1. In 1997 Daniel Myer (haujobb, hexer, clear vision etc.) and Andreas Meyer (Forma Tadre) released "-273°C", the first NEWT album. Inspired by electronica and drum'n'bass artists such as Aphex Twin, Photek and Autechre. NEWT was released by Quantum Loop Recordings in the USA. Gradually, NEWT evolved into a more cinematic and atmospheric project: Cold, desolate and harsh sounds leading to abstract, "hyper-kinetic electronica" producing "forbiddingly dark auralscapes of the strangest sort".
