The battleship island is a tiny rock on the coast of Nagasaki, which at its peak time was home to over 5000 people who mined coal under the sea. Once the place with the highest population density on earth, today the island is an abandoned and rotting memorial to human insanity. The pictures of this unique place are immediately reminiscent of the apocalyptic “End of Times” scenarios of many American and Japanese science fiction movies of the 1980s. Disenchanted heroines and heroes fighting hopeless battles against overpowering enemies in worlds that are devoid of all humanity. This album is their soundtrack…

Best known for his Industrial-inspired Electro cuts, on his debut album Dr. Schmidt takes the chance to exploit all his influences to create a unique journey through BreakBeat, Electro, Techno, Industrial, and Electronic Listening music. Eleven original tracks rounded of by an outstanding remix from Cozmo D, member of the legendary New York Elctro/HipHop band Newcleus.
