Behind the Organic House / Downtempo : Release Notes

Originally released in 2000, Four Ears second album „Love Is Faster Than Light returns in 2026, remastered and reintroduced for a new generation of listeners ready to rediscover its forward-thinking spirit. Produced and mixed entirely in the bands own studio, this album captures Four Ears at a pivotal moment of sound exploration, freely crossing boundaries between electronica, drum and bass, and jazz. Beats collide with improvisation, textures evolve unpredictably, and rhythm becomes both structure and experiment. The album features a distinctive collaboration with the singer „Chi Chi, adding a human voice to an otherwise cinematic sonic landscape. Expect one track that stands apart, while the rest of the record is built on all original compositions, reflecting the bands uncompromising creative vision. Scattered throughout the album are quotes from movies, used not as decoration but as narrative fragments – echoes of dialogue that blur the line between music and film, memory and motion. Twenty-six years after its first appearance, this re-release reaffirms Four Ears second album as a bold, genre-defying statement – restless, curious, and still resonating far beyond its time. Four Ears are Bym Stempka and Curt Nolte, both children of Berlins underground scene! Bym has had great influence on Germanys music history. He was the founder of Flucht Nach Vorn (well known New Wave Underground outfit from the early eighties!)

From 1981 until 1983 he played the bass for Toten Piloten (dead pilots) – an underground band, with two other well known and impressive German techno-house-pioneers „Spaceteddy Dr. Motte and Jonzon. In 1988 Bym wrote and produced four singles under the pseudonym 2 Kut together with John Caffrey and Nainz Watts for Virgin. Between 1985 and 1990 he was a member of Mad Romeo (Phonogram Rec.) Under this pseudonym he has done several remixes! (Tony Cook, Froon, a.o.) From 1988 until 1994 he worked together with Colin Favor, Tim Westwood, Bam Bam, Jeff Mills, Robert Hood and others. Next to his work with Four Ears, Curt Nolte has also created the following film soundtracks: „Zeitgeister (director: Barbara Teufel, 1991), „Die Insel (director: Folke Kerkhoff, 1992), „Ein Haus Stellt Sich Vor (director: Axel Hollman, 1994), „Berndt In Brooklyn (director: Evelyn Rüsseler, 1994) and „Männer In Öl (director: Barbara Teufel, 1996). 11 und 12 (director: Till Harms, 1999).
