They grew up in the 4th quarter of the 20th century -- an age where the rapid development of technology made the power of home computing available to everyone. After some heavy and finally failed efforts to get rich by developing and selling the soundtracker-like music software 'Deluxe Mjuzakk Zerbastel Kit', they simply decided to become popstars. Cause, as these friendly boys next door always say: »In this business, it is nearly impossible that the industy would steamroll us one month after we began a new project, as even Sony does not seem to have any giant farms where they breed their own popstars until now (although we sometimes hesitate if we see Whitney Houston)«. Using the above mentationed 'Deluxe Mjuzakk Zerbastel Kit' and numerous other devices they bought from pocket money, Bodenstandig 2000 now create the definite sound for the generation that was born next to flickering screens. The outstanding german lyrics, subtle poems telling from their lives as cablefreaks and computer kids, are of such explosiveness, that only the the brave british label Rephlex Records was able to publish the songs. (German labels for electronic music only publish english lyrics, for security reasons). Although they produce extremly cheap and street credible, Bodenstandig 2000 stand for maximum commerciality and first class sales figures. Every tune on the debut album 'Maxi German Rave Blast Hits 3' is a garantueed hit: on the dancefloor as much as in the thoughtfull moments of your life. So please buy their first Album 'Maxi German Rave Blast Hits 3', out now on Rephlex records. Thanks in advance. Bernhard Kirsch, the older member of Bodenstandig 2000, is the first decent musician after Boney M. coming from the Saarland. He was the first boy in class who soldered a sound device for the commodore PET. Later, after failing in getting rich with 'Deluxe Mjuzakk Zerbastel Kit', he started collecting arcade games and became a popstar due to the inspiration. Like Dragan, he always wanted to be popstar AND scientist, so he started to develop digital assistents at the 'german research institute for artificial intelligence', DFKI, located in Saarbruecken. Dragan Espenschied got a unix terminal from his dad aged 12. He learned to play recorder and home organ, but soon moved over to hi-tech instruments by Atari and Commodore for making music. After trying out the 'Deluxe Mjuzakk Zerbastel Kit', he phoned up Bernhard and asked if they maybe should become popstars together. In his spare time, he started a career as a wild-eyed scientist at Fraunhofer research Institute Stuttgart and develops 3D-User-Interfaces in the laboratory for immersive interactive virtual reality. +++ Press Release Bodenstandig 2000 +++ STOP +++ Maxi German Rave Blast Hits 3 +++ STOP +++ Rephlex CAT 068 CD/LP +++ STOP +++ EFA 51768 +++ Haa-Yeeh, it's fuckin amazin +++ STOP +++ --- Der <%braus http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/translate?lp=en_de&urltext=http://www.bodenstaendig.de/2000/print.pl?datei=/deutsch/presse/press-release.txt>automatische Uebersetzungsdienst 'Babelfish' uebertraegt diesen Text kostenneutral ins Deutsche.
