BLIXA BARGELD - Rede / Speech, February 11th, 2000, 11 p.m., 4th Radio Play Days, Freiburg, Germany (FM) - German version!

OK, here you go, something I had had in mind for torrenting for a long time: Blixa Bargeld's Rede / Speech as performed during the 4th radio play days in Freiburg, Germany. It's not the world premiere of it, as I was led to believe in the first place, but the 25th time he performed it (according to www.blixa-bargeld.com). A very enjoyable bit of history, not only because the 2006 performance torrented a few days ago was in English and this one is in German, but also because it is very good sounding, since it was was is an FM broadcast recorded by my humble self and from this very tape master I freshly transferred it today.

While I think that Einstuerzende Neubauten are one of the very few bands who managed to incorporate the German language in their music without sounding backward (thanks to the self-proclaimed German "folk" and "Schlager" musicians who are in fact responsible for the destruction of the German language in music!), I must say I prefer the English version of this. I'll leave it up to you to decide what you think, lucky you, however, who don't know any German and are therefore unbiased ;-)

A side note: make sure you check out the great movie "Die totale Therapie" if you haven't yet. Blixa plays the guru of a psycho-sect there and it's a lot of fun to see the situation get more and more out of control as the film progresses. It says a lot about our "esotheric" times full of people desperately looking for a subsitute to traditional religion, which is often bad enough already. The German language DVD version of it has got English subtitles!

To the mods: This is not the same as the DVD release of it which was filmed at Deutsches Theater, Berlin, Germany, May 23rd, 2003.

Lineage: Maxell XL II-S 90 tape master - Akai Reference Master GX-95 - ESI QuataFire 610 audio interface - Sound Studio 2.2.4 - Macintosh G5 - Sound Studion 2.2.4 (fade in/out / normalize) - Roxio Jam 6.0.2 (tracking) - Image - Roxio Toast Titanium 7.1 - FLAC (8) - Dime (you!)

En-fuckin'-joy!
