GARP. Olga cassette
1996 sounds so close, at least for me it does not. Not true, of course, because ages ago. At that time, for example, was the English teacher Volker Ruhe the Secretary of Defense ("Favorite book: Catcher in the Rye"), the mainstream of minorities is about to get it on the red-green cocktail party of a kind digital and oddly enough, comfortably than Boheme interpretive army of occupation of twenty to . make No, 1996 was the world economic market is now strictly analogous in the Rhenish capitalism at home. And once the entertainment industry: Blur against Oasis on one side of the Atlantic, Pavement on the other coast. The supposedly clever GOLDIE listened and spoke of the end and the reformulation of pop-cultural sounds. Electro already inspired purely phenotypic one respect. And there were still bought CDs that the rind only as crashed! ...
That reads a bit today then everything unexcited as at that time. What is happening now technically and theoretically, in the meantime, should no further interest here, for the view from here must be omniscient point of view of the Internet 2.0 contemporaries judge in the province.
The province at that time was always good for mini-canonization - provided there was at least one horse. "Weilheim" with the Notwist, for example, or the "East Westphalia-Connection" to the orbit of SpeedNiggs following bands. "Bad Salzuflen" and the almost world-wide label as a still earlier example, shows the attribution of a certain quality, after a few high school students have searched the vast, the human out of this so incredibly desolate spot infirmity. No matter how it looks there, actually. The success of the band had a reversal of the situation results in the localization of particular sounds in place names. This was a popular figure of thought in the '90s.
without, however, remained the driving force of land as natural as unknown. Landshut, Verden, Memmingen, or Bad Oeynhausen, supposedly blank spots on the map, formed a cluster of Bedeutungslosigkeit.Das course continue to do today. But geographical origin is indeed now a dimension that really no longer really interested.
What remains to be determined after all these years: This exercise produced white spots, bands were ignored, were not the right time at right place. The created but in her local state a partially breathtaking sound. There they stood, there were!
The re-release of tapes of Olga GARP gives me great joy. A labor of love, indeed. The cassette is my faithful companion of the last fifteen years. At no time , the ravages of time given the enthusiasm demolition. Quite the contrary: Over the years, and all the intermediate disillusionment of bands that I liked and then I became more and care less, I knew in this case: This tape is great. I have to smile to this day at the point in employing the Jew's harp, or absorbed by the brass in their missions in dissonance. This is all so brave and jaunty, then all means carefree operation. It has humor and the great melody held, is smart, but never know-all. For me, a great moment, even if that only a handful of people have noticed, there in the province.
the past, people gathered at home always PAVEMENT out for comparison. But that said, never made anything like it today would mean nothing if you "post-punk" pronounce, or "Gang of Four" is called as a comparison. I saw in the tape always throw a giant in terms of good pop songs. And funny enough, you can now read the songs from contemporary glasses just totally different. Pavement? Yes, maybe, but only if they then three days before television personalities who have (something) is later WIRE and Orange Juice. The first two bands have reformed themselves, the latter in those days were completely republished (and rightly so). What does this tell us? The zeitgeist is a gummy mass that can be extended over twenty years.
The tape is here. Or sales X-MIST RECORDS
There are 50 numbered copies. And it looks with the cats-and gold-painted labels from all wonderful.
This is the perfect tape. It would be a shame if it would only be heard by so few people.
