PRESSE:
KURIER:
Valesta Project klingen auf ihrem Debütalbum "Actionfilm" (Las Vegas records), als wären sie in Elektropopkunde neben Daft Punk Gesessen. Sie sind aber keine Franzosen, sondern Österreicher. Spannend auch Dank verschiedener Gastsänger. (Guido Tartarotti)
NOW:
In pumpenden Techno-Pop-Gefilde enführt Georg Lichtenauers Valesta Project auf dem Album Actionfilm. Hier dürfen LoFi-Electro "Beats and Bytes"enfesselt rocken. Zu voluminösen Bassdrums gesellen sich Melodien wie aus Commodore 64 Computerspielen, DAf-Sequenzern, rythmische Hooklines sowie quasi Raps, die and die seltsamen Auswüchse der 1990 Jahre Dancefloor- Sounds erinnert (C+C Music Factory und so). Eine spaßige Sache!
