 After the tracks "Melissa" and
"I am the dark" let tremble the dancefloors since June this year and
press as well as audience has been brought to the riddle around its doer, the
longplayer "Music for the lost" will come out on the 25th of October
2004!
And that's meant like the title promises: this album is in each
an every relation unorthodox and uncomfortable and nothing for a wide mass with
soft rinsed ears! Neither one can attach this mood, these musical turns and
this arrangement to a known genre, nor such a production , that culminates in
that multiple electronically and analogy alienated voice was ever heard before!
And the latter is of great importance, yet, in contrary to well-worn and usual
sound, in which the leadvocals take in a narrative roll, the voice in
SNAKESKIN takes part of musical mesh and is to be understood as an
organic and emotional instrument, similarly to the screams, that a threatening,
a fighting or a dying animal is yelling out to the world.
 Further "Music for the lost" is featuring a emormous
potential of creative versatility. So the musical range stretches from the
ultra hard "Symphony of pain" over the groovy "Cinderella" to the
threatening "Furious stars" and the melancholy "Come as you are",
crowned by film-music mature "Longgonelost"! Real fireworks of profound
emotions, inexorable aggression and furious enjoyed playing are fired off on
"Music for the lost"! And all in a skilled masterly production, whose
recordings occurred in the Swiss "Studio au Parc" in the beginning of this
year.
Yet also the artwork in the noble Digipak knows to enthuse how it
underlines in a true sense of style the love for each detail and visualise
excellent the entire, that the project SNAKESKIN drifts!
 Equipped by three Bonustracks, ("Melissa" remixed by
KiEw, "I am the dark" remixed by Combichrist and the until now
unpublished Clubmix from "Cinderella") "Music for the lost"
stands out of many releases, that often today are thrown unkindly on the
market. So one senses, hears and sees an immense care all around this album,
and yet conceals behind in such a way unusually dark and self-willed unpopular
music that follows faithfully to that symbol, that again curves to this almost
animal voice of SNAKESKIN: If you want to reach the source, you must
swim against the stream!
And this motto follows already another band since
many years, that is well known for another music style, but has one thing in
common with SNAKESKIN: its composer, arranger, singer and producer Tilo
Wolff!
