Lion’s Drums full length exists as an exploration in multiple dimensions. First by challenging the notion of the album format by presenting a body of work that lies snuggly between remixes, edits and original works and secondly as a means to delve into the transcendent potential of the drum. The album sets the tone by putting these two concepts fully on display with its hypnotic chant, swaying one into ease over the first two songs. In orderly cue folding and unfolding, meditatively through, melodies as muddied pastelle whispers cast over the measured language of the drum. Breaking away from the musing themes of the opening songs we find an ecstatic ritual in "Tanz der Körperlinge" and "Journey to Middle Earth”, two distinct varieties but both of the same perennial species. Inky ether seeps back in through the second half of the album with a peak of frenzied tumbling toms and incongruous textures hovering above in the Manos Tsangaris’ collaboration “Crying Tafel” and his re-imagining of Tullio De Piscopo’s unhinged drum excursion “Fastness”. The closing exemplifies the edit/remix/original ethos proposed for this work with Lions Drums drawing from tapes and original material of electronic pioneers Suzanne Ciani and Roberto Musci. Drawing from unreleased music and song sketches by the original artists as well as field recordings from travels & studio sessions made by Roberto Musci & Manos Tsangaris in the 80's and early 90’s he constructs a side winding journey through playful textures and ethereal moods.

LAYER #233 | Benjamin Fröhlich

Originally released in Germany in 1986 and without any intro, hence the little edit

Rough translation of the lyrics:

Hello Carl, how are you?
Thank you, I am fine, I’ve just joined a new company which gives me renewed strength,

Staff work like crazy, I bag all the money, just take it easy, let work be work,
Now I’ll fly to Paraguay, bring the millions with me, there I’ll buy a plot of land, I’m a big hit,

I won’t pay no more taxes, that’s just stupid to me, I’ll travel around the world, I won’t lift a finger,

1, 2, 10 workers, me on the career ladder, on first name terms with politicians,
Corruption, corruption, corruption is meant to be a part of it

1, 2, 10 million, the tax authorities will leave me alone because I create jobs and secretly laugh about government subsidies.

Korruption Gehört Dazu (Tom Bolas DJ-friendly Edit)

New Born is a group of four Italian immigrants who all lived in the area around Ulm/Bavaria.

Primarily they sang more Italian songs and were more on the traditional side of Italian music.

This record is a perfect example of what can happen when the drummer says “Let´s jam” to the musicians. The outstanding track “Galaxy” came out, the vibe of it is like an early piano house track and a hybrid of cosmic and disco.

The original copy of the record is nowadays a highly requested collector´s item, that skyrocketed in terms of prices. Originally released as a 45 single in 1981 the record was pressed in a very small run. Try to find a unicorn it’s easier.

We decided not to do only a simple reissue of it, we asked the creme de la creme of cosmic disco to make us a new born version of the track “Galaxy”. Camp Cosmic aficionados Albion & Alexander Arpeggio are responsible for two mesmerizing versions of this song. On top, we pressed the whole record as a 12″ from the original master tapes.
