The Notwist - Pick Up the Phone (from Neon Golden) Hitting up some early aughts bands I love today. I was especially enamored with The Notwist’s Neon Golden in 2002. Such a great album! “Pilot” and “One With the Freaks” also great tracks. I remember listening to it over and over that year (and one of the Acher brother’s other band Lali Puna). German indie rock at its finest. They’re still touring and releasing work (last album was 2016). Need to catch up with them.

Acid Pauli - BLD

Acid Pauli is a name synonymous with certain aesthetic towards electronic music culture - both a part of the unhooked generation of that grew up experiencing his revelatory sets at places like Bar 25 and Fusion, and yet deeply rooted in musicality and adventurousness. BLD, the second full album from Martin Gretschmann, (aka Acid Pauli), builds on his already impressive back catalogue which spans back to 2005, and includes a debut album released on Nicolas Jaar’s Clown and Sunset. Over the course of the eight tracks here, Gretschmann explores some of the many facets that have made him one of the most trusted artists in his field. Released on his own (and Nico Stojan’s) label Ouïe - the album is the perfect expression of the imprint’s commitment to diverse, exciting sounds, freed of the conventions of traditional club music. The album covers a number of moods and emotions, from dystopian carnivalesque vibes to moments of high intensity, through to deep melancholia and synth laden ambience. Gretschmann’s well documented love of the sampler shines throughout - tracks are textured and colored with different hues from his extensive sound palette, whether it’s a part of his more psychedelic moments, or concentrated on his innate knowledge of dancefloor dynamics. As such BLD sits together as a complete piece of music - to be relished just as much by blissed out home listeners as the left-field dancers.

Musikalische Neuentdeckungen im August und September

Die Ärzte - DUNKEL - Nur ein Jahr nach ihrem letzten Album “HELL” haben Die Ärzte direkt nachgelegt und ein zweites Album veröffentlicht. Wie der Name schon andeutet, ist es ein weniger düsterer als sein Vorgänger. Anspieltipps: “DUNKEL”, “DOOF”, “TRISTESSE”, “NOISE”, “ERHABEN” und “OUR BASS PLAYER HATES THIS SONG”.

Tocotronic - Schlittenflug - Zitat aus den musikalischen Neuentdeckungen im April: “Tocotronic ist meine “I just can’t get into them” Band und ich weiß nicht mal genau, wieso. Ja, ein paar ihrer Songs sind ganz nett aber der Großteil davon holt mich einfach nicht ab.” Nun, mittlerweile hat sich das geändert und ich höre diese Band wirklich sehr gerne. Wurde ja auch Zeit, nachdem Spotify mit jahrelang ständig Songs dieser Band empfohlen hat. Dieses Lied, exklusiv auf der Deluxe-Edition des aktuellen Albums “Die Unendlichkeit” enthalten, ist eine deutschsprachige Coverversion des Songs “Flexible Flyer” von Hysker Dü.

Tocotronic vs. Console - Freiburg V3.0 - Und wenn wir schon bei anderssprachigen Coverversionen sind: Im Jahre 2000 remixte die Electronic-Band Console den Tocotronic-Klassiker “Freiburg” im Electro-Stil und mit englischem Text. Console war ursprünglich ein Soloprojekt von Martin Gretschmann, der bis 2014 bei der Band The Notwist für die Elektronischen Elemente zuständig war. Ihr kennt ihn vielleicht auch unter dem Namen “Acid Pauli”.

Tocotronic - Jugend ohne Gott gegen Faschismus - Nach “Hoffnung” im März ist jetzt auch die zweite Single aus dem im Januar 2022 erscheinenden Album “Nie wieder Krieg” erschienen. Eine weitere Tocotronic-Hymne für einsame Jugendliche (und gegen Faschismus). Und obwohl alle Bandmitglieder mittlerweile über 50 sind, klingt sie überhaupt nicht peinlich. Nur: Hören die Jugendlichen von heute überhaupt noch Tocotronic?

Phantom/Ghost - The Beautiful Fall - Dirk von Lowtzow ist nicht nur Sänger und Gitarrist von Tocotronic, er hat auch ein Nebenprojekt: Phantom/Ghost, zusammen mit Thies Mynther. Ursprünglich wollten die beiden einfach nur John Cale Songs zusammen spielen, daraus wurde jedoch ein experimentelles Musikprojekt mit englischen Texten.

