Music/text by Andreas Ammer, FM Einheit, Ulrike Haage and many others
Overall impression: good. This cd is the 3rd "radio
opera" by Ammer / Einheit for Invisible Records, the other two being
"Deutsche
Krieger" and "Radio
Inferno". This one is the same as the others, a bizarre patchwork
of samples, bleeps, beats, percussion, spoken text (in various languages)
and operatic vocals. Although I'm not absolutely certain about the story
being presented, I believe they're drawing a parallel between the adventures
of Homer and Ulysseus to those of the manned space explorations of the
1960's. Another interesting cd, but not one I'll listen to too often. To
be honest, I'm looking forward to an album that is more representative
of the type of music FM Einheit was performing with his band on the Invisible
Records "Lowest
of the Low" tour.
