Mikrolux about the new CD 'Exit' :
"This year, the Frankfurt-based multimedia artist Frank Rückert celebrates a double anniversary! Exactly 20 years ago, with Tribantura he released his very first track „Lack Of Sense“ on Talla2XLCs former label TDI. And this year, his most reknown project üNN can look back on ten years of releases. With „Exit“, Rückert now releases his fifth album. The biggest part of „Exit“ was produced in Southern Spain without direct contact to the outside world. „Exit“ moves far from any borders and far from this world. As the stylistically most varied album by üNN, „Exit“ includes a number of ambient and vocal sound scapes which could not be more colorful and get their experimental and innovative attraction by various musical influences from Techno and Electro over Synthie-Pop up to Industrial and Dark Wave. This way, the Mikrolux artist once again moves far above the average level and, compared with his rather calm last album „Silence“, now uses faster and more groovy sounds. His tracks tell very special stories which are worth listening. The tracks „Love Me“ and „Touch My Soul“ transfer the bright sides of eartly life into audible poetry. The vocal guest appearance of La Gonzesse („Escape The Time“), the smooth highlight of the CD, is followed by tracks like „Lunar Orbit“ and „Asteroid“ which move away from earth further and further. Finally, each end is a new beginning, and the light track „Burning“ is glimmering towards this in relaxed expectance.
Frank Rückert aka üNN about „Exit“:
“Exit“ stands for a (repeated) breakout from stylistically narrow parameters. After doing two remixes for Sabrina Setlur recently, I was wondering about the musical constriction expressed in several reactions to this cooperation. Thus, the superior topic of „Exit“ is change and comeback. It is about trying to leave previous paths and to broaden one's own horizon by going new ways. However, this does not mean to forget where you came from, but to leave something behind and open up to new experiences - like crossing an exit."

frank started to develop a deeper interest in music at the age of 11 or 12, being bored and irritated by the stuff which was emanating from his sister’s bedroom (abba, the sweet, the bay city rollers and all that). "the first time that I heard bands like 'human league', 'kraftwerk' and 'depeche mode' i was fascinated by their electronic sound." as an early 'space invaders' junkie he soon discovered the sound chip in his home computer. a few years later he got his first synthesizer and started to produce own tracks.
after some techno/industrial-releases as 'tribantura' in the early 90s, it was his solo project 'üNN' that definitely put him on the map of electronic music. focusing on ambient sounds, chill out stuff, electro and experimental music he soon gained a great reputation with his trademark 'autobiographical' sound. frank rückert is a musical storyteller who loves to work on his tracks in a spontaneous way. "i’m improvising a lot and often the best songs arise unexpectedly and surprisingly. the songs that are brought to life in those 'precious moments' are definitely the best !".
