When talking about a German Klaus from the eighties one usually refers to Kinski. This Klaus has got equal moments put on vinyl but on celluloid. Bothe mediums (vinyl and film) derive from acetate and if I knew anything about chemistry I would post some weird chemical formulas about the musical origin of species.

This album sounds like a journey through Time with Time being another dimension but length, width and height. Time that has actually gone beyond (=reference to avantgarde!) a simple dimension from being an encapsulated thingy. If one had to define Time in reference to this album one could go with: 'Time is frozen love.'

You can find pieces of baroque operas, kinky tunes from the 80ies, funky umpapa-pop and great moments of romantic zack-zack-smash-rock. If Marlene Dietrich, Freddy Mercury and Klaus Kinski had a son/daughter, he/she would sound like this piece of frozen love.
