Electro goes symphonic! On the orchestral masterpiece "HEAVENLY SYMPHONY", Solitary Experiments showcase a selection of the popular Melodic-Electro-group's greatest hits in gripping symphonic versions. Solitary Experiments have always been fond of expanding musical horizons and of breaching genre-boundaries. When offered the chance of rearranging a selection of their best tracks to be performed by a full symphony orchestra for the third installment of the popular "Gothic Meets Klassik"-festival, it was like a long-held dream come true. And when performed with the sonic prowess of an orchestra, what were once club-compatible Electro-tunes suddenly unfolded a completely new form of emotional energy which left everyone, including the band, completely flabbergasted. Obsessed by the dream of not letting this once-in-a-lifetime experience fade into oblivion, Solitary Experiments immediately started to set the wheels in motion to make an album version... and few occasions would have been more fitting for making this release a reality than the group's 20th anniversary, hence we now have "HEAVENLY SYMPHONY." Solitary Experiments' most complex recording to date is nothing short of impressive: the orchestral performances of the songs, coupled with Dennis Schober's most intense vocal performance to date, aim straight for the heart and hit with maximum impact. You can believe us when we tell you that you have never truly experienced the songs before hearing this, a true milestone release in the career of one of the most popular German Electro-bands.

The extensive 3CD/DVD-set MEMORANDUM pays homage to one of the most successful German Melodic-Electro-groups. Containing the impressive new symphonic album release “HEAVENLY SYMPHONY”, plus 2 discs packed with rarities and exclusive remixes and the band's first ever live-DVD, this limited box is a must-own, not only for fans of Solitary Experiments.
The Berlin-based band Solitary Experiments has long since managed to secure a place among the top bands of the Electro-scene with a trademark mix of anthemic melodies, solid beats and strategically placed harsher moments and is one of the most popular bands of the Melodic-Electro-sub-genre. To celebrate 20 years of band history, the quartet treats its fans with MEMORANDUM: an extensive set that not only features the brand-new symphonic release “HEAVENLY SYMPHONY”, but also rarities, a load of exclusive content and yet unreleased video footage. CD number 1 “FIRST TAPE R.D.C.E.” is bound to delight any diehard fan: the band's long deleted and ultra-rare debut tape release (which only the really long time fans will probably ever have had the chance of hearing) has been remastered to be released on Compact Disc for the first time, ever. Disc 2 carries the fitting title “BEST OF: REMIXED” and features a selection of the band's most popular tunes, reconstructed and remixed by colleagues and friends, making for a totally new retrospective on the band's career.
The list of remixers is impressive and features some of the scene's biggest names and legendary bands, from Mesh via The Eternal Afflict to In Strict Confidence, to name but a few. Furthermore, the set contains Solitary Experiments' first ever live -DVD, sporting a selection of recordings from different locations and eras in superb picture- and sound quality. To ensure that fans do not need to double-dip, the group is also including their new album-release “HEAVENLY SYMPHONY” in the box as an absolute highlight. Inspired by the gig at the “Gothic Meets Klassik”-festival, eight of the biggest Solitary-Experiments-classics have been rearranged into orchestral mini-symphonies. The result is nothing short of breathtaking and lets well-known hit songs unfurl with a glorious new dimension of emotional prowess. MEMORANDUM is released as a strictly limited 3CD/DVD-set in a lavish book-style box and belongs in any serious collection of melodic electronic music. Solitary Experiments dish up four exquisite platters full of unheard audiovisual delicacies.
