Foreign Spaces
Foreign Spaces is a German music band from Schliersee that plays in the genre of electronic music or synthesizer music.
The beginnings of the band date back to the early 1980s, when the musician Georg Reiter, who was previously in various rock bands active, increasingly devoted to experimenting with synthesizers and thereby also by famous artists of the genre such as Jean Michel Jarre or Tangerine Dream inspire let. In 1983 he founded the band called Foreign Spaces together with the musicians Thomas Geldhauser, Werner Kolb and Serge Dowe. After the band had recorded a few pieces, they split up in this line-up due to various discrepancies. In the next few years the composition of the band changed several times; At times, Reiter and Geldhauser only continued as a duo. Numerous instrumental pieces were created by 1990 , including those for theater, artist exhibitions and advertising videos.
After a four-year break, the Foreign Spaces finally formed a duo of Georg Reiter and Christian Feher. From then on, several pressed CD albums were created, including the first CD Ufo Breakfast from 1995. This brought the band solid notoriety in the electronics scene , also through appearances on the WDR show " Schwimmern ".
Some of the material from the 1980s, which has not yet been officially published, was published in 2003 by the specialist label SynGate on the Spheres CD .
Stylistically, the music of the Foreign Spaces is a melodic "spacey" allusion to the classical Berlin school .
