  • The next album by Black Strobe member Arnaud Rebotini is called Someone Gave Me Religion, and is due for release this May. Rebotini has spent most of his career making music as part of Black Strobe, the French outfit that began as a duo with Ivan Smagghe and today exists as a four-piece band. But he also has plenty of solo work under his belt, including the 2008 album Music Components and a string of earlier records under the name Zend Avesta. Someone Gave Me Religion is his first solo release in two years, and has much of the goth-inspired electro fans would expect from Rebotini, plus an extended ambient piece, aptly titled "The First Thirteen Minutes of Love." It marks the first full-length on Blackstrobe Records, Rebotini's new label that launches next month. The full album will be preceded by a single for Personal Dictator, due out on April 11th. That one features remixes by Mixhell, Motor and The Hacker, plus an exclusive track called "Twilight of Gods." Tracklist 01. The First Thirteen Minutes of Love 02. Another Time, Another Place 03.
