LP: six (LP: sechs) Vinyl / LP 1986
In 1984 appeared the LP "Our Debut." The Musical theme of this production was
the direct adoption of the current impulse of a number of underground and
independent bands longing for "breakthrough," "commercial success," "hit."
Accordingly the music on "Our Debut" should sound anxious, willful, intense,
ambitious, pushy, and at the same time commercial. The counterpart appeared two years later. The LP "six" (1986) was the
opposite: "uncommercial," "autonomous," "experimental" and "maladjusted." Here
not popular but electronic music is suggested. In fact, the music of both
LPs developed at the same time in a studio in Düsseldorf. Both albums are
constructed so that they correspond to one another in music, text and
arrangement and comprise a unity if one plays them at the same time from the
first piece on, on two record players with their respective A- or B-sides. The
parallel pieces are the same length to the minute, from one track to the next,
and offer a variety of textual, musical and semantic interactions. By playing
both LPs together the invisible fifth LP, an immaterial LP
emerges in the mind of the listener. |
