Koolarrow Records proudly announces it's next release, "Sanctuary", Einstürzende Neubauten founding member Alexander Hacke's solo CD, joined by members of The Jesus Lizard, The Germs, Swans among others, for a worldwide release date of May 17, 2005.

"Sanctuary" is the lovechild of his creative affair with some of the most disturbingly fertile minds in the music scene. Inherent in the album's conceptual framework is his postulate that location has an enormous impact on perception; to illustrate this point, Hacke has traveled the globe for the past two years. Armed with knapsack's worth of recording gear,he captured pieces of audio from a variety of musicians in different situations. These sonic "keepsakes" were then filtered, distorted, processed, and re-assembled back home in Berlin in order to build his "sanctuary", and ultimately the 11 tracks that make this CD.


But there is a visual element to this theme as well: accompanying the cd there is also a 16 panel booklet, each panel a photo of the souvenirs he collected in the making of each track. Lastly, the enhanced cd also contains video footage shot during the making of the album, along with interviews with the contributing musicians.
