1. Hansel originates from BOSTON.
HANSEL
Lorentzian Lineshaper
Label: D-Trash Records
"This was a tough CD to review, and even a tougher one to listen to, which is probably why I liked it so much."
Hansel is Alan Fux (vocals, samples, arrangements, orchestrations) and M.X. Lopex (samples, sequences, programming).
Hansel is also a clash of genres and a study of the thermodynamics of disparate sounds traversing against the grain. Pranksters and poets, Hansel is what Suicide would be today if modern computer technology was available.
Little things on the CD become the crux, like the glitchcore rendition of Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker", or a sample of strings, which, I believe, were taken from W.A. Mozart's "Requiem" mass on "Cypress Millwood".
Articulated throughout the CD is the notion of a chronic collision of molecules and galaxies, best evident on the punch and duck sequence of "Hookwormz" and "The Uncertainty Principle", but also in the "advanced technologies developed by monkeys" lyrics expressed on the latter track.
The track most resembling accessibility, "We Are Important", collapses into the manic flyswatter infestation of "Zlotnik" and a broader pattern develops, which can only be ascertained if one is willing to sift through the chaotic data streams and listen to the many paths of sound to reach an independent conclusion.

2. Hansel is a Hard Rock/Glam band from Newcastle, Australia
Band Members
Damo - Lead singer
Tim - Bass
Adam - Lead Guitar
Weasle - Rhythm Guitar/Keys
Blake - Drums
Five dudes bound by an oath of rock 'n' roll. They roam the wastelands of standard, boring, paper dry, modern Brit pop bands, leaving them in their wake with their big hair, big anthem, hard hitting, glam rock style.
Glowing like a beacon in the cold dark night.
Hansel is just so hot rite now.
Cypress Millwood
Hansel Lyrics

Der Raum voller Rauch so wie du dir den Kopf zerbrichst
Einsturzgefahr wie du Löcher in die Decke starrst
Und übersiehst dabei die ersten Sonnenstrahlen
Du meinst du bist nicht gut genug und du denkst dich klein weil du dir nicht reichst
Könntest du durch meine Augen sehen
Würdest du so wie ich auch zu dir stehen
Denn genau so wie du bist, bist du unvergleichlich
Alles tanzt um dich rum aber du wünscht dich weg von hier
Alle so befreit nur du bist gefangen hier
Und du schleichst wie ein Geist durch das Zimmer, fast unsichtbar
Doch so wird niemand sehen wie du wirklich strahlst
Denn du glaubst jeder Schritt nach vorn ist ein schritt zu weit
Weil du dir nicht reichst
Könntest du durch meine Augen sehen
Würdest du so wie ich auch zu dir stehen
Wegen deiner Fehler lieb ich dich, jedes Detail an dir ist heilig
Denn genau so wie du bist
Bist du das Gelb in einem Schwarz-weiss film
Ein Sonnenstrahl in der Nacht
Die Melodie in einem Stilbild so wie du lachst, so wie du lachst
In deinem Chaos sind lauter Fragen
Lass dir nie was anderes sagen
Denn genau so wie du bist, bist du unvergleichlich
Könntest du durch meine Augen sehen
Würdest du so wie ich auch zu dir stehen
Wegen deiner Fehler lieb ich dich, jedes Detail an dir ist heilig
Denn genau so wie du bist
Könntest du durch meine Augen sehen
Würdest du so wie ich auch zu dir stehen
Wegen deiner Fehler lieb ich dich, jedes Detail an dir ist heilig
Denn genau so wie du bist, bist du unvergleichlich
Alles schwarz in dem Haus nur in deinem Zimmer brennt noch Licht
The song Cypress Millwood by Hansel depicts the struggles of self-doubt and insecurity that can plague an individual. The opening lines describe a dark and smoky room in a house where the only light comes from the singer's room. The person is deep in thought, staring at the holes in the ceiling and feeling small and unworthy. The lyrics hint at the danger of the situation, with references to the risk of the ceiling collapsing. The person's negative thoughts overshadow the beauty of the first rays of sunlight that shine through the cracks.
The chorus offers a different perspective by asking the person to see themselves through the eyes of the singer. If they could do so, they would acknowledge all their flaws and love them for it. Every detail about them, even if it seems imperfect, is holy or sacred. The singer is unrepeatable or irreplaceable, like a unique color in a black-and-white film, a ray of sunshine in the night, or a delightful sound. They are reminded that their negative self-talk is a consequence of not recognizing their value and uniqueness.
The bridge of the song provides a message of hope, with an emphasis on never letting anyone tell you less than your worth. The song ends with the same line as the intro, which juxtaposes the darkness in the world with the light that can exist within an individual. The song captures the universal feelings of self-doubt and insecurity that can be hard to overcome without a gentle reminder that you are special just the way you are.
