Shamall (''Shamal'', which loosely translates as "hot desert wind") features music which is a fusion of progressive rock, electronic, rock, pop, and classical. The project was founded by the German musician and producer Norbert Krueler in 1986. ==History== At the beginning of the seventies Norbert Krueler used simple radio tubes, a microphone and a regular acoustic guitar to create new effect sounds. A local concert promoter became aware of the young artist and enables him to support many acts of popular German Krautrock bands like Grobschnitt, King Pin Meh, Birth Control and Kraan.〔(music circus magazine by Stephan Schelle - Interview with Norbert Krueler )〕 As music clubs boomed at the same time, Norbert swapped the live stage for a DJ stand for financial reasons. At the end of 1984 Norbert started to make his own music again. He availed himself of the technical progress and added rhythmic experimental music compositions to a lasershow for his club audience. These compositions were available only for his club audience and never released to the public.〔(Portrait Shamall German radioshow )〕 Finally a record company became aware of Norbert's work. But his long, experimental tracks were not suited for airplay, so Norbert had to add vocals and shorten his tracks for commercial reasons. With the help of the musicians Michael Jaspers and Detlef Reder Norbert finished under the pseudonym ''Shamall'' the debut single ''My dream'' in 1986. The music style was Italo disco and ''my dream'' reached rank 9 in the ''German DJ Top 40 charts''.〔http://swisscharts.com/showitem.asp?key=126397&cat=s〕 Shortly after Michael Jaspers left the project. Norbert Krueler and Detlef Reder produced the second single ''feeling like a stranger'' in 1987 with similar success.〔(Swiss Charts )〕 Two years later Detlef Reder left Shamall. Since then Shamall is a ''virtual band project'' with different musicians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shamall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
