PETTIBON, RAYMOND/OTOMO YOSHIHIDE/OLIVER AUGST/CHRISTOPH KORN/RUDIGER CARL - Long Live The People Of The Revolution

"The point of origin for the radio play _جø¬_??Long live the people of the revolution_جø¬_?? are the texts Bruno Sch_ɬ_nlank and Ernst Toller wrote in the\r\n1910s and 1920s for the revolutionary speaking choirs which were part of the communist labour movement. Here, Otomo Yoshihide_جø¬_??s manipulations of those original recordings meet Raymond Pettibon_جø¬_??s captivating lyrics. His revisions and translations of those utopian pieces recall the texts of his drawings and paintings, also known since his collaborations with bands like Black Flag and Sonic Youth.\r\nBoth are supported by the fabulous Frankfurt based trio Blank which consists of free-jazz legend R_ɬºdiger Carl, Oliver Augst and Christoph Korn who both work in the grey are between improvised music, electronic music and free noise. Together with Yoshihide and Pettibon they transform that apparently anachronistic combination of art and politics into a highly challenging, at the same time touching piece of art.The design of the labels and the stunning silkscreen-cover is by Raymond Pettibon. Thanks to one of the most unique collaborations in contemporary art and music, both musically and textually _جø¬_??Long live the people of the revolution_جø¬_?? is without doubt a masterpiece. The vinyl-only release is limited to 400 copies." - Eventuell.
