Geb.el, a native Austrian who now resides in London presents his version of Urban Melancholica. He has long been influenced by Futurism, Jazz, and Soul. These influences are easily identifiable in his music, but this music is also new and exists independently in its own right. At the beginning of the eighties, Geb.el started spinning Soul, Jazz and Hip-Hop. From behind the decks he witnessed the birth of both House and Techno. In these early days, these new musical directions were not always well received. Geb.el however, viewed House and Techno as simply the logical evolution of so-called "Black Music". The Helmut Lang fashion empire began to show interest in Geb.el. Entering the fashion world, Geb.el produced the music for several shows in Paris, and received credits for his work - even in The New York Times.

From A Distant Point Of View) is not an album which is limited to one style, but rather a psychic profile of an individual, who has chosen to show us his happiness (Love from the Sun feat. Dian Sorrell), his past (I'm not in Love feat. Cleveland Watkiss) as well as his entire world-view (Schulfernsehen 3 A New Science) in musical portraits. In this work, deep-headz tunes (The Killer and The Chicken) melt seamlessly together with pure ambience (Raindance and Windscreenwipers) to allow the listener to reach an understanding of Geb.el and his distant point of view.This is Part 6 of the new "Listening Pearls Series", a series with ReReleases of the best and most important albums of the label "Mole Listening Pearls", which were mostly sold out for a long period of time. The album is also available as part of the Listening Pearls Series Box Two.
