‘abermals’ by sieg der liebe was basically written and recorded in 1997 by andreas koslik and me raabenstein. you may wonder why this record had never been officially released – well, a clever answer would be ‘good things take their time’ – however, this only indicates half the truth. this very special combination of spoken word and music did not quite fit the contemporary taste of those days. let’s simply say it was ahead of its time for several reasons…

back then, german language was largely used in the hip hop genre but not in this poetic recitation form, and – talking about genres – the compositions on this album embraced a wide spectrum of diverse styles, r’n’b, hip hop, jazz, reggae, electronica, classical instrumentation and crackling experimental parts, very infrequent and different in the late nineties.  listening to the album fifteen years after its actual production ‘abermals’ exudes a fresh and timeless quality, slightly reworked and digitally remastered for your aural delight.

enjoy the melody !!!

you know I have a soft spot for pretty much all nonine releases, and this album justifies those feelings, will debut it on the show this weekend…

… zwar haben ein paar der lieder aufgrund des textes bei mir persönlich … spuren hinterlassen ABER das ist ja auch einer der punkte, die GUTE kunst durchaus ausmachen sollte; spalten. dieses album ist wirklich herausstechend und hat schon deshalb gehör verdient, sehr gut !!!
