Alternative Brontës

1. Rukkanor (aka Robert Marciniak) latest album: Despartica (Face Two) puts into electronic music a poem by Emily Brontë: Past Present Future. The album is described like this on Rage in Eden Records:

The mixture of styles and musical ages. Echoes of 70's electronic, new romantic of 80's (OMD, Numan, Heaven 17, Visage). A bit of industrial, a pinch of EBM, a touch of synth-pop. Second part of the specific interpretation of 19th and 20th Century poetry. This time in more gothic and electromantic "musical sauce". Achtung! No martial nor neo-folk songs. A very last album of Rukkanor. 11 hits :-), 44 minutes, CD in digipack designed by Michal Karcz. "...Only by breaking with what is already achieved, man can create the space for new events."

The poem by Emily Brontë is the last track of the record. A review in Italian can be read on Darkroom Magazine.
2. On the latest album of the Birmingham based musician Avrocam Zweimal (according to his myspace page, alternative, concret music, minimalist) Against the Dying of the Light there is a track with the title: Ultra Bronte. Why? We don't really know.