Yuki Kajiura - Credens justitiam - Vom Soundtrack des Anime “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”, was quasi Neon Genesis Evangelion aber mit Magical Girls ist. Der Text klingt zwar vage italienisch/latein, ist aber auf der von Yuki Kajiura erfundenen Kunstsprache “Kajiurago”, die eigentlich nur eine freie Anordnung von Silben ohne Bedeutung ist.

Enno Bunger - Weiter So! - Passend zum Global Climate Strike am 24. September hat Enno Bunger einen satirischen Song zur Klimapolitik veröffentlicht. Die Botschaft dahinter: Es darf kein “weiter so” geben.

Der Junge mit der Gitarre - Meer sehn - Einst sah es so aus, als hätte Tobias Schacht alias Der Junge mit der Gitarre eine große Karriere vor sich. Die Bravo kührte ihm zum “Newcomer des Monats” und beim Bizarre-Festival wurde er auf Händen getragen. Doch seine polarisierenden Texte sorgten auch für massive Kritik, die teilweise bis hin zu Gewaltdrohungen führte. 2004 zog er sich aus diesen Gründen für immer aus dem Musikgeschäft zurück und ist heute als Journalist und Redakteur t��tig.

Darkstar - Ostkreuz - Eine Musikempfehlung, die Dirk von Lowtzow in seinem Buch “Aus dem Dachsbau” abgegeben hat. Ich muss ihm dabei beipflichten, das Lied ist wirklich gut.

Edwin Rosen - mitleerenhänden - Nach über einem Jahr im Musikgeschäft und einer restlos ausverkauften Tour hat Edwin Rosen nun seine digitale Debüt-EP veröffentlich. Sie enthält vier bisher veröffentlichten Songs und den neuen Song “mitleerenhänden”. Zeitgleich hat er auch eine neue Tour angekündigt, die ihn im Februar 2022 in 11 Städte in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz führen wird. Fünf Konzerte davon sind bereits ausverkauft.

Kevin & Paul - “Die Wunderbaren Jahre” Putting The Morr Back In Morrissey 2000 IDM

Kevin & Paul is not a duo, but rather one person. That one person is Germany’s Martin Gretschmann, who has a few claims to fame. From 1997 to 2014, he was lead programmer for the German indie rock band The Notwist. During that time, he also fronted an electronic / indie rock project called Console. And as a solo artist, he performs under the name Acid Pauli, producing a variety of electronic subgenres like house, techno, tech house, deep house, and ambient. Needless to say, he’s had his fingers in a lot of pies.

In the year 2000, Gretschmann didn’t release much music (not to say he wasn’t working on anything, but his name wasn’t attached to much that year). Console released two singles, and under the name Kevin & Paul, a name Gretschmann hasn’t used since, he created this nifty IDM track for Berlin indie electronic label Morr Music.

This glacially-paced, progressively building piece of IDM sees Gretschmann mixing a bunch of different blips, ticks, and clicks with a handful of different synth melodies. Beginning with soft, reverberating bass tones, he slowly incorporates minuscule IDM sounds, and then proceeds to insert his chilly synth melodies. One sounds somewhat like a bell and plays leas while the other two complement. Towards the end, the bell synth drops and an icy, eardrum-tickling synth takes its place.

If you’re in America right now, you’re probably freezing your tits off. And lucky for you, this song gives off a freezing tits vibe.

The Notwist (pronunciado /ˈnoʊ.twɪst/).

En 1990 grabaron su debut homónimo, un LP con orientaciones grunge-metal. 1992 vio el lanzamiento de Nook, con sonido indie rock, mientras que en 1995 lanzan "12", su primer flirteo con la música electrónica. Martin Gretschmann se unió entonces al grupo en 1997. Shrink, lanzado en 1998, es un álbum de jazz-electro-rock. En 1998 Cynthia Dall elabora las vocales para "Torture Day". El álbum Neon Golden (lanzado en 2002) le pone en el mapa de la audiencia estadounidense, puesto que tiene un sonido más cálido y más orientada al pop.

