Here is the story of one jumping-jack, lying about in some children’s room at night. With the last bell call towards witching hour he slowly becomes alive, starts to walk about, does a little dance, gives a little talk and at one o'clock he disintegrates again to a pile of wooden pieces, waiting for the pull on his strings...

Der Hampelmann - The Jumping-Jack

Der Wasseresel

This track represents an improvisation over a pretty spooky scenario as conjured up in a poem by German writer Christian Morgenstern.

"The MillsTone of Goltz" was a three-piece band consisting of Mario Palaschke on keyboards, Christoph Musil on bass and Gunther Benedict on drums. It evolved out of a bigger group (called "Hin und Wider"), that also included Othmar Eichinger on tenor sax plus Axl Hansal on guitar and lasted from about 1990 to 1994. Back then the bass player and the drummer, together with their families, were living in an old water mill, which also harboured the practice room and the musical facilities - hence the reference to a millstone! Most of the tunes came up in late night jams, based on particular topics one or the other member of the band suggested.  It was a thoroughly democratic ensemble – just the way it should be when everybody is ready to present his emotional innards to the outer world. Nothing is perfect here, but everything is heartfelt (some of the tracks are based on poems by Christian Morgenstern). Maybe there’s a chance to start it all over again…
For an optimum experience of our tracks the use of headphones is suggested.
Thanks for listening!
