"The second volume of Freestyle Candies is compiled by Roman Flugel and Jorn Elling Wuttke of Alter Ego. The audio material is accompanied by a DVD which includes videos of all tracks made by students of the Hochschule fur Gestaltung in Offenbach am Main under the direction of Professor Heiner Blum. The beautiful artwork and packaging is in reference to the long deleted first volume and was designed by Domingo Molina Cortes who is also one of the featured video artists. It's a strictly limited edition celebrating the 100th Klang Elektronik release. Freestyle Candies II documents the status quo of independently produced music and its visualisation through video clips. The added value, which DVDs clearly convey, is the quality. Firstly, that of the music -- the creme de la creme of the empire of sound -- secondly, of course, the quality of the clips themselves which come from a number of young video artists of the Offenbach Academy of Art. Be it ironic images or self-irony of the makers, sensitive narration or diary-like stories, comic strips or sophisticatedly generated technical forms and patterns -- the clips seem to summarise what has being going on in this genre and its sub-genres in the last ten years. So compact and entertaining, so clear-cut and dubious, there'll never be anything like it ever again." Artists: Donna Regina, Farben, Lucien N. Luciano, Smith N Hack, Slop Slop, Rework, Bergheim 34, Alter Ego, Closer Musik, Electronicat, Eight Miles High, Denki Groove, Sikora.
