At the E-Live Festival 2011 in the Dutch city of Oirschot (near Eindhoven), the absolute top act was the new formation Loom - This was mainly due to the line-up of the band, which consists of Johannes Schmoelling, Jerome Froese and Robert Waters - The frst two should be known to all electronic fans, as they were members of the cult formation Tangerine Dream for several years

In spring 2012, the recording of this unique concert was released on a double CD. Even if you don't see the protagonists, you can guess which magical moment it was when Johannes Schmoelling played the opening track "Palace Of Dreams" solo on a grand piano. He manages to give this wonderful piece a certain intimacy and also intensity and shows quite clearly what infuence he had on the music of Tangerine Dream. After this haunting opener, at the beginning of "Modulation Agents", synth pads foat through the room, only to give way to a driving sequencer rhythm shortly after.It is impressive how Schmoelling, Froese and Waters manage to create such an incredible, dense atmosphere.

Friends of good electronic music and fans of German electronic pioneers Tangerine Dream can't avoid this release. You can feel in almost every sound that a magical moment was recorded and three absolute experts, frst and foremost Johannes Schmoelling were at work. It is not without reason that the performance in the Netherlands ensured that Loom were among the nominees in the category "Best International Act" at the Schallwelle Award 2011.
