108: John, Paul, George, Ringo & Richard - Reflex LP

JPGR&R ist das ungeliebte zweitgeborene Einzelkind von dem einen von PISSE. Zeitgenössische Tanzmusik für Leute die Clubs hassen, für Menschen die aufgegeben haben, für Kinder die in Brunnen gefallen sind, für Leute die sich zum Trost über das Scheitern an ihrer mangelnden Zuversicht hochziehen. Aber, wer sich ekelt, lebt wenigstens noch.

REFLEX ist ein schmallippiges Verhandeln mittel-relevanter Zeitfragen auf bedingt tanzbarer Musik. High with little help from my friends: Theresa als Mitsängerin, Brezel Göring, der alles in seinem Kellerloch aufgenommen hat und zwei sinnstiftenden Fotografien von Oz Ozon auf dem Innersleeve.

107 D.B.R. - Unbreakable LP

In the Year of the Firehorse, DBR finally released their first record — so it can be slipped more easily into a saddlebag, though conveniently only on cassette. But NOW, the saddlebag doesn't fit any more, because it grew and it's now an enormous LP. As on the previous records, DBR once again sound completely different. With real drums, real guitars, and a real bass, you can now almost call it a band. The songs were recorded and mixed by T-Rex in Kaulsdorf, Lichtenberg, and Marzahn, and you couldn’t really describe the sound any better than that. Anyone who owns a record player shouldn’t miss out on this piece of Berlin rock history.

110 Highway Patrol - So Dry 12"

GHOST DRIVER ON THE ONE-WAY-ROAD TO FUTURE

Through a happy coincidence HIGHWAY PATROL had the chance to travel back in time. Wow! Following the invitation of recording and mixing engineer Eduard-Alexandru Popovici, the idea was to produce four songs in the spirit of the late 1960s and early 1970s. They were recorded and mixed on a vintage analogue console, saved and adjusted digitally and transferred onto real tape to introduce natural tape saturation. The final mastering was again done digitally.

As nowadays it seems quite easy to emulate the sound of the past via a few digital plug-ins, this process meant quite a detour for the band – or was it? Because the tracks were recorded analoguely, a lot of decisions about sound had to be made very early on, narrowing down the infinite ocean of possibilities in digital production and therefore cutting right to the heart of the matter of: how do we want to sound?! And how thrilling a surprise to find out that the transfer to real tape added astonishing depth and character, most notably to the voices!

Their record "So Dry" once again sounds like going on a journey - which appears to have become the „signature feel“ of HIGHWAY PATROL. While "Trapped In The City" speaks of emotions heating up and melting away in the confines of the city, "So Dry" takes you out of town, breaking free from the strangely parching thirst for infinite enjoyment. "Wild Man" begs and screams for the attention of our lovers warped in their ambitions and eventually "Train" takes you on a rumbling and shoo-shooing journey to the heart of the sea.

Join HIGHWAY PATROL for the ride and get one of those limited 4-Song-Special-EPs. There's a rumour going around that there are just 150 copies available.

105 ÖPNV - +4917635713990 LP

ÖPNV have regressed. But not in the sense of the comic character who gets hit on the head with a hammer and then shits his pants; rather in the sense of a Berlin post-punk band that, with one eye, helplessly observes the band’s internal fluctuation while, with the other eye, processes the big-city hustle of Berlin and transforms what is seen and experienced—using hands and words—into avant-garde art set to self-installed drum-computer beats. I called +4917635713990 to bring the good news that ÖPNV have released a new album, but on the other end of the line I was told to go lick ÖPNV’s ass. They were one step ahead of me.

ÖPNV make rudimentary post-punk in the broadest sense, with dangerous bass lines and drum machines. On top of that come two tons of over-spilled synthesizers and subway-driver-esque announcements disguised as vocals. The whole thing is decorated with seemingly stolen children’s instruments and samples from the depths of the heart of Berlin’s underground: the subway, answering machines, and nightlife. My tip for visitors to our beloved capital: don’t make friends there—stay home instead and listen to ÖPNV’s new record!

