds a bit like a mixture between Gore Motel and Black Earth, but it's also monotonic like Geisterfaust. It's not linked as closely to any of their records as Sunset Mission is to Black Earth. By the way, there are listenable live shows at the Gore Motel site now.

Is Midnight Radio recommandable? And does it rather sound like Gore Motel than e.g. Sunset Mission or vice versa? Thanks for your answer in advance.
