Many of the songs that had already been played live were completely disassembled and put together again, giving them a different sound and feel compared to the original versions of the songs performed in earlier times.Ī new instrument that would be used by the band both in the album and at live shows was the marimba. and Tom Waits, the latter of which had been a huge influence on the band's earlier work. Howard had earlier mixed the audio for R.E.M.
The band had recorded their three previous studio albums at Duper Studios in Bergen with the help of producer Jørgen Træen, whom they stated was the "best producer in the world." However, when they were approached by sound engineer and producer Mark Howard through MySpace, they came to an agreement, and Howard was hired as the producer for the new album. A 30-track demo was recorded in early 2007.Įarly on, the band stated that with Maskineri they wanted to go in a new direction, not only with the songs, but also with how the album was to be made and whom to make it with. Janove Ottesen and Geir Zahl continued writing songs for Kaizers Orchestra throughout the end of 2006 and into 2007. They also played three live shows in 2007, despite the aforementioned announcement. During this period, they negotiated their release from their contract with Universal Germany. After the last of the three concerts at Vega in Copenhagen, Denmark, the band officially announced that they would take a small sabbatical from acting as the collective group Kaizers Orchestra, so that all members could pursue their own projects until fall 2007.
The songs had been written earlier that day. Also, during the tour a fan managed to record parts of a soundcheck at the small concert venue Tobakken in Denmark, where they performed for the first time two untitled new songs, which were later confirmed to be "Enden av november" and "Du og meg Lou". No new material surfaced until the band's Grand Finale Tour in autumn 2006, where two new songs, "Den sjette sansen" and "9 mm", were played, along with "Du og dine er even". This has later been confirmed to be "Med en gong eg når bånn". Around the same time, the band confirmed in an interview that the band was working on a song "about a dying man in a boat who, before he dies, tells the sea about his life". Here, not only did Kaizers Orchestra play some rarely played B-sides but "Du og dine er even" was performed again, and frontman Janove Ottesen also single-handedly performed a new composition, a pump-organ ballad called "Under månen". A day after the first performance, a private concert was held for fans who had won a contest held as a promotion for their 2006 live album Live at Vega. That came after a policewoman there was shot to death and locked in the trunk of a car.The first new composition after the release of their third studio album, Maestro, was "Du og dine er even" (the song's title would later be changed to "Moment"), which was first played at a show at the famous Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo, Norway. In October, police in the resort of Playa del Carmen - between Cancun and Tulum - staged a raid detaining 26 suspects, apparently for drug sales. Two men were also shot to death on the beach in Tulum in June, and a third was wounded. The situation in Quintana Roo state, where the resorts are located, appears to have started to spin out of control months ago. That gunfight apparently broke out between two groups that operate street-level drug sales in the area, prosecutors said. Two foreign tourists - a California travel blogger and a German tourist - were caught up in the shootout and died. Mexican security forces last month attended what appears to have been a similar incident in Tulum, a popular resort some 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of Cancun. Guests at nearby hotels posted videos and photos of tourists hiding or nervously gathering in lobbies as the incident unfolded.
In a tweet, the attorney general's office said there were no other serious injuries. Police had earlier reported that a group of armed men carrying long guns had been seen in the area of the Azul Beach hotel.Ī group of gunmen was thought to have arrived by boat in pursuit of the men who were killed in what another Mexican official said appeared to have been a targeted "execution."

It is the latest episode in a series of drug gang violence incidents that have tarnished the once-tranquil image of Mexico's popular Caribbean coast. The news was announced a few hours after reports of a shooting near upscale hotels popular with foreign tourists started to circulate on social media. The state of Quintana Roo's attorney general's office said on Thursday that rival gunmen from competing gangs had faced off on a beach in Puerto Morelos, and that two had been killed. The Hyatt Ziva is one of the hotels where tourists hid as the gunfight took place
