about

Trailer video: youtu.be/UB2NFr_THM4

30 years ago, in 1992, Michael Brückner started on his journey as an electronic musician.

10 years ago, in 2012, he saw his first proper label release - which was his 100th album at the same time:
"100 Million Miles Under The Stars" on SynGate.

10 years ago, in 2012, he also saw my second label release:
"Eleventh Sun", which was the first ever release on SynGate's sublable "Luna" (for which he had created the logo...).

To celebrate these anniversaries, both albums are now (September 2022) being re-released in very special editions - or new versions, rather:

Each track has been remixed, reworked and re-imagined by another brilliant artist - all of them well respected and highly influential members of the vast electronic music community.

credits

released September 23, 2022

Many (MANY!) thanks for their wonderful contributions to this new, reformed version of "100 Million Miles Under The Stars" to:

Dr. Dave Bessell, The Brückendorf Corporation, Johan Tronestam, Jörg Schaaf, Esteban Menash, Ami Hassinen and Hollan Holmes (in order of appearance).

And extra thanks to Kilian Schloemp of SynGate for his friendship and great support all through these years - and also on this project in particular! Without him, it never would have happened!

In 2001 the band was expanded with a third member, Joni Virtanen.

Hollan Holmes is an acclaimed electronic synthesist, electronic composer and painter. Already musically active as a young boy, he joined his first rock band at age 18 and began writing his own music at age 20.

Holmes initially was influenced by Pink Floyd, Rush, Journey, The Cars and R.E.O. Speedwagon. Around 1984, he was introduced to Tangerine Dream and some years later discovered the work of Steve Roach, Richard Burmer, and Robert Rich.
He explains that Music is an escape for him and a sanctuary - a deeply personal experience that brings him joy to share with anyone who wishes to listen...

Hollan Holmes has released eight albums of dynamic sequencer-driven synthesizer explorations, the most recent ones on the renowned label Spotted Peccary.
