following their first two albums 'log_in' and 'access all areas', skorbut presented their third album 'firewall' in 2007. 'firewall' by far is the most sophisticated and danceable skorbut release to date. the duo, consisting of daniel galda (vocals & lyrics) and jörg hüttner (music & programming), have rapidly become an institution in 'made in germany' electronic music. 'firewall' offers 12 powerful electro-songs with industrial influences, which perfect and build upon skorbut‘s own unique sound established with the first two releases. additionally, the '9 lives later' video and several pictures are on the physical cd release as a data track. the video can be watched and downloaded in lower quality for free at the band's and the label's websites. jörg hüttner‘s capabilities in synth programming are often used by synthesizer manufacturers, music software companies and renowned hollywood film composers. his knowledge increases the pulse in movies like 'catwoman', 'the ring 2' and 'batman begins'. his experiences gathered in the film industry can especially be heard in songs like 'de(ad)cibel' or 'valium 2'. tracks like 'antikörper' or '9 lives later' are club hits mixed with endzeit-electro-songs aka 'getting colder' or electronic gems like 'a second of perfection'. worth mentioning is also the collaboration of skorbut and art photographer ansgar noeth and makeup-artist andrea dorn for their photo shoots. ansgar noeth currently is causing quite a sensation with his photo exhibition in berlin and new york. boris black, long-time friend of skorbut, added a song and a remix to the album 'firewall'. thus, an artistically high-quality and aesthetic cd was created both in terms of sound design and it‘s visual appearance and design.
