Electronic pop music made in Switzerland
"In the wide worlds between synth pop and new wave, Magnetfisch have sort of created an own segment by combining guitars and synthesizers in their own way."

	Contre la Crise A crisis can be for the better, be the motor for indispensable change. But it's also accompanied by hardships and thus can be paralyzing for us, leading to fear. Contre la Crise means "against Crisis" in French. Let's get over with it!	Electro Pop Rock
	Scheebr Garten Song # 2 on the new EP The Chexbres Trilogy	New Wave
	le feu au lac "if you are wondering how "Seventeen Seconds" by The Cure would have sounded if Robert and Co. had decided to make it an electronic piece of art it would have sounded a bit like magnetfisch!!!" Didier Becu, the original sin fanzine	Electronic Pop
	Fruchtkönig Fruchtkönig: first song from the eponym 2001 album	Ambient Electronic Groove
	Ex-On starts with the noise of squeaking steel, continues with dixie/breakbeat rhythm... the song's original name was "black snow"...	Pop
	Rolizel a strange old moody track of ours 8-)	Synth Wave
	rendez-nous silence is rare – nowadays it has almost become fiction "If you were a composer living high in the alps in Switzerland, its not surprising that your music would be ethereal. The music of this elevated group of musicians from Berne certainly could be called heavenly." Wayne Fetherbay	Ambient Space Music
	Fluchtzeug silence is rare – nowadays it has almost become fiction Fluchtzeug. It’s a small world, isn’t it? Here is the list of the numerous percussion instruments used by François Clavel on this song: Dholak (Northern India), Derbouka (Middle-East, north of Africa), Riqq (Orient), Doira (Ouzbekistan, Iran), Udu (Africa), Muyus (China), Gongs (China) "If you were a composer living high in the alps in Switzerland, its not surprising that your music would be ethereal. The music of this elevated group	Euro Wave
	Raumstift (The Web NASA Remix) The Web: "Raumstift" is one of my favourite Magnetfisch-Tracks. Their 2003 Album *Silence Fiction" is an instrumental electronic music highlight - especially if you were a teenager in the 80ies, wearing dark clothes and listening to wave, alternative, synthpop, and maybe a bit of ebm/industrial ;-)	Techno Trance
	Absolut Windig (original version) the original, previously unreleased version of the song, recorded 2004	New Wave
	Fluchtzeug V1 early unreleased Magnetfisch track called "Fluchtzeug V1", 1998 (the track Fluchtzeug on their 2003 album Silence Fiction is a quite different one...)	Ambient break beat
	Magnetfiesch	DreamWave
	Le Connaisseur V1 (first version) Not published on our album "The Early Years 1998-2000", but a very early Magnetfisch song nonetheless: here's a first version of "Le Connaisseur" (a new version appeared later on Fruchtkönig, 2001)	Synth Wave
	der Fensterbaer	Industrial Electronica
	Tunnel Tunnel is probably one of Patrick and Tim’s oldest tracks, later recorded by their first group “Illusion Perdue?” (appeared on their first and last album: “un pied devant l’autre”, 1997)	Industrial Electronica
	Schnee von Gestern dark instrumental trip hop	Trip Hop
	Eine Frage der Atemtechnik Atmospheric instrumental song with Seline's voice and the Delay Lama	Electronic
	spit me out (before I drown) - live on RSR1 played live on RSR1 (Radio Paradiso, Gérard Sutter) "I quickly fell asleep that night... dreamt I was unware of space and time"...	Electronic Pop
	China I dreamt of China last night... passionate, intimate, invisible...	Euro Wave
	SIPCH a blend of disco & synthpop with a funky touch	Pop
	Body on the Left, Soul on the Right (test bounce) This is the synthesizer test bounce of album title track "body on the left, soul on the right". Yeah right, sounds like guitar, but it's Yamaha nonetheless ;-)	Electronic Pop
	Gone staying live (on air)	alternative electronic rock
	poisonous trace	Alternative Pop Rock
	footloose & steady "In the wide worlds between synth pop and new wave, Magnetfisch have sort of created an own segment by combining guitars and synthesizers in their own way. The lead track, “botox”, is simultaneously buoyant and harmonious and accentuates Seline Kunz’s distinctive voice." Jörg David (www.synthiepop.de	Alternative Pop Rock

Chandra Moon	3/9/2011 10:27:44 AM Great tracks - really enjoyed listening. If you make your Youtube videos smaller it wouldn't mess your page up so much - it's really hard to see everything and navigate around as the vids are too wide. Really great music!
