STOSSTRUPP REVIVAL DUETT
s/t
|| Kennt überhaupt jemand
noch die beiden Veröffentlichungen von STOSSTRUPP
auf Rock-O-Rama? Ich musste fix nachschauen und war
überrascht, dass ich die dann wohl auch besitze. Aus der
Nummer komme ich jetzt wohl nicht mehr raus? Verbor-
gene Schätze ... Also hat die Veröffentlichung dieser 3“-CD
schon Sinn gemacht. Ich habe mich köstlich amüsiert,
einen so herrlichen Schrott wieder zu hören. Klar, voll
krass Punk, ey! Nee, die Platten sind komplette Kacke, aber
ein wichtiges Zeitdokument und damit Kulturgut. Viel-
leicht sollte man echt mal einen Rock-O-Rama-Report
machen, mit einer Tribute-CD voller Coverversionen? –
Melde mich schonmal für „Metzger“ von KAHLKOPF an!
Verkaufsfördend zu erwähnen wäre noch, dass hier Jan
Müller und Rasmus Engler von DAS BIERBEBEN musizie-
ren oder besser gesagt: die Saiten mächtig schrubben und
dumm rumgrölen ... Auch Kulturgut. Damit unbezahlbar
und schon gar nicht bewertbar. Carsten Vollmer

SET 07/ K.i.N.d.V. - Stosstrupp Revival Duett 3"

In 1983 the Rock-o-Rama label (still a punk-label at that time) released the EP "Kein schöner Land" by Stosstrupp, The release of the LP "Wie lange noch" followed quickly in the same year. Regardless of their exceptional sounddesign both releases failed to get any noteworthy attention among fans and critics. Until now. This 3" CD-R contains 12 reinterpretations of Stosstrupp-Titles, played by Jan Müller and Rasmus Engler as the Stosstrupp Revival Duett. In it's violent and vibrant acuity this is far more than a simple tribute. It's noise of pure joy.

Arbeitslos / Im Wald / Wie lang noch / Kein schöner Land / Ferien in Afghanistan / Neo's / Bullenstraat / Leben / Lug+Betrug / Im Namen des Volkes / Ohne Mich / Die Säcke

This is a split-release of Künstelrgruppe im Namen des Volkes (K.i.N.d.V.) and Someone Else's Tapes.

Available now! 6 € / alex.tsitsigias@gmx.de

Coming up next (2010): Urs Schütte / JE Michaelis (titel tba.) MC

Reviews

2009-02-25T08:04:00.000-08:00

Despite the fact that we didn't do any promotion, i found two short reviews of the first two SETapes.

Urus martan & Alex Tsitsigias - Rare Animals and Fruits
First release on a new tape-label from Hamburg! This tape (C-20) features quite droney & atmospheric x-scapes with a raw edge, bubbling analogue-synths, pulses, harsh breaks, concrete outlets... (by URUS MARTAN); more intense & advanced dronescapes with metallic / machine like sounds within on Side B by label-owner ALEX TSITISGIAS, really powerful. A damn good tape for people who like challenging atmospheric sound collages!

and another one in german:

The Approval - Dozo
Ein kleines aber feines Tape ist "Dozo" von The Approval. Auf der Kassette befinden sich zwei Lieder, die sich am ehesten als verhuscht bezeichnen lassen - beim ersten Hören bemerkt man noch gar nicht, was für ein hinterlistiger Ohrwurm insbesondere "Ten Swallow Lake" ist. Nach und nach zeigt sich aber die wahre Größe dieser beiden Songs. Leute, die keine Angst vor ein bisschen LoFi haben, sollten auf jeden Fall den Fünfer in dieses Tape investieren (mit öffentlich zugänglichen Hörproben kann ich leider nicht dienen).

kptmichigan and son - home away

OFFICIAL INFO:

kptmichigan and son formed around 5 years ago in dörentrup, germany but split due to musical differences. when in mourillon, a suburb of toulon in the south of france in the summer of 2007, they swept aside their old clinch and kicked out the jams. fieldrecordings of cicadas and underprivilaged children, pianos played with 4 hands, sleep depravation (sergej), box o`clock, a beautiful mother and lover and too much hash (michael) mixed with a bout of sheer joy and happiness make this a complete no bollocks affair.

SET-NOTE: A warm welcome to the Kpt. and his young mate. This mini-album (8 pieces) kicks in with beautiful obscurity. File-under: High spirits and fancy moods

Max Müller - tba.

A few headwords concerning the case of Max Müller: Honkas, Camping Sex, Mutter, Musikcafe Wolfburg & solo-records ("Endlich tot" e.g.). What else do we have to say? A lot! Max Müller, as a jack of all trades, has a whole tape of new solo-material in common, which will appear exclusively on SET. Yeh! Yeh!
(by the way: don't miss his brandnew, excellent record "Die Nostalgie ist auch nicht mehr das, was sie früher einmal war" on Angelika Köhlermann | http://angelika.koehlermann.at/ )

Säubrenner - tba.

Dept. Noise-Rock from Hamburg. The research on this anthology has just begun, but be sure this will be brute and awesome.

Zarkoff's Coming - tba.

This might be one of the most anticipated tape-releases in the history of misfortune. File under: Swig-Noise
