Here's a very fine tape which is very good and brings the gray season closer back again. Founded in Salzwedel, they exist from 1985 - 1990, Rosengarten was a band from the underground scene of the GDR. Nucleus was the timeless music & fun project Art Of Steel (with Carstensson and Hilke), by addition of Thönert, Füchsel and Fütterer they were complete and changed their band name in Rosengarten (borrowed by the Bauhaus song "Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores"). Differences in fall of 1986 led to the departure of Carstensson and Helge and Marion Semlow joined the band. Rosengarten record until 1989 three extremely complex and legendary "Tape Albums" and in the last year of their existence only drummer Thönert of the original line-up was in. At the turn of the time most of the members had been settled in Berlin and the band broke up, there was not a public resolution confirmed but then there was no more news about the band, silence remains. So musically the band's at home in a melancholic, darker sound with partially theatrical lyrics, here with some live recordings and the keyboards come cumbersome accompanying I think and the singer is nice desperate and angry. I must say their sound is really catchy and it's a pity that no label has invited the ladies and gentlemen to gave them a chance for an album, Assholes!! More Rosengarten on tapeattack. Well, if you love music from V.V.L., Wegschaun...Gold, EA80 or Ende November then try Rosengarten and listen carefully. It's worth!!!
