Die
Grenzlandreiter, they're people at whose
place the kettle starts whistling at about
one o'clock in the morning after the
annoying radio-controlled alarm clock had to
beep out the beat (in true cellphone-rings-during-service
style). When people who almost don't smoke
blow smoke into the surgeon general's face,
that's their way of leaving their anarchist
mark. And in this way, each of the 13 tracks
is furnished with its subject, its
justification, its headline. Which came
first? The headline or its musical
realization? Snippets of sound are cut up,
blended, pasted together. Big city orchestra
in small-town Augsburg. And in the end,
everything collapses. Just the way we know
it from real life. Bernd Spring / DHYANA
