With a strong and productive career on the electronic scene
together, long-time Belgian friends and partners in synthetic
crime, Passenger A and Passenger S, decided to take on a new
challenge and create another conceptual band project focusing on
the daily routine of transportation and commuting to work.
METROLAND was born.

Emerging from an uncontrollable burning passion for vintage
keyboards, and acknowledging inspiration from acts like KOMPUTER,
I START COUNTING and the unmatchable technological pioneers,
KRAFTWERK, METROLAND carry us on an electronic journey animated
by authentic warm sequences, melodic synthetic layers and robotic
vocals, the whole project spiced up by analogue drum machines.

Imagine blending the best ingredients of many decades of
electronic music into an all new sonic world! From T.F.L.'s
dreamy piano riff to the wobbly acid-like "M-E-T-R-O" through the
sinister sequences of the title track "Mind The Gap", it is
obvious that METROLAND will guide your senses on a sound-driven
ride through the buzzing traffic or overcrowded vehicles, without
limitations. And if METROLAND do not hesitate, openly revealing
their influences, they also dare to push back the limits of the
expected musical frame! This way, if the majestic melodic track
"Enjoying the View" can be heard as a true ode to KRAFTWERK,
METROLAND do not hesitate in crossing the line by inserting
heavier-edged bass sequences in up-tempo tracks such as "Theme
for Metroland". They will also invite the wittiness of acts like
KOMPUTER in "It's More Fun to Commute" and "The Passenger" or
even add nice hints of their homeland ancestors TELEX on "Moscow
Main"...

"Mind the Gap" is more than just another music album of thirteen
songs. Instead, this album houses a complete package of
conceptual creativity. Music and vision neatly melt into each
other around one central theme: The Underground. Whatever your
usual commute may be, just close your eyes and let the METROLAND
subway line plunge you into the sound of the underground, giving
an all new dimension to these anecdotal trivial details of your
daily routine which become glorified once taken under the loop of
this brilliant Belgian synthesizer duo. It's simply more fun to
commute.

The limited deluxe box edition of the album offers you an
exclusive VIP audio pass to enjoy the sonic treasures hidden in
Zone 2 of the "Mind the Gap" album, reinterpreted by prestigious
electronic artists such as KOMPUTER, FRANCK KARTELL, KEEN K,
NOeVOe, DARANK, CELLULOIDE, STERNREKORDER, SOPHIE WATKINS etc.
