no i don't miss yeah i don't


"The birds sing outside their bare melody They sing as if conscious of companionship, now alone as if to the pale blue sky;. They sing passionate songs adressed to one ear only and then stop." Virginia Woolf

"This is all sky, but other than home at the top are birds that hang upside down in several varieties wind course, you all can not exchange the sun is shining, but it's not the sun.. It is the moon. When in fact it was night? " Dietmar Dath


Heike Aumüller sits on the floor, making music, singing listen in a type of English Which can only be understood by people who. Those who look, who want to see music, do not see anything at all And they feel nothing. John Frisch fondle his double bass like Kate Bush did in her video to "Babooshka". But while Kate Bush did not play, does fresh while simultaneously playing around with it, winding himself around the instrument - 1-0 for the venerably aged jazz musician. On the other side sits Thomas Weber, bent over his guitar, occasionally operating the electronics in front of him, while his other hand is being played by the guitar. Again and again, it drags the other hand towards the instrument - it's as simple as that. The audience has to want to listen and not only see. Those who can see, see the art of Heike Aumüller Which graces the cover. What one sees there is strong and vulnerable at the same time. Anyone who has ever watched a Bruce Willis action movie will know the sentence that Willis - suddenly more than just muscles and smiles - utters to the obligatory child (or woman, anyway, something to rescue): "Of course I'm afraid."
What do we learn from this? Those who make themselves vulnerable become strong. The Chamber has made itself Kollektief strong, had made itself strong even before it merged into a band and then as a band, is even grew stronger. And more vulnerable. Where the music used to be beautiful, it now became powerful and momentous. Dietmar Dath speaks the truth when he suggests that one should listen to the music loud - because Thus it gains even more depth.

The chamber Kollektief is emotive and impassioned. It is also as lucid and precise as those moods Which Robert Musil (who is above suspicion of a being a Romanticist) called "daylight mysticism. The lyrics and the music want to be heard, they want to be explored, even suffered. Sound builds Which songs are made of sounds, and yet they 're no longer songs.

Wild Ling "is the trio's strongest and most vulnerable album to date. It is a solipsist, Which floats solitary in its own space, somewhere between the orbits of jazz, kraut rock, pop and bright This space is an earthly heaven, Which we are permitted to inhabit - if we only can hear, with our ears as well as our heads.
