NEW RECORD

entitled SPIRITUALS (nonplace 18 CD/LP) release date 09.09.2005 The 4th FLANGER album is all about re-imagining a period when music was still playful in itself - because back then, there was just no reason to be too serious about it. Back then, people would come to call their songs Spirituals, for their inspiration to sing and play them came from above and would leave them in high spirits. Which was all the more reason to sing and play their songs. As Uwe Schmidt (aka Atom/ Señor Coconut), one of the two main players behind the Flanger project, put it, Spirituals goes back to a time when "music was recorded in an almost documentary manner, when such things as "production" and recording techniques and technology did not yet exist - and therefore did not influence the nature of the musical creation itself. One could define it as a musically naive period. historically the last time music contained something like an immaculate, innocent spirit." (A Japanese edition of SPIRITUALS will be released by HEADZ)
