ABOUT THE MUSIC: The first two LICHTMOND productions ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Universe of Light’ “Real 3D” Blu-ray format were especially popular with home theatre viewers. Now is the time to showcase the creative writing talents of Giorgio Koppehele and Martin Koppehele and their wives Gabi and Suna. ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY’ is totally unique in the pop music of the 21st century. Its incredible imagery is the icing on the cake. Martin Koppehele says, "We see our music as a magic triangle of electronics, the rock of the 1970s and 1980s and ethno music," This special blend makes ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY’ so outstanding and totally unique.
Martin Koppehele says, "The music of Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream and Alan Parsons strongly influenced us in our youth. Based on this inspiration, we developed our own style. This mixture is the source of our originality." Giorgio Koppehele adds: "Another thing that shapes us is our distinct aesthetic approach. The sounds are just as important as the compositions." This is quickly evident when listening to ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY.’ The mostly epic tracks are kaleidoscopic, a thousand facets of light. Sometimes quiet, sometimes hyper tempos enchant the listener within a delightful daydream that one never wants to leave.
Supported by prominent guest artists such as Midge Ure, I Muvrini, Sky du Mont and Hardy Krueger Jr., ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY’ succeeds as an exotic, other-earthly, sound painting that oscillates like yin and yang between the poles. Giorgio says, "The fact that the core members are two men and two women which plays an important role and is probably one reason for our success. The melodies, which often make up the soul of the music, as well as the lyrics and poems, usually come from our wives. This is a very special blend. Martin's wife Gabi writes the poems and the German lyrics, my wife Suna, writes the melodies and the English lyrics. Sounds, beats, loops, electronics and the ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY’ sound-architecture" are the "masculine" part of this 3D Blu-ray disc. Again the artists Meera Fé (vocals and piano), Thomas E. Killinger (poems and piano), Saskia Philipps (vocals) and Karen Kassulat (vocals) are an important part of ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY.’
‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY’ is an acoustic metamorphosis of changing atmospheres. Reminiscent of the best of Pink Floyd's semi-acoustic ballads LICHTMOND's ‘Wheel of Time’ follows ‘Catching Rainbows’ with a trance-electro-beat. ‘Empires of the Past’ is driven by tribal beats through a thunderstorm to a veritable rock format, beautifully supported by a stunning poem spoken by Sky du Mont. ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY’ soars with the exotic voices, such as the Corsican vocalists I Muvrini of the global world music scene, with is almost galactic anthem. ‘Endless Moments’ jointly composed with Midge Ure and sung by the Ultravox front man. All of the songs are different; each touching in its own way, enigmatic, stimulating, and imaginative and here is what you will experience:

Storyline: The Sessions [Bonus Track] [2014] [1080p] [1.78:1] [11:40] Here we are introduced to Giorgio Koppehele and Martin Koppehele sitting in their studio explaining the concept behind ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY’ “Real 3D” video. They both start to explain what the concept of the video is all about and explain in great detail the scenario outline on what they wanted to achieve in allowing the viewer to experience something totally unique. They also explain each different video concept, staring with ‘Nightflight To Chronos - Part 1’ and slowly go through all the videos explaining the concept of each storyline, so to give you a better understanding on what you view with each “Real 3D” video. They also give great praise about the music artists that were involved with their project and felt much rewarded for their input, and those particular people were of course Midge Ure from Ultravox, Diego Bonati, Javier Sáenz-Messía, plus Hardy Krüger Jr. [German actor]. They talk about the bonus tracls and especially ‘Salvation’ that they were very excited about, especially having the German actor Hardy Krüger Jr. The second bonus track they mention is ‘Gravitational Attraction’ [which does not seem to be on this Blu-ray] and explain is an electronic music conception, meaning all the musical instruments were used on 1980s pop records and they wanted you to experience a lot of fun listening to it. Next we see the actual recording studio where they are working on one of the video tracks with Hardy Krüger Jr., recording the song ‘Salvation,’ and at the same time view the actual video. Next up is a personal interview with Midge Ure talking about his involvement with the video ‘Endless Moments,’ and informs us that he had such a brilliant time and was totally overwhelmed with the finished video. We also get to see the other music video artists Diego Bonati and Javier Sáenz-Messía recording their songs and at the same time view the actual video. Then we move to behind-the-scene of all the people who were involved in producing the whole video concept. All in all this a great insight to all involved in producing the awesome the ‘LICHTMOND 3: DAYS OF ETERNITY’ “Real 3D” video concept.
