A tour which walked them from L.A. to Berlin while passing by England where Thomas Fanger and Mario Schonwalder have dazzled many ears on an EM religiously listened by a public taken in hostage by rhythms and ambiences which flow beneath some organic panoramas of screens and walls skilfully brushed by psychedelic lavas. Apart from music and the visual effects, the very penetrating video views offer us a small lesson on the electronic art with closes-ups which reveal secrets and which satisfy all the curiosity of a greenhorn such as I on the functioning of synths and sequencers.
