Der Räuber Und Der Prinz

a 12'' full of music with a definite sense of place. Eerie synthesiser pulses, funk-infused drums and languid guitar-scapes have been part of the musical topology of Düsseldorf since the early Seventies: and this particular release pays full tribute to that legacy, with Jagd Auf Den Hirsch (''Hunt for the Stag'') comprising an eerie piece of swampy lazer-forest rock. This sound is also a modern day staple of Düsseldorf's nightlife at the Salon des Amateurs, a small bar attached to the Kunsthalle art gallery that is an oasis of hypnotic disco nightmares.
