July 17. MUSIC AND
CARS.
When the techno band Captive Audience (USA) put several free MP3 audio files of their music on the Internet, they caught the attention of BMW Deutschland. In search of some bright and catchy tunes to accompany commercial video footage, the famed German car manufacturer shot off an e-mail to bandmates Craig Conley and Michael Warwick. The songs that intrigued BMW were "Insomnia" and "Caught in a K-Hole," both from Captive Audience's second album "We Are Each Other's Baby." After agreeing on terms, the band went back into their home studio to prepare exclusive extended instrumental versions. The music is purely electronic in nature, with intricately layered baroque melodies and upbeat tempos. Inspired by the BMW project, Captive Audience has recorded a new album entitled "Auto Play." Each track is themed to an archetypical driving experience. Due to the sonic range limitations of many car stereo systems, the music on this album is mastered to prevent speaker buzzing.
