Werkbund ‎- Skagerrak




This is an LP released on Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien in 1987. As the good lady has pointed out, we have no clue who was actually involved in this. Ulrich Rehberg is most frequently connected but I assume it's because he ran the label and most of the output appeared there. I'm sure he knows but not many others do. This a tormented piece of work but there are parts of this that could sit nicely within the Helena Hauff tape I posted a while ago ...

I would also like to take the opportunity to categorically deny that neither myself nor Mrs Inside were involved in either Mechthild von Leusch or Werkbund. Well, that should clear everything up then!

Hi, Badgerstump! Maybe you have in your treasures Fish Eye Lens ‎– Live - 1991 "The Buddha Sessions"?

Asmus Tietchens is involved, even when he denies to be part of the Werkbund at all.

When I had some time, I was listening to some older works by Asmus and made a very strange experience.

Compare two tracks:

Rungholter Tanz 27 by Mechthild von Leusch
("Aith Ochnal, Rungholter Tänze, Zweites Buch")

with

Paranoide Reflexe by Asmus Tietchens
("Aus Freude Am Elend")

The first one is a more harmonized and sped up version of the Paranoide Reflexe track. The structure will become more clear when you reach the second half of the Reflexe piece, and then compare directly with the Leusch piece.

Apart that, the run-out section of the Skagerrak LP carries a very telling etching: "Tina Tuschemess fecit 1987"

Tina Tuschemess is an anagram for Asmus Tietchens, fecit is latin and stands for: made it.
