Album Notes

Pail is Manix S.' Musical proyect. Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz , city where he lives and owns a recording studio (Aktiv-Akt Studios) where he composes and creates his music, which can be defined as Electro Industrial in which we can find various different influences such as techno, EBM breakbeat or ambient.

"Epidemic" is his debut album edited by his very own record company CAUSTIC RECORDS created by Manix S. in 1998 due to the lack of discographic alternatives for this sort of music in our country. Nowadays it's been consolidated as the main Spanish company dedicated to edit and export the very best music created here among the vast variety of styles the company supports: Electro, Industrial, EBM, Dark Folk, Experimental, etc...

In January 99 "Epidemic" is liscensed by the company Dion Fortune/ECR. in Germany The album is distributed in Europe, USA and Canada achieving great success beyond our national borders. Due to this fact Pail is interviewed by the main magazines among the European Industrial Scene even repercuting in Rusia, Ucrania or Rumania where the track "take it out" obtained the 3rd place on the hitlist from Radio Sky in Constanta. Besides, Pail appears in international compilations of companies such as Mindbase, Dion Fortune, Flatline, Dystopian, etc.., sharing place with such important bands as Front Line Assembly, Wumpscut, Suicide Commando, Haujobb, Dive, Biopsy, etc.

"Bei Finsterdem Tagesanbruch" is Pail's second album where four new songs, edited in 12" vinil, appear and where breakbeat, electro, industrial and techno rythms are mixed. The vinil is a 500 units limited edition.

This vinil was going to be the advance to Pail's second full album but due to various reasons (change and remodelation of the studio among them) was never finished, leaving all other songs in a master that might someday be edited.

After moving and enlarging the studio, from now on, Aktiv-Act Studios is starting to generate what will be a new album "Towards Nowhere" which will be edited by Caustic Records, and released in North America by Negative Gain Productions.
