Opis:
Following the first two singles by Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle from 1980 and 1981, as well as their debut LP Sturmer and the 1982 EP Magic Moments, a-Musik is now releasing Ca c'est le Blues, another of their early works, all of which were released on Alfred Hilsberg's legendary Zickzack label and have long since become rarities. Ca c'est le Blues was originally released in 1984 and marks nothing less than a milestone in F.S.K.'s already impressive discography. While numerous bands from the West German underground of the early 1980s, following the Summer of Pop of 1982 and the associated breakthrough of the Neue Deutsche Welle, either moved toward the mainstream or began singing in English, Justin Hoffmann, Thomas Meinecke, Michaela Melian, and Wilfried Petzi took a different path. The songs became more elaborate, the production -- influenced by bands like Gang of Four and Dexys Midnight Runners -- more opulent, and the instrumentation now included wind instruments for the first time, which have since become an integral part of F.S.K.'s sound. At the same time, the Munich-based band's music-historically motivated focus was directed more toward the US than was typical of the bands in the West German scene of that era. To their signature blend of post-punk and experimental music, as already evident on Sturmer, they now incorporated funk (on the opener ''Faire Le Chicken'') and jazz (on the heartbreaking cover version of ''My Funny Valentine''). From then on, this ''transatlantic feedback'' was an essential component of F.S.K.'s musical practice. The discursive twists and turns, the incorporation of references, and the insistence on German lyrics would influence bands in the coming decades, not just those of the ''Hamburg School.'' At the same time, the album features legendary hits by Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle which are still played at every concert to this day. With this reissue of Ca c'est le Blues, one of the most impressive releases in 20th-century German avant-pop history is finally available again. The reissue includes a comprehensive booklet featuring an in-depth interview about the album with all band members, as well as numerous previously unpublished photos.