107 D.B.R. - Unbearable CS

Zum Jahr des Feuerpferdes veröffentlicht DBR endlich die erste Platte - damit man sie besser in die Reittasche stecken kann, aber praktischerweise nur auf Kassette. Wie auf den Tapes zuvor klingt DBR auch diesmal komplett anders. Mit echten Drums und echten Gitarren und echtem Bass kann man inzwischen schon fast von einer Band sprechen. Aufgenommen und gemixt wurden die Songs von T-Rex in Kaulsdorf, Lichtenberg und Marzahn und viel besser kann man den Sound auch nicht mehr beschreiben. Wer einen Kassettenspieler besitzt, sollte sich dieses Stück Berliner Rockgeschichte nicht entgehen lassen.

106 Highway Patrol - In Tears CS

Highway Patrol legen nach nur anderthalb Jahren nach. Roughe, live aufgenommene und durchgehend hypnotische 12 Songs einfach auf Tape rausballern? Klar, why not?! Um vielleicht die Wartezeit auf ein weiteres Album zu verkürzen? Um zu zeigen wie viele Songs sie noch im Patronengürtel haben oder um die ganze spielfreudige Tension in die Welt zu lassen? Who knows! Hat sicher noch ganz andere Gründe, aber ich fühle Highway Patrol.

Erste Assoziation beim Hören der Aufnahmen: "80er Punkband im DDR-Knast spielen auf selbstgeschnitzten Instrumenten den Soundtrack zu 'nem Cyberpunk-Anime". Das das Ganze im Hühnerstall zwischen Dosenbier, Acrylbongs und der bevorstehenden Hippieinvasion aus dem Outer Rim aufgenommen wurde, hab ich erst danach erfahren.

97 Isolationsgemeinschaft - Start. Stop. Zurück. LP

After two excellent LPs, Isolationsgemeinschaft from Berlin are hitting it big on their third album: 'Start. Stop. Zurück.' Deadpan observations of life under too-late capitalism are set to pulsating, bubbling analogue synth tracks - sometimes elegiac, often danceable, occasionally sliding into EBM ('Schwelle') or even Italo ('Zufall') territory, at other times intercut by sharp krautfunk guitars ('Funklöcher'). 'Start. Stop. Zurück.' is as sparse as it is varied, steeped in early continental electronic post punk but never falling into the retro trap. This is maximum minimal wave forged in the crucible of D.I.Y. punk and hardcore, and it shows. Guaranteed to haunt dancefloors from your grubby squat basements to your glam goth discos for years to come. (Tomi / Plague Pits)

99 Splizz - s/t 12"

Splizz aus Berlin mit vier neuen Songs, die in jeglicher Hinsicht nochmal ne Schippe drauflegen. Sobald die Nadel in die Rille taucht, kühlt sich die Raumtemperatur merklich ab und die ersten Töne helfen Dir wie in diesen wohligen und dunklen Mantel, den schon das selbstbetitelte Tape umgab. Die klare, kalte "stripped to the bone" und ballastarme Soundästhetik steht durchweg sehr persönlichen Lyrics gegenüber und zeigt eine Band, die scheinbar locker zwischen allen Stühlen sitzt, meisterlich zitiert und dabei unwirklich eigen bleibt.

102 Z.O.L. - Zwei Oktaven langsamer CS

Sehr geschickt das Demo erhalten, lange rumgebummelt und in der Küche hat's gezündet. Obwohl sich das Trio sicher in der falschen Gegend gefunden hat, riecht alles aber wirklich alles in der Nummer nach Mansfelder Land, Gotha oder Knobelsdorf. Wenn es nach mir ginge, hätten die in Städten über 3.000 Einwohner Auftrittsverbot und ne glorreiche Karriere in den Dorfscheunen dieser Welt vor sich. Aber nach mir geht's hier nicht. Egal. Unkompliziert, aus der Hüfte, hier und da Gerumpel. Zeitreise im positiven Sinn.

98 Telesatan - s/t 7"

Hell yeah! Maybe 7" records were made for single songs plus b-side or they were made to unleash monstrous 4-track ragers to blast you and your hifi directly to the graveyard of all heroes and heroines of Rock to have an infinite orgy with them. Guess this is an example of the last. If this record would have been released in the 80ies, then Eddie Munson would have played 'Dämonenfeuer' instead of this other song to decoy demonbats. Nuff said?
