Unsere Yamaha CS5, die mein Onkel damals in der DDR von den Puhdys gekauft hatte, war das erste Instrument, auf dem wir Lärm machen durften. Später wurde sie still und heimlich weitergegeben – und war bereits bei Kermat Attack im Einsatz. Leider wurde die ursprüngliche CS5 verkauft. Aber irgendwie konnte ich nicht ohne sie auskommen. Die alte Yamaha kehrte mit einem neuen Ebay-Fund zurück, angeblich frisch gewartet von Kraftwerk-Technikern. Heute ist sie ein fester Bestandteil der Testbild Klangwerkstatt und unserer musikalischen Wurzeln. 🎹✨

Erst schaue ich auf Gleichungen über den Anfang von allem.
Dann stehe ich hinter dem Schlagzeug.
Für mich ist es das selbe Staunen, dass aus Schwingung Ordnung wird.

“I’ll take ‘Perfect From Start To Finish Albums’ for a thousand, Alex.”

“This Scottish #alternative #powerpop band from the #90s invented penicillin, and somehow also managed to record an absolute masterpiece called Bandwagonesque…. ROGER?”

“Who are the Venga Boys?”

“No. Don’t be an asshole, Roger. SCOTT?”

“Who are Teenage Fanclub?”

“Correct.”

JOSEF PLIVA & THE VACLAV ZAHRADNIK ORCHESTRA
Fairy-Tales In Beat
1971 Czechoslovakia pressing

A bit of a curveball for you; one I haven’t heard in a long while.

Late #60s #psychedelic sunshine pop with orchestral arrangements and packed by fairy tale lyrics.

It’s got a bit of a whimsical musical theatre quality with a trippy #60s psych twist.

Think of a lighter, more theatrical Odyssey and Oracle, maybe?

I don’t know man.

Whatever it is, I find it charming and kinda cool.

TRIPPING DAISY
I Am An Elastic Firecracker
2022 Europe MOV reissue

A legendary band for me, & another horrifically underrated act of the #90s .

This record (& the band in general) is mostly remembered for the novel “I Got A Girl”, but the album (& band) was much deeper & complex than that one quirky, lucky hit.

Super #psychedelic guitars, wonderful melodies, & an incredible live act.

To this day, they’re still one of the greatest live shows I’ve ever seen.

Back in 1995, local #ProvidenceRI station 95.5 WBRU threw their “Birthday Bash”; 16 artists across 3 RI venues over one weekend, featuring the likes of Blind Melon, Belly, Supergrass, Shudder To Think, Tripping Daisy, Paw, and Ben Folds Five to name just a few.

What I saw Tripping Daisy do that weekend blew my mind. I had been a fan of them since their 1st record Bill, but was NOT expecting that.
Amazing band.
Great record.

VELVET CRUSH
Teenage Symphonies To God
2023 U.S. reissue

Another beautiful day on the island calls for some bright, note-perfect #powerpop .

One of the most underrated records of the #90s , & band I saw live several times back in the day, due to them being from #ProvidenceRI .

#BostonMassachusetts was 60 mins in one direction, Providence an hour the other way. I was super lucky in that I got to experience the best of both cities on numerous occasions.

I fell in love with the likes of Velvet Crush and Six Finger Satellite via the abundant live experiences, and was already well seasoned before their now classic records ever came out.

This album is front-to-back stellar. One pristine gem of a power-pop song after another. It reminds me of all those nights in Providence going to Lupo’s and The Strand, seeing everybody and anybody playing a show there, locally and nationally.
