van oehlen, rock & roll is here to die - bc10 cd

here we go -- a thumping, heavy-footed beat, a bass tending towards the liquid, a scratchy orchestral sample that brings to mind peter and the wolf, and mayo thompson's glee in singing an r for an r an eye for an eye rock and roll is here to die gone tomorrow albert and markus oehlen are back with rock and roll is here to die, and who's to say that they're not going to have a hand in finishing off the beast? the brothers oehlen are stellar, oft-decorated visual artists with a long history of thorny, helpful interventions into the world of music.

albert has been a red krayola mainstay and provocateur since the mid-1980s, and is also responsible for the leiterwagen label (j.b. slik, jailhouse, titankatzen, bullenterror), the new stream manifesto, and rumored to have something to do with the spate of wendy gondeln remixes.

markus drummed in the legendary german punk band mittagspause, and records for leiterwagen under the name don hobby. in the words of johnny cash, they've seen 'em come and go, and they've seen 'em die. it's true. but don't stop asking why. they were there as punk shaded into post-punk and scraped together the deutschmarks for an analog synth. they're still here as various reissues of daf, der plan, and palais schaumburg awaken in "new releases" sections and find themselves spun by electroclash djs. in this period of relative inactivity from the red krayola, give respect to van oehlen for placing a microphone in front of mayo thompson and letting him rip, as he does on "tunnel" (no apologies to ccr's "run through the jungle), "child," and the aforementioned, crowd-pleasing "r & r." (released march 2003)

van oehlen, we are eggsperienced - bc3 cd

if you think that the blue chopsticks horse is a fusty, knowledge-heavy nag who answers exclusively to the name "reissue label," behold van oehlen. van oehlen is the duo of albert and markus oehlen. albert is best known to listeners for his heavy, integral participation in the red krayola. he currently runs the leiterwagen record label -- rare thing, batting nearly a thousand? -- providing a home for the likes of jailhouse, j.b. slik, and titankatzen as well as the rearcar / rearprojection new stream compilations. albert is among the most heralded visual artists of his generation and has had retrospectives of his work at the wexner center for the arts, hamburg's deichtorhallen, and the kunsthalle basel. markus oehlen is known to listeners as as the drummer of the legendary german punk group mittagspause, as one- third of jailhouse, and as the leiterwagen solo artist don hobby. he is familiar to sharp-eyed souls as an exceptional visual artist, a veteran of numerous gallery and museum shows. (two of markus's drawings grace gastr del sol's camoufleur; the cover of we are eggsperienced is his.) we are eggsperienced features contributions from the red krayola's mayo thompson and tom watson as well as german jazz legend rüdiger carl (cowws quintet and various recordings for the fmp label) and goldenen zitronen frontman schorsch kamerun. what is new stream music? a draft of albert's new stream manifesto was circulated before the red krayola's first live performance of fingerpainting. new stream is not dissimilar to cold jazz, but counts among its progenitors the red krayola's free-form freakouts, "revolution no. 9," sun ra's most bracingly alien synthesizer solos, and the deep freeze mice at their least musical. (released february 2000)
