Spawned in 1984 by German-born Sascha Konietzko, KMFDM pioneered the
crossover between machines and musicians with their signature
"Ultra-Heavy Beat" sound. Being signed in the late 80's by Chicago's WAX TRAX! Records and rapidly
becoming a mainstay of the American industrial scene, KMFDM have
evolved through the years with constant experimentation, frequent
album releases and touring; continually redefining themselves with
each new release. In the latter part of the 90's, Konietzko's
revolving door policy of occasionally inviting uniquely skilled
musicians to collaborate with him in/as KMFDM, brought
multi-instrumentalist, producer, remixer Tim Skold (Marilyn Manson,
Skold, Shotgun Messiah) into the KMFDM fold.
After collaborating on the track 'Anarchy' from the 1997 KMFDM album
Symbols Skold stayed with
KMFDM, including the self-titled side-project MDFMK on
Universal/Republic, up until joining Marilyn Manson in 2001. During
this time, it seems Skold and Konietzko established a working
relationship that doesn't require proximity to yield results. Back
together as SKOLD vs KMFDM, their latest collaboration was produced
entirely in a 'virtual' environment, with both collaborators holed
up in their respective studios in Los Angeles
and Hamburg,
Germany. Skold and Konietzko
pushed their recording and communication technology to the limits
and have produced a stunning new record without ever stepping into
the same room with each other.
“Love Is Like” is one of their
brand new recordings and will be utilized in a Season 6 episode of
NCIS in 2009.
The track is currently available only on
NCIS: The Official TV
Soundtrack.
