Best Of Supermax - A Living
Legend looks back
A
retrospective of the Supermax-catalogue consisting of re-recordings,
re-edits, remixes and previously unreleased material is due
to release this via Universal Music on CD+DVD and Deluxe-Edition
2CD+DVD.
A survey as well as a homage to an individualistic, influential
and visionary artist whose career spans more than three decades.
Supermax to most people is Kurt Hauenstein,
multiinstrumentalist and musical visionary - an artist of Austrian
origin, whose chameleonic work has reached international cult-status,
although the versatility of his creations often left people
astounded, but also enchanted, he achieved a legendary status
and is one of the most successful Austrian artists since the
late 1970ies. His Über-hit "Love Machine" from 1978
took the world in storm, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Kurt Hauenstein has to this day released 15 albums, most of
them being enthusiastically received by critics and audience
all over the world alike. Supermax's complex and characteristic
groove-science has always been a somehow demanding, but in the
end rewarding issue for the dedicated listener. But his complexity
always had chart-appeal: with his former label he got the title
of "Worldwide Best Selling Artist" for more than just
one time. With the new anthology there's something for everyone
- from radically reworking to respectful editing. But let's
hear it from the man himself:
"What ever happens in life and what
it may bring,
don't ever loose your dreams and your fantasy..."
Kurt Hauenstein.
