"Surprisingly and totally unexpected Christian Morgenstern died on the 17th of June, 2003 because of a sudden cardiac arrest. He was a producer and the label manager of Forte Records, his own company. Until his sudden death he worked full time and as if possessed on his new album which was scheduled to be released in September 2003 -- as if he knew that he wouldn't have much time. This album has been the most personal thing he left behind. He switched musical styles again, turning to more song-like structures in his music. For the first time he worked with partners, vocalists Gesa Schwietring and Egmont Badini, both close friends from Cologne, Germany. Christian wasn't able to finish the album, but he got really far with the tracks released here, most of them he finished, some of them have to be understood as sketches. With the help of his close friends his musical legacy could be saved for his fans."

"Christian Morgenstern is back with a high-tech real Neo-disko piece, that is the sure shot feet-shuffler for this summer. 'Wasn't you' is the first track from the upcoming Christian Morgenstern album."

"This album can be seen as a further step in Morgenstern's development towards musicality and songwriting. Still inhabiting his very unique style, this mixture of smooth and elegant sounds and a twisted tech-house moodiness, Hawaii Blue combines a range of of various styles and influences not heard before on one album. Unlike his rather dark and moody double 12" The Lydia EP from 1999, this album for the first time reveals Morgenstern's true musical origin: the 80s. Far from retro-cliches, he combines influences from the good ol' time with state of the art sound and ambiance.

"2 years ago, Christian Morgenstern invitited you with The Future Is On Fire -- The Kanzleramt Years to a 73 minute-travel into the depth of his soul. All 17 soundscapes on the CD were released on vinyl only until then and it makes throughout sense to put them in this order on a album-CD. Since Christian Morgenstern has just recently reached much more publics' focus, many of his early releases are even unknown to insiders. The Future Is On Fire Pt.2 -- More Kanzleramt Years completes the CD collection of Christian´s tracks only released on vinyl yet. These 13 tracks in addition to the first CD (KA CM1) offer you a comprehensive CD-collection of the 30 best Morgenstern productions of the last years. The future of yesterday is still more utopic then most productions of today."

"After releasing several records on labels like Kurbel, Konsequent, Kanzleramt and Creation Rebel during the past 2 years, Christian Morgenstern now comes up with his first album on his own Forte label. Death Before Disko ranges from funky, pumping post-psychotic techno tracks featuring Latin-house like grooves towards weird atmospheric listening music. Mainly using vintage equipment and tube amplifiers from the early 80s, Christian Morgenstern managed to created an incredibly smooth, silky and fat sound."

"Features mixes of said track by Claude Young (Utensil/DOW/Acacia/Frictional/7th City/Emissions Audio Output/Djax-Up Beats/Elypsia/Studio !K7/Muller/Surface/Urban Substance recording artist, 2nd-gen Detroit legend), Richard Bartz (Kurbel, Kanzleramt, Disko B recording artist, techno legend), and Morgenstern himself (Kurbel, Kanzleramt, Konsequent, and now Forte recording artist) in a lean, stripped down floor-filling style.
