A very special ROME session recorded at the Berlin studio of Grammy Award winning audio engineer Michael Ilbert, who usually has his hands full with mixing the international Pop A-list such as Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Depeche Mode, The Pixies, Einstürzende Neubauten. ROME plus entourage recorded songs including recent work like 'Kali Yuga Über Alles' (from "The Lone Furrow") and 'Who Only Europe Know' (from "Le Ceneri di Helidioro"), plus a selection of songs from their earliest material such as 'Like Lovers' (the very first song Reuter recorded as ROME in 2005). There were no overdubs made after the session - no actual enhancements of any sort, in fact - in order to capture the band's live sound in its raw form. The resulting "Hansa Studios Session II" is a real peek into a well-oiled live machine - in all its fierce rawness - and an authentic and intimate glimpse at one of Europe's most prolific songwriters at work. 6-panel digipak with 18-page booklet.
