It is a great pleasure and honor for us to release die nmi! He has long been a familiar face to residents of the Fediverse. For years, he has been delighting audiences with his light, bouncy electronic music. Seemingly nonchalantly thrown together off the cuff, effortlessly on point, and every now and then with a pinch of the finest humor. But of course, we all know that this ease has been the result of years of hard work. And now, we finally have the opportunity to enjoy all these little masterpieces bundled together in one album.

This album can be described from at least two perspectives: A kind of downplaying one, and a more cheery one. We should start with downplaying, shall we? This Album is a lazy one, even boring maybe, if you followed die nmi! or his “Herr Irrtum!” persona over the last 5 years. There is almost nothing else than all the tracks he did in that time frame bundled together in one album. Originally planned to be released as an EP, it soon appeared that the track count would be way higher than expected. So it’s an album then. At least some tracks are better mastered now.

But here is the bright side: The phun factor of this album is immense, alone from the nice little disruptions coming from the “lost tape” tracks, seemingly coming from real tapes. Actually there was a lot of effort put into those tape sections, including sampling and embedding analogue glitches from a cassette tape from the artists private collection recorded in 1988. So yes, this is an artificial tape effect, but not created by just using a plugin but with lots of manual fine tuning. Also most of the lost tapes contain material previously unreleased. And on top of all that comes the sheer pleasure of having all the kewl club tracks by die nmi! in one place ready to blast away all your worries!!

More about the album can be found in the provided inlay PDF file, but what can’t be dismissed easily is the greetings part, so here we go with some copy paste action: Get ready for the artists personal greetings

Greetings fly out like sparks in deep space to…

Settolino from the outernational Basspistol collective for believing in me, making me go on stage (totally voluntary of course :) ) in a city full of home brew absinthe in Switzerland and for handling something as phenomenal as Basspistol.

FC Stoffel and of course Doris Mücke from DLIKDH for believing in me as well and allowing me on Stage in Köln and making this release happen on the label “Der Kleine Grüne Würfel” ! Thanks!! A 1000 times.

The Captain of the SS El Faro, better known as “Life Substitute”, for having my voice in one of his tracks (you know, track 13): My first real cooperation in music ever — I just had to turn >32h years old to get this done. The gates for more cooperation are open now (wait for it!).

Stephan from Schall und Stille. I did my first *serious* radio interview ever with you because of

your music, which is so super deep – we both where quite nervous about it, but it turned out so well, looking back :). May this great friendship remain!!

Anja Kreysing: I had the luck to meet you (and amazing parts of your family) in person, and I consider myself so happy having met the only woman in the world that combines Akkordeon with granular synthesis live on stage… You are amazing (!)

Prin Lu or Luka Prin or whatever they call themself right now :) – you are such an inspiring human and musician. Your stage presence is like pure magic!

The Acid December crew (Perseid n all) at least the one from 2022-25 :-) . Never knew I’ve had so much acid in me.

All those people I’ve met in the Fediverse and had meaningful conversations with… First of all Non Saturatio for having that unbelievable calm voice and being an unbelievable nice human being (and I promise, I will finish the track, I promise, you’ve read it all!), AxWax (and all fellow Bonkwavers), Frank Schindelbeck the multi-spectral jazz man, Torsten Torsten for trying to form a plot against NFTs at a show in Berlin with me and for having the best Lieder­macher Tracks in Town, MyLoFy for helping (with patience!) with Ardour, Matjö/DubOnArrival for logo im­prove­ment suggestions, Geigerzähler for following my invitation to play at “Fedi am See” without hestitation, Jayrope for making music with stones and sticks, Ramsey/Revengeday for best coffee, Frau Flux for creating am wonderful weird image themed by my radio show and so many more.

What’s left to say? ENJOY! :)
