Der Plan "Die letzte Rache" (MP3)

Wiederveröffentlichung des begehrten Albums der berühmten 3 von 1984. Als Filmmusik des neocaligarischen schwarz-weiß Kultfilms von Rainer Kirberg ist diese Scheibe für viele die interessanteste, geschlossenste, vielseitigste und experimentellste Arbeit von Der Plan. Eine großartiges Erlebnis düster-athmosphärischer Instrumentierungen und schriller Melodien, die dabei gleichzeitig von Ohrwürmern durchsetzt sind.

With 36 tracks clocking in at 40 minutes, this 1983 album by these
German loons did little to dispel already prevalent Residents comparisons. But who cares? Short songs, silly voices, ever-inventive pop-cultural references; if only The Residents always made records this good! With a far wider musical palette than the Post-Fab Four ever had at their disposal (including leader Kurt "Pyrolator" Dahlke's use of early Emulator 1 sampling technology), Der Plan pioneer the sounds and styles that we've recently become acquainted with via the works of Momus, Etienne Charry and Bertrand Burgalat. Everything is possible! Recorded as the soundtrack for an experimental film (title translates as "The Last Revenge", dir. Rainer Kirberg) the album functions essentially as something of a one-penny opera.
Well, that's my two cents, anyway! Don't hesitate. [JG]
