ELF

Heard again and again and again…

One of my favourite bands is “Long Distance Calling” from Münster in Germany. Some people declare their music as Post-Rock, they themselves see it as Instrumental-Rock.

Into The Black Wide Open

On each of their studio albums, there is a song with a guest singer.

With John Bush (Armored Saint, Anthrax):

Middleville

The most important influences for Long Distance Calling are post-rock and progressive rock bands such as Isis, Tool, Mogwai, Dredg and Porcupine Tree.

Black Paper Planes

The song Arecibo (Long Distance Calling) was named after the town of Arecibo in Puerto Rico, the observatory there is the second largest radio telescope in the world. On 16 November 1974, the so-called Arecibo message was sent to potential aliens into space. For this reason, the band's name was hung on the song title.
