Oberer Totpunkt
Desiderat
The spoken word rocks! Minimal-Electro with pumping basslines and lashing drums come up against the apocalyptic lyrics of Bettina Bormann. After the minimalistic debut "10 Grad vor OT" (2008, 10 Degrees before TDC), the cynical successor "Erde ruft" (Ground calls, 2009) and the bizarre "Stiller Zoo" (2010, Silent Zoo) now follows with "Desiderat" the fourth album of the German Electro-Duo Oberer Totpunkt: Musically more aggressive than the previous, merciless in the word world - cutting, disturbing. Desired and hoped for. Truth and reality. What value have all our wishes and tendons? Whats tje desire of our acts and omissions? What ist the goal of our life dreams and our aspirations in the context of our finitude? The thought of the finiteness should not paralyze us nor disturb. However, it should make people aware that we have no time to waste. So we filter more carefully the goals that have been given to us only from the outside, and deliver us from longings. So like the Desiderata by Max Ehrmann based on real and sincere way, the album analyzed "desideratum" the discomfort - and: encourages to more happiness..