Acid Pauli - Abbebe (Sainte Vie Remix) by Ouïe https://ift.tt/2b0asS7 https://ift.tt/2inUR3Y https://ift.tt/1PI8U2e https://ift.tt/2j3Gthi https://ift.tt/2gW0mGX https://ift.tt/2inyrQB Acid Pauli
BLD Remixes A Acid Pauli’s second album 'BLD' dropped earlier this year to a rapturous reception. Martin Gretschmann’s trippy opus took in various stops around the musical spectrum, yet remained committed to quality dancefloor tracks that refuse to follow any particular rule book. This collection of remixes of the album's A side (hence the name) only adds to that achievement - bringing yet more new flavours and takes from some of the most exciting names in the underground. 'Abbebe' gets a rework from Sainte Vie who brings his trademark ‘multicultural electro’ sound to the album's opener, and produces an ecstatic mid-paced groover for the heads. Oceanvs Orientalis drops a similarly exciting rerub, finding new angles and dimensions to the track 'Baris'. Tel Aviv’s Red Axes turn up the psychedelica for the duo’s amazing dissection of 'Ayam' - deep sounds immersed in acidic tones and tight-yet- wonky arrangements. Lastly 'Majid' gets the treatment from label co- head Nico Stojan who produces a sleek and spacy remix that will delight the early morning ravers. Ouïe006 12" & digital 17.11.2017 Tracklist: A1. Abbebe (Sainte Vie Remix) A2. Baris (Oceanvs Orientalis Remix) B1. Ayam (Red Axes Remix) B2. Majid (Nico Stojan Remix)

Kalabrese | Desperate Man feat. Khan (Canson Ray Of Hope Remix) by rumpelmusig !!! These are stripped-down 192mp3 snippets of the original tracks!!! Artist: Kalabrese Title: Remixes EP Cat.-No.: rump004-1/-3 Releasedate: 11th July 2014 Format: 12" / Download DJ quotes: Seth Troxler: WHAT A PACKAGE, Kalabrese one of my all time fave producers mix with the legend himself Herbert thank you. Canson does it for me here Agoria: Bombs! Axel Boman: wow! Quite amazing remix package! I love it all but the Herbert one is so crazy wonderful! Mario Basanov: So Great! Manu Le Tough: Great package! Anja Schneider: Really like Frank's Remix ! Rampue: just wow! Tim Sweeney: So good! Jimpster: Top notch remixes from all here! Hard to choose a fave between Acid Paulis' and Frank's. Adam Port: Whole pack is really nice and very deep. Luke Solomon: wow - amazing remix package! Reboot: Herbert RMX is great ! Tracklisting: a1: „Desperate Man“ feat. Khan (Matthew Herbert Mix) (7:27) a2: „Wanzka“ (Acid Pauli Remix) (6:05) b1: „Stone On Your Back (Frank Wiedemann Remix) (6:32) b2: „Desperate Man“ feat. Khan (Canson Ray Of Hope Mix) (7:27) digi bonus: „Desperate Man“ (Matthew Herbert Instrumental) (7:27) Info: In may 2013 the long-awaited second album by zurich resident production master kalabrese was released and inspired again the dance community. an unique musical piece made for independent sensitive dancers and listeners. now, a remix ep is released with re- interpretations from the album. and the handpicked producers got down to work just as respectful and musically passionate, all appreciating the „rumpel magic“. matthew 'indemnity' herbert runs against the storm with his „desperate man“ version and sparks a rolling fire of distortion synthesizers and blazing pads and voices. a peak-time bomb becoming also a whisky song à la tom waits as later the night gets. martin gretschmann aka acid pauli remains slenderly, takes away the euphoria of „wanzka“’s afro and rotates about some synthesizer-modules and a groove as dry as dust, the afterhour isn ́t far away... âme’s frank wiedemann masterly unrolls the dub and focusses on the solid choir of „stone on your back“. a strong massive track, fairly arousing, but also hugging the dancefloor and pointing to everybody’s hearts. a canson remix completes the ep. the producer from zurich helped himself from kalabrese’s huge treasury filled with dozens of files and put a backing voice in the center of the hypnotic groove, he treats the harmonies oft he original very carefully. a strong and independent remix ep that shows again, how full of potential kalabrese’s songs are and how incredibly relaxed the remixers dealt with them.

    Art is Madness that peeps out. There are those who first generate the spectrum and then match the composition to it, those who link one album to the next with alphabetic subtleties, and those who build a tale within the tracklist titles.

   L'arte è Follia che fa capolino. C'è chi prima genera lo spettro e poi ci accorda la composizione, chi lega un album al successivo con finezze alfabetiche, e chi con la scaletta brani ci costruisce una storia.
