Bio:
Dominoe is a German rock band, which was founded in Grafing near Munich in 1987 by the guitarist Robert Pope (born December 10, 1960 in Ebersberg) and singer Jörg Sieber (born July 13, 1961 in Ulm). The band became known in early 1988 with the title Here I Am, the French car manufacturer Renault used in a commercial.The members of Dominoe had gathered first musical experiences in various student bands in the Munich area and knew each other for more than ten years. After setting up their own recording studio, the musicians tried in the mid-1980s with band names such as Flick Of The Wrist and Radius, until finally in 1987 with new singer Jörg Sieber the band Dominoe was launched. The six musicians made a top hit with their debut single. Thanks to the use of the song Here I Am in a television commercial of the car manufacturer Renault, who thus applied the model Renault 5, he rose in early 1988 in the German charts, reached there in February 4th place and held three months in the charts. The Bayern rockers were traveling in various European countries during this time and even appeared on French television.With the successor single Let's talk about life Dominoe could not build on the first success and reached only medium chart positions. The third single Family Man from the debut album Keep in Touch (1988) was only a respectable success.Then Robert Papst left the band in 1989 and appeared only as a producer for Dominoe in appearance. For him came the guitarist Markus Schiegl. Keyboarder and backing vocalist Angie Buchzyk subsequently left the band as well, trying out Angie Layne as a solo artist also produced by Pope.The second album The Key (1990), which was produced by Pope in collaboration with Harold Faltermeyer, also sold only moderately. After an accompanying tour, it came in 1991 to the dissolution of the band.Singer Jörg Sieber released a solo album in 1994 under the pseudonym Jay Seever. The single That's What You're Looking For was the title song for a Hanuta commercial.It was not until 2002 that Pope and Sieber decided on a third Dominoe album entitled No Silence ... No Lambs, which they recorded with new musicians.The fourth album The Story Is Far From Told was released in 2008 and was accompanied by some television appearances, such as the ZDF television garden, Sat.1 hit giants.For their fifth album Naked But Dressed, which appeared in 2012, first guest musicians were involved, including Jimi Jamison (singer of Survivor).In November 2018, the sixth album The Lost Radio Show was released. It consists of footage that Dominoe played in 2008 for a British radio show. Parts of these live recordings were lost at that time due to a hard drive crash, so that the planned radio program could not be transmitted. The preserved, incomplete parts were archived. Coincidentally, Robert Pope rediscovered these extracts at the beginning of 2018. Most of the songs recorded in 2008 were used for the album, only the parts that were really lost had to be re-recorded. Earlier band members and long-standing musician Pope's helped to complete and complete the recordings. Thus, Pope succeeded in capturing the atmosphere of the original session with this publication. The positive response from the music scene to the first further release of Dominoe after six years was accompanied by radio and TV interviews.
Album:
Few days ago we featured here the reissue of DOMINOE first album. Many of you loved it, then you really need to listen to the Germans second effort “The Key“, an awesome piece of Classic AOR / Melodic Rock to die for. This remastered reissue – handled by YesterRock Records yet not credited due to legal reasons – sounds terrific and adds 7 worthwhile bonus tracks.Dominoe had a great success with their debut album “Keep In Touch” from 1988, especially the single “Here I Am”, title tune for the advertising campaign of French car manufacturer Renault, which maintained a grip on the European singles charts for a mammoth 25-week time.Co-produced by magician Harold Faltermeyer (Top Gun soundtrack) and Robert Papst, “The Key” sound is bombastic, and the songs, anthem after anthem.Originally released 1990,, the demand for the album increased over the years. Numerous fans around the world were looking for an original CD copy which was just to get overpriced.During a conversation between YESTERROCK and Papst, they quickly reached an agreement and decided to re-release the album remastered to today’s sonic standards and adding a bunch of bonuses.The sound quality is awesome, pristine, and fortunately not saturated at all.FAN-DAMN-TASTIC album from start to finish !!
