AMOS is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and entertainer. On his debut album "Imperator Of Pop" - as the name implies - you find 12 songs at the highest stage, a disco cocktail made of contemporary sound patterns and the essences of 80ies pop, coming with a souvereignity that makes you think you know AMOS eversince. At the same time this all appears so diversified and refreshingly real that you can be sure you're far-off the usual popcultural pabulum. AMOS moves ably within his precise arrangements, between guitar riffs, sirup-sweet vocal choirs and a crispy brass, doing without any razzmatazz, evocative of Quincy Jones work for the early Michael Jackson. The packaging, too, is one of a kind. AMOS - Imperator Of Pop is available via Sounds Of Subterrania! on June, the 1st 2007 as CD or Double LP, each with a stunning and lovely crafted megaposter cover. This album is truly unique.

The Imperator of Pop is back. Following a successful debut album and a tour that hit international clubs like a bomb in 2007, here comes what already knew how to convince as a live set. "AMOS Clubmixes" is a new edition of 8 songs, that appear so powerful you fear your midriff gets torn. The records demonstrates the quality and changeableness of all tracks and turns the 80s muff into high-gloss. Ranging from a cowbell inferno in "I Can't Stop My Feet" that reminds of Miami Soundsystems better years over the two fisted saw synth in "Bla Bla", a pumping bassline in "Party People" that only germans entertainment wunderkinder Deichkind could take on, the contemporary minimal groove of "Tonite I Feel Like Dancing" to the syrup sweet yet omnipresent pads in the Alan Braxic "Let's Do It Tonite" - the mixture is ever homogeneous, ultrafat and confirms Amos exceptional status between pop and underground impressively. Impressed is what Leander Hau

The Imperator of Pop is back! With the "Last Christmas" for the Next Generation. Come on a light-footed walk through lines so suggestive yet charming you want to sing along while laughing up your fake Santa beard.

AMOS also lets action speak as he is going to donate all benefits from the record sales to "Futuro Si!", an initiative for children from latin america.

1. Showtime will contain 11 songs and be released on vinyl with a blank white cover. 2. A cross-genre art project. Visual artists from all over the world may create an individual artwork, send the record back in and set the price for which it is to be sold. All these one-off pieces will be exhibited and be for sale right here on 26 Aug, 2010. 11 brandnew rock tracks herald a new chapter for German-Iranian universal talent."Showtime" presents an AMOS who has grown up and lost his constraints, leaving the dancefloor of his earlier releases behind to tread in the footprints of traditional rock bands. With guitar work reminiscent of Brian May and Steve Stevens, vocal lines to match Lou Gramm or Rick Springfield and Led Zeppelin-style interludes as a striking touch in today's musical climate, AMOS remains true to his own distinctive style throughout, with his finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary music. The album is broad in scope, with each track packed with individual dynamism. From the straightforward up-tempo rhythm of "Showtime", languid power of "Love Between Men" and anthemic pop rock of "Are You Ready" to the cheesy instrumental "White Snow" and balladesque rock melodrama "Last Song", AMOS rolls out his multifaceted talent with the confidence of an artist in his element. The album's lyrics are far more profound than its predecessor, examining inner conflict - in "Showtime" and "New York City" - or focusing on social conflict, as in "Are You Ready" and "Us Against the Rest of the World". AMOS's trademark humour surfaces blackly in "Thinking of You" and "Supersonnig", his first song in German language, which tackles the current hot topic of insatiable material greed.
