Majestic amateurish punk rock from Frankfurt Der Durstige Mann, everyone knows, everyone loves them. Who does not know a single tone becomes yet 100% a fan. ''Himmel & Hölle'' is by far the oddest album they have produced. It includes a Beatles cover 'Little Child' and has many beautiful short songs and the sound quality had prosaicness charakter. Side 2 consists almost entirely longer pieces. For "Monotons Traum" Mark was recorded thirteen minutes at snoring and the result was backed by wild tone-impressions... ("We needed something to make up for the full plate!") Well, is this avantgarde? The record is pressed in flashy colored vinyl. All together, the publications of Eric († 20.01.2016) and syndicate members are great fun an amount.
Hello, can you possibly reupload this LP? I would be grateful for it!
ReplyDeletefixed - ENJOY!
DeleteThank you! I recently learned that Eric Hysteric did German language covers of both sides of the 1978 debut single by Australian punk band The Last Words. First was "Animal World" ("Tierwelt" on this LP), and later "Wondering Why" ("Frag Mich Warum") was covered by Eric Hysteric and the Esoterics.
ReplyDeleteYeah, in 1980 Eric went to the studio in London with Andy Groome and Leigh Kendall from the Australian punk pioneers Last Words. One result was the album "Drive You Crazy" (in the Blog) released under the name Eric Hysteric & The Esoterics + is one of the unrecognized masterpieces of pop music. Not a single weak song, performed uncompromisingly, heartbreaking. Let me know if the links down if you shouldn't have them.
