May 2005
The Peoples Republic of Europe has released a new album. This one is an internet
only release. Why? Well, because it is something different from what we normally
do. When we started out, we were an darkambient outfit. We did however, continue
to make that kind of music when we ventured on the latter harsch industrial
path.
The new album is entitled "Cumulonimbus II [ambient recordings 2003-2005]"
and consists of ambient tracks, loops, noises, drones and stuff we made during
the last 2 years. This does NOT represent a change of style, but this
is something we enjoy making, and in comparison to other bands, we do not
condemn our past. If you click
here, you can download the .rar file which will include the tracks and
the artwork.
Those of you who love our hard grinding industrial stuff: We are working on
new material for a late 2005/early 2006 release filled with hammering pounding
beats.
During the may 1st gig a CDr in an edition of 75 copies was released, with
three new songs from tPROE together with new material from Embolus and Statik
sky. We have a few copies left, and we will send them to people who order
for more than 25 euro's in our online shop.

Ekko? Again? Yes, don't ask how (though certain people will point at DJ
X-X-X), but tPROE will play a special workers day gig at Ekko in Utrecht on
the first of May. That's a sunday allright. We will play with Statik Sky and
Embolus, and it wil start at 16:00, and lasts til 22:00. So time enough, to
get home after the gigs!
Currently we enjoy the music of the Congolese band Konono No1, which could
be described as some sort of African industrial/metalpercussion. Check them
out. Also check the little remix tPROE has made of one of their tracks HERE.

2 - Strength though war
3 - No mans land
4 - Antiglobalist I
5 - The lesser holy war
6 - Riot squad
7 - On the offensive
8 - Teargas
9 - Antiglobalist II
10 - Cold war tactics
11 - Pulling on the boots
12 - Monopoly of violence

to be done. "Monopoly of violence" is a harsh album targetted at
industrial dancefloors around the world.
