NEU!

“Hallogallo” is an innovative instrumental landscape representing a feeling of freedom and exploration in a fast car on the open road. “Hallogallo” is a play on a German slang term for wild partying which is fitting for this fun and expressive piece, with no need for lyrical expression. “Hallogallo” features Klaus Dinger’s flawless “motorik” drumbeat (characterized by straightness), back looped electronics, and Michael Rother’s sonic guitar pedal effects emphasized by the expressive wash of sound that plays in and out of aural senses. In the early 1970s there was a rising concern whether technology would be to our advantage or disadvantage in the future. “Hallogallo” is an optimistic expression of whatever lies ahead on the road, and we got this!
