Station 17
Blick
New production from the artist collective founded in 1990, comprising musicians with and without disabilities. Following releases on Mute, Mercury and Whats So Funny About, this is their tenth album and their first on Bureau B. Guests: Jean-Herve Perron and Zappi Diermaier from faUSt, Guenter Schickert, Ulrich Schnauss, Pyrolator, Harald Grosskopf & Eberhard Kranemann, Andreas Dorau, Schneider TM, Andreas Spechtl and Datashock. If their preceding album "Alles fuer alle" represented the band's first pure pop creation, "Blick" is a triple backwards somersault in style. This will come as no surprise to anybody who has followed their progress over the past 30 years, crossing musical boundaries as they go. Experimentation is in the DNA of the band founded by musicians with and without disabilities. For the "Blick"recording sessions, they decided to shake off the dust of the town and the modern world, ensconcing themselves in the Wattn Sound Studio on the North Sea. Three weeks in the summery seclusion of this coastal idyll enabled the band to cast off the pop restraints of their previous album and enter the realms of free improvisation.
