Klinik - Orion

from: "Akhet" (2003)

Pioneer Belgian EBM/Industrial band. Consisted of Marc Verhaegen and Dirk Ivens, original line-up also included Erik Van Wonterghem. Dirk Ivens left in 1990 to form Dive. Klinik continued in the solo person of Marc Verhaegen.
In December 2003, the duo reunited for a one-shot celebrative performance at the BIM Festival in Belgium. The huge success and overwhelming requests from fans led to the appearance of The Klinik in the original line up at the Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig the following year. Other festival appearances followed.

In 2009, The Klinik are back as a full time band, with a new studio work to be released in the future. Because of continuing health problems of Marc Verhaegen, it's not sure that he can join The Klinik live on stage in the near future. Therefore, he will concentrate on creating music in his homestudio.

The Klinik members anno 2009 are Dirk Ivens (Voice/Lyrics), Marc Verhaegen (Studio Music) and Peter Mastbooms (Live Sounds and Video Images).

review @ discogs
"When thinking about space music two major schools come to mind. The first and more traditional one whisks you away into the stars where you visit colourful nebulae, mysterious ringworlds and the darkest of dark black holes. You risk encountering alien civilizations and discover the mysteries of chakra or the third eye.

The other school though, focuses on science and mathematics. It doesn't play around with romanticism too much but instead focuses on capturing the essence of the living, breathing universe. The sounds of near eternal fusion reactions inside the mysterious gaseous giants, the clicks and hums of life's building blocks or the growing pains of a new star being born.

Akhet falls decidedly into this second category, and does a mighty fine job of mesmerizing you through its slowly developing drones. It avoids the pitfalls of experimental quirks and sticks with blissful yet minimal soundscapes. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
