Missing Heart

Missing Heart是一个德国的音乐专业制作组
　　成员来自bros队(david brandes,felix j.gauder,domenico labarile,gary jones等等)，组合成立于1994年。他们在1994年发行了第一个单曲作品"wild angels"，就此开始了他们的音乐制作路程。在1996年发行了第二单曲"charlene"，从这时候开始这组合开始被人慢慢认识，在欧洲的舞曲乐坛和俱乐部流行起来。组合在1997年再次发行了第三张单曲"moonlight shadow"，这次的作品是重新混音。之后moonlight shadow被日本音乐公司收录在的舞曲专缉"dance mania 7" (1997)和"dance mania extra" (1998)里面，专缉推出之后引起了Missing Heart风潮。Missing Heart 制作的moonlight shadow在日本非常受欢迎，被引用在其他影象里制作mtv的情况不计其数，动漫方面浪客剑心星霜篇可是这些同人作品里的代表作。
　　为组合演唱的歌手一共有两个，最初的歌手是来自电子舞曲组合e-rotic里的女歌手Lyane Leigh，2000年之后就改由音乐界新星Manu More女歌手来演唱，演唱的moonlight shadow也分别由两个歌手唱出各自的版本
　　由Lyane Leigh演唱的moonlight shadow是moonlight shadow (radio edit)，发行时间为1997年。这版本被很多人认为是groove coverage唱的，其实不是。大家应该在kugoo里下载过一首groove coverage唱的moonlight shadow[dance remix]版吧，其实就是这个版，美妙的旋律配上具有穿透力的沙哑声线，冲击力一流
　　不过因为某些原因lyane leigh离开了乐队。Lyane Leigh原来来自于另外一个组合e-rotic。e-rotic也是一个德国电子舞曲组合，组合成员有两个，一男一女，男是dj，女是主唱
MISSING HEART was a project managed by German Producers David Brandes, Felix J. Gauder, and Domenico Labarile, debuted with a single "Wild Angels" back in 1994, however truly the beginning of the project started with 1996 single "Charlene". Since then, the group has been popular in European clubs and pop scenes. The group made the inroads to Japan when the third single "Moonlight Shadow" originally recorded by Mike Oldfield was released in 1997 and was featured in Japanese compilations "Dance Mania 7" (1997) , and in the "Dance Mania Extra" (1998) which became the topic of conversations because of the selection of music pieces by popular voting.
The face of MISSING HEART became Miss Manu, with dark brown hair and eyes. Standing 167 cm tall and weighing 49kg, she has a beauty like a model and was adored in European club scenes. She has a beautiful feature reminding of Madline Cane who became well known during the golden disco age in the seventies. On the portrait, she gives an impression of a very mysterious beautiful lady wearing futuristic make up as if she is a character in the "Blade Runner." Her vocal expression has also sensitivity unique to Europeans. She was born in Hong Kong on October 29, 1978. She has a brilliant career of being selected as a German champion of the standard dance. She is a perfect fit in the European clubs and disco houses where the song and dance elements are still highly demanded.
Incidentally, Manu's hobbies are dancing and calling on the phone (is this a hobby?), and she is proficient in English, Russian, and French. She loves cats among animals, black among colors, cream soda and spaghetti with broccoli among foods. Also, her favorite movie is "Shakespeare in Love" and her favorite movie stars are Uma Therman, Jody Foster, and George Clooney. In music, she loves Rolin Hill, Sasha, and DJ Tonka, which implies that she is a perfect match with a type of music similar to the work style that crosses over the DISCO, CLUBS and the RADIO.
Manu was never singer for MISSING HEART. "Charlene" and "Moonlight Shadow" singles were recorded by a E-ROTIC's singer Lyane Leigh who later established her own group SEX APPEAL. She also recorded the first MISSING HEART song "Wild Angels" with Deon Blue who at that time was a rapper for another great EURO group PHARAO.
A little bit about the origin of the project's name. There was a movie called "Missing"where Jack Raymonds and CC Spencer played leading characters. The theme of the movie was about finding a missing person, a direct meaning of the word. The project's name: MISSING HEART imply "disappeared" or "lost" from the title of their debut album "Mystery." However, word "miss" has another connotation like in "I miss you" which symbolizes a feeling of love. It's name suggests mysterious image overlapped with a soft mood of love.
In 2000 MISSING HEART completed mentioned above debut and only album "Mystery" released only in Japan. In contained a mixture of POP music and TRANCE. Both styles were very popular in Europe, and supported by the dance fans. It is not an overstatement to assert that the "9 P.M. (Till I Come)" by ATB, which claimed the No. 1 ranking in entire UK few years back, established a new sound venue. The content of such TRANCE emotional sound blended with a POP melody was the selling point of this MISSING HEART album. Most of the songs featured in the album were recorded by Lydia Madalinsky (who also featured at later E-ROTIC songs) with exception of "Queen Of Light" sang by Jeanette Christensen and "Charlene" by Lyane Leigh.
In June 2001 MISSING HEART appeared again on European dance scene with the German release of the single "Tears In May" on Sony Music. Single features mixes done by TALLA 2XLC and PLASTIC AGE produced in dramatic TECHNO/TRANCE style.
Since then project ceased releasing any new music. Interestingly the "Mystery" album became such a collector item that people are now paying hundreds of $$$ on Ebay.com if it appears (rarely)!
