Our little bio:
Nothing that makes this world a better place lasts for only three minutes. Nothing of relevance embraces you and abruptedly leaves afterwards. Music does not need to be divided into five minute long chapters, verse-chorus-verse. Music needs room not rules, it needs freedom not boundaries - Long Distance Calling make sure to do exactly that.
When David Jordan (guitar), Janosch Rathmer (drums), Florian Füntmann (guitar), Jan Hoffmann (bass) and Reimut van Bonn (ambience) started rehearsing early 2006 all of them had already been active in several mostly way heavier bands. But they all knew that this time it would be something completely different: No limits, only the will, the wish to let go, to surrender oneself, to not look back.
Now, Long Distance Calling present you the first result of their free flight: "Satellite Bay". Seven tracks clocking up to one hour. Seven times they were born out of small ideas, fragments - samples, cymbal clashes, bass lines, rhythms or basic guitar ideas - seven times these tiny pieces grew into true monsters of post-rock. Sound spaces that fill entire landscapes - sonic moments you can only achieve if you work tirelessly, without making any compromises, by sacrificing yourself. Music that makes that bloody dream jam session of Tool, Dredg, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Isis invalid. Long Distance Calling do not even need words for doing that. The sole lyric on the album was created and performed by Peter Dolving (The Haunted / Bring The War Home) in “Built Without Hands” and it will make you wince like being warned of something really, really big.
It demands: an hour. It gives you: seven journeys around the world.
"Satellite Bay" was produced at Tonmeisterei (Tephra etc.) in Oldenburg and was released on September 21, 2007.

„It’s cold and dark here but very beautiful. Let me rest…”
“Long Distance Calling transfer two moods into sound: The music to the exhausting way up the mountain inside yourself – sad yet relieving with each single step.”
“With “Satellite Bay” Long Distance Calling deliver an album of enormous quality, which you rarely expect to originate from Germany – an impressive trip that should make Pelican and Explosions In The Sky look nervously towards Münster.”
“Satellite Bay” breaths, is as lively as it is spontaneous, but also well thought-out.”
“Satellite Bay” is sad, very sad. And very, very good!”
“THE album for the early autumn days.” 9/10 points
"With its melancholic lyricism “Satellite Bay” reminds one of the immense power that hides in instrumental music, which stories it can tell without tumbling into the danger zone of empty words and pseudo-lyrical facade."
"Refreshingly free of clichées and absolutely rousing…"
hi, danke fürs annehemen und das fantastische konzert letzten samstag nachdem vainstream, war echt das beste konzert des tages! hoffentlich sieht man euch bald mal wieder live! rock on!

joa iwie war der auftritt beim vainstream komisch...bzw. war das drumherum "komisch" *g* bis ich euch in der ecke dieses verwinkelten clubs erst mal gefunden hatte wart ihr schon am ende angelangt ;D naja, ich sag nur: "wir sind alles mannheimer jungs!" :D
einen wunderschönen...!! was für eine geile live band seid ihr denn? auf plate seid ihr ja schon der hammer, aber live...!! respekt! war samstag nach dem vainstream zwar echt kaputt, aber euren gig konnte ich mir nicht entgehen lassen! hoffe ich sehe euch bald live wieder!
First ever official Remnants of Tranquility release today 30.6.08!! Our song 'Traces' part of the Matchbox Recordings compilation CD 'Stay in the Box vol.3'
As reviewed by journalist Dave Chislett "Don’t be fooled by the moniker, acoustic band here! This is intense and dark stuff. Combining the best of dirge-like Alice in Chains inspiration with some menacing acoustic guitar, this is impressive and interesting stuff".
danke auch fürs adden ich find eure musik seeeehr geil, macht weiter so (un einer von euch kommt sogar aus meiner nähe -> mannheim) man sieht sich bestimmt im partyzelt beim vainstream ;)
Voller Euphorie habe ich euer Bulletin gelesen, dass ihr auf Tour geht, zwar "nur" als Support-act aber nichtsdestotrotz war die Enttäuschung groß, dass ihr Hannover ausgelassen habt... Würde mich freuen Euch mal live zu sehen! Micha
Ganz dicken Glückwunsch zu den Gigs mit Dredg! Dazu noch Envy und das Vainstream (wo ich definitiv bei euch vor der Bühne sein werde) ... Nicht schlecht!
