Magazine reviews
InfluencesThe bandmembers used to go to parties in the punk scene in Rotterdam. But when eventually taking the instruments themselves, there was never punk coming out. What you are hearing on the CD is an evolved version. They grew as musicians, but the impact and intention of the music stayed the same.

IMPORTANT: This MySpace is NOT maintained by Season Of Mist Records or any members of the band. It's primary purpose is to promote them!

Asrai's roots lay in the 1980's. Several of its members played in various punk and new-wave bands. At that time their music already had a melancholic dark side. Asrai was formed in 1988 and very quickly obtained an excellent reputation thanks to radio sessions and their gigs.

Asrai released several demo-tapes from 1989 to 1994 ("the Blue tape","So clear that you couldn't tell where the water ended and the air began", "Love is a Lie","Live in a package"). Finally in 1997 their debut CD, "As Voices Speak", This cd was noticed and signed to the label Poison Ivy. On this label a german release of As voices speak was issued.

From 1997 Asrai took time to perfect their sound and to find the right line-up. The band stood tall through this difficult period. Their perseverance was rooted in a sincere love for music.

In the meantime, contracted by Transmission Records, Asrai recorded their second CD "Touch in the Dark". Roman Schoensee produced this cd while Sascha Paeth, the best guy for mixing Metal and Rock, made the finishing touch. The CD was recorded in both Holland (Excess Studio) and Germany (Beautiful Lake Studio).

The result is an album full of hot-blooded rock wandering through the twilight zone between Gothic Rock and Metal. Let yourself get carried away by their music and the exeptional and intense singing of Margriet.

Fall into the depth of your darkest and intense emotions.

The release date for the album "Touch in the Dark" is may 26 th 2004. It will be released in most European countries as well as in Asia and North and South America.

The single "Pale Light" was released may 6 th The video-clip made for their single "Pale Light"was made by the versatile and talented duo Marcel de Jong and Jelle Swetter .

Their second single "In front of me"from the album "Touch in the Dark" was released September 23 th. And again the videoclip was made by Marcel de Jong and Jelle Swetter and Maud Mulder.

Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel
1e druk uitverkocht – 2e herziene druk eind oktober verwacht

Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel is een boek dat in slechts 4,5 maand volledig is uitverkocht. De tweede druk van het boek ligt inmiddels bij de drukker en wordt eind oktober verwacht. Wie tussen nu en 25 oktober het boek online besteld, maakt dus in feite een reservering voor een exemplaar van de 2e druk. En dat belonen we graag! Wie vóór 25 oktober online besteld, betaalt geen verzendkosten.

Angry face

Revu: '…. aanstekelijk historische werk…. '
Volkskrant: '… een prima excursiereader, maar ook een reisgids om zelfstandig mee door muziekstad Berlijn te lopen.'
Dagblad van het Noorden: Jonker omzeilt de valkuil van betweterigheid en waakt voor een te gedetailleerd informatiebombardement. Daardoor leest haar boek als een vlotte, alternatieve resiids, ...'
FileUnder.nl: 'Een must voor zowel muziekliefhebbers als politiek geïnteresseerden.'
LiveXS: 'Voor iedereen die ooit in Berlijn is geweest, er nog naar toe wil of gewoon precies wil weten hoe Berlijn is geworden tot wat het is, lees dit.'
CuttingEdge.be: 'Al weet je best veel van de Duitse geschiedenis, zo aangenaam compact, met een rode draad, kom je zelden tegen.'

Inmiddels zijn 200 boeken verkocht en de pers is positief over Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel.

Duits.de:
‘Ik vind dat Jonker … die klus heel goed geklaard heeft.’
‘Het boek is over de gehele linie - algemene geschiedenis en muziekgeschiedenis - toegankelijk geschreven en bevat talrijke anekdotes.’
‘Alles wat langs moet komen komt dan ook langs: de jazzgekte van de jaren '20, de Schlagers van de jaren '30 en '40, Rock'n Roll, Punk, Techno - alles.’


Festivalinfo.nl:
'... geeft het boek een zeer goed en uitgebreid beeld van de muziekcultuur in Berlijn.'

FONK:
'Al met al is het werkje een leuke alternatieve reisgids voor wie binnenkort naar de Duitse hoofdstad gaat. Kort, krachtig en vlot opgepend.'

Trajectum:
'... is vooral voor Berlijn- én muziekfans een must voor in de trein richting Berlin Hauptbahnhof (waar je na het lezen van de eerste pagina's meteen op wilt stappen).'

Het boek is t/m 31 juli met korting online te bestellen voor EUR 14,-. Daarna geldt de normale winkelprijs van EUR 15,95. En ook in de winkels gaat het hard. Velvet Music moest al bij bestellen, nadat ze uitverkocht waren. Bestel jouw exemplaar nu!
