"Kraftwerk" and "Einstürzende Neubauten" - why bands like that are the first names you get when you think about german music? I mean they are not bad. They inspired Autechre and Aphex Twin. At the moment I like Cylob and Astrobotnia very, very much. The new Autechre album "Quaristice" sounds a bit like a boring chillout session from Plaid. But Plaid are not what Warp speaks about them. They aren´t so good as many people say. Mike Paradinas is good and Aphex Twin will always stay good. People like him we need. But Einstürzende Neubauten make industrial and they did a album with Christiane F. Blixa Bargeld, he lived for months together with Christiane in Kreuzberg, Berlin. Then her book came out and she was a star and that made Einstürzende Neubauten more famous than they were. As a child I liked them very much. Type O Negative, Megadeath, Pearl Jam and Guns N´ Roses were my heroes. But the music from today isn´t so interesting. We in germany have nothing special at the moment. Joy Division were so good. I wish we have in future again something like a real musicscene. At the moment we just have this superstar-shit everyone is talking about in america, england, spain, italy, french, germany and every other corner on this planet. You know, now, music just is about money. In the past music was about music, revolution and soul. Motown and vintage soul was also very good. Anita Baker and Gladys Night are really good soulsingers. Celine Dion and Mariah Carey can leave when Anita and Gladys start singing, you know, it was music. Real music. I don´t care if it´s deathmetal, IDM, 4AD, Gabber, Rock, Hip Hop, Techno or classic - it has to be real and authentic. But today it isn´t real and authentic at all. You just see sexy and beautiful models with a micro. Beautiful woman are nice, but when I want to feel emotional and hear music, I don´t want to see a girl that make´s me shake my dick! I want to listen to good music. When I want to see beautiful sexy woman I visit EuroBabeIndex and there I even see them naked!
