Nineteen Eighty Something project

2 Whom It May Concern. The first song from Munich Syndrome's Nineteen Eighty Something project, available exclusively from Munich Syndrome's Bandcamp page
Munich Syndrome: 2 Whom It May Concern, the first release from the Nineteen Eighty Something project

The first song from Munich Syndrome’s Nineteen Eighty Something project: 2 Who It May Concern, an extended mix, radio edit,fourth generation Demo, the Sax Version from Sensual Ambience, and the more electronic 2 Whom, form Electronic Ecstasy. One of the very first complete songs I ever wrote back in the eighties. using the original arrangements and some elements from the original demo recordings, this is a completely new version, and the first effort, since the eighties forgoing the vocoder. Written during a time of youth, naivete, optimism, drama, and the feelings that most anything might be possible.

2 Whom It May Concern Track Listing:
1: 2 Whom It May Concern (Extended Mix) 06:28
2. 2 Whom It May Concern (Radio Edit) 04:02
3. 2 Whom It May Concern (Dem0) 03:57
4. To Whom It May Concern (Sensual Ambience Mix) 04:59
5. 2 Whom (Electronic Ecstasy Mix) 04:15

Written in the Halcyon days of the burgeoning synth pop / post-punk movement. Electronic duos Soft Cell, Blancmange, OMD, the Pet Shop Boys and many others opened a door to creativity and freedom.

It all started with a Korg Poly 6, then a Sequential Circuits 6-Track and Drum Tracks were added. Soon came a DX-7, a four-track PortaStudio, and we were off to the races.

The original demos were discovered last year during the pandemic, and the Nineteen Eighty Something project will be bringing some of these earliest efforts to life and light.

“Senses Thrilled”, Projekt Ich aka Ulf Müller collaborating with David B. Roundsley of Munich Syndrome

With ”Senses Thrilled“, Projekt Ich aka Ulf Müller is going to release the seventh single from the forthcoming second studio album which will be released via Echozone in autumn / winter 2021.

Following the successful debut album “By Train Through Countries” (2019), Ulf took a short creative break before getting back to work again. He produced several demo songs to continue the debut album’s proven concept of cooperating with various talented singers from all over the world.

This time, Ulf was able to get the vocal support of David B Roundsley from the electro pop project Munich Syndrome from California / USA. David wrote the lyrics as well as the vocal melody of “Senses Thrilled”. Using outstanding vocoder vocals, he enforces the song’s socio-critical message of antagonistic sensory overload in the digital age and the possibility to experience decadent luxury in all kinds of shapes, or to block out one’s own reality – in part, above average or completely. Is it the rush that wins out? Or does one remain true to oneself in the here and now?

Senses Thrilled” is catchy, magical, but also fundamental. Alternative synthpop with a touch of elegance.

Senses Thrilled” features the original track, a radio edition of the original, seven intense remixes by bands and artists like Analogue-X (DE), Cyborgdrive (ES), Mind Code (DE), Druggedmoon (ZA), Morbid Echo (DE), U.M. Fiedel (DE) and Sudden Creation (UK) as well as two instrumental remix versions by U.M. Fiedel and Analogue-X plus the original’s instrumental.

A lyric video of the song will be released at the same time.

Markus Kühnel from Noctural Studios designed the front cover as well as all further artwork for the single release. Ulf Müller was responsible for the mastering.

Release: 2021-04-30
Composed by Ulf Müller / Projekt Ich

Bad Blood – A Life Without Consequence book & album

My name is David B. Roundsley and “Bad Blood – A Life Without  Consequence” (Book and Album) is my memoir about the search for my birth parents and my  DNA origins. I am a musician (writing and recording as Munich Syndrome  since the mid-80’s), graphics and multimedia designer and an adoptee.  This book lays out and details the unexpected search for my DNA origins  and brings to light the far-reaching consequences of poor judgments and  bad decisions.

The story reads on many levels: true-crime, adventure, mystery and in some  respects a how-to for anyone sincerely interested in discovering the  truth about their DNA origins and past. Covering many decades and many lives, the book is a documentation of my search and the many families that were affected.

Bad Blood – the album

I am also a musician, writing and recording under the name Munich  Syndrome since the mid-80’s. While this is my first book, the  accompanying soundtrack / curated listening will be my 11th album.

The genesis of the Bad Blood album was to initially do a song for the book and Kickstarter project (“Bad Blood, the Ballad of a Bad Man”), but evolved into a soundtrack / curated listening experience to accompany the book.

The 16-track album of  dreamy electronica mixed with acoustic instruments is cinematic,  atmospheric, dreamy, mysterious and an aural companion to the book.
