    Front Line Assembly – WarMech – 2018

    I can almost hear him say … “Mazze, why are you writing about old shit again?” O.k. the album is already 5 years old but as I liked it from listening to it for the first time some day ago … Front Line Assembly is the child of canadian musician Bill Leeb who once used…

    Skinny Puppy – Remix Dystemper – 1998

    Well, this one was lying around for many years now and I don’t know why I didn’t listen to this remix album earlier. As those familiar with my musical taste know Skinny Puppy are one of my all-time favourite bands/projects so I had to buy this one as soon as I got aware of it.…

All three somehow met. Somewhere. And decided to play this record. The Text on the rear of the record reads as: 中心の決意が 自分の中で 何度も何度も何度も 砕け散る事に 限りない歓びを 覚えよfeel the ultimate joy…

  • CAN – Ege Bamyasi – 1972

    CAN – Ege Bamyasi – 1972

    Die in meinen Augen beste deutsche Band sind CAN aus Köln. Es mag Menschen geben dieser Aussage skeptisch bis ablehnend gegenüber stehen … das ist mir aber egal, denn ich habe meine Gründe … warum also diese Festlegung bezüglich CAN meinerseits? Einen ersten Hinweis liefert dieses Album. Mein erstes Album von CAN ist eine, 1989…
