A New Face In Hell

date: 23 July 1998

Early 1998 we felt the need to do something different. Attempting to break the golden tekno rules, we gathered some crappy equipment and began sampling tiny bits of Charlies old record collection. Substance abuse made it difficult to properly connect the wires, but we managed to record a couple of C60 ferro cassettes eventually.  Some months later we selected the better parts to compile our conceptual cassette album. The only  criterium was that it had to  sound good enough on the car stereo. Copies were sent to our former tekno heroes all over the world (anonymously, though). More copies were accidentally left behind at our friends places, and record shops.

Playing live as Nimoy instead (not Unit Moebius, because the band had officially ceased to exist). Selling unlabeled audio cassettes at techno parties was a  common thing to do in the nineties. I had bought an ancient cassette copy machine to be able to deliver on demand. It took 3 minutes to complete a C60 copy, both sides at once. Ferro tapes survived the copy process more often, but sounded like mud through fog. Exactly enough tapes were sold to make up for train fares, beers and the price of the tape machine.

KK Records

date: 1 January 1996

Here’s an official KK records promo flyer of Unit Moebius (‘the band’), somewhere around 1996. The compilation album ‘Status’ was released, followed by another compilation album “Work’ in 1997. Joining KK records had been a poverty driven decision and a predictable mistake: KK records promised lots but did not care for it’s artists.  Not willing to deliver an obligatory 3rd album, it seemed like a proper moment to end the Band.
