Opera Electronica

Description
DATA was an electronic music group created by GEORG KAJANUS (ELECTRON, SAILOR, NOIR) in the late ’70s after the breakup of Sailor. Georg decided to experiment with electronic music and formed DATA with vocalists Frankie and Phil Boulter.

One reviewer aptly said “Blending Italo-disc, Giorgio Moroder, ABBA and telex influences, DATA befriended synthetic experimentation with melodic pop sensibility to great effect”.

The classically orientated title track of DATA’s first album released in 1981 was used as the theme music to the film “Towers Of Babel” which was nominated for a BAFTA award in 1982 and won the Silver Hugo Award for best short film at The Chicago International Film Festival the same year.

Georg has digitally remastered the original album adding two bonus tracks.

2-Time

Description
GEORG KAJANUS is a Norwegian composer, singer/songwriter and lyricist best known for writing the hits “Glass Of Champagne” and “Girls Girls Girls” for his band SAILOR. After the break-up of Sailor, Georg came up with the idea of forming a group that would use events as lyrical source, which he then decided to call DATA. Added to that he was dying to work with female vocalists for a change.

Having released their debut album “Opera Electronica” in 1981 to great acclaim the band went back in the studio for the follow up and “2-Time” was released in 1983.

Georg has digitally remastered the album and added as bonus tracks “Living Inside Me” (Razormaid mix), which was very popular in the 80’s club scene in USA, and a 2017 remix of “Romy Haag” by legendary Dutch remixer/producer MATT POP.
