A compilation of the most important Malaria recordings including "Emotion" LP, "New Yorck Passage" 12", "WASSER" 12", "How do you like my new dog" 7", "YouYou" 12" etc. 60 min music from one of Germany`s most important 80`s band.
"...teutonic, selfconfident, wild and emotional..."
Ecoute means listen, so take your time with this one: not an immediate seducer but a steady one, more subtile, melanchonic, noisy and difficult but convincing at the same time because of it's sadness and strong athmospheric power.
Three women on sampler, computer and microphone : Beate Bartel, Manon P. Duursma and Gudrun Gut, produced by Bartel / Gut / Klimek 1992 Berlin
".. timeless, haunting & melancholic..."
4-Track EP, Hosianna! celebration release of the reformed Malaria. Including "Old Man River" ( produced by Jim Thirlwell in New Orleans ) and the kind of 20` Berlin song "Flittchen" as well as "Elation" and "Slow Rotation"
The new recordings show a different light: still full of desire and passion but matured, floating and mellow: violins and cellos mixed with modern electronics and Bettinas powerful low voice. Produced by Johnny Klimek 1993 Berlin
Highly praised longplayer:
"...thats how pop music should sound today.."
"..electronic pop of the year 2000 - feminin, mysterious & erotic..."
CD including 16 page text booklet. Spoken word and music. Content: barbed satire, a warped landscape of aggressive female fantasies and romantic archetypes. "Laurie Anderson on Acid", Myra Davies (Vancouver, Words) and Gudrun Gut (Berlin, Music), products of different worlds and cultures, uncover shared memories in the common culture of the female psyche. Produced by Davies/Gut, Banff 1994
"..the listener is pulled back and forth between the seductivly irrational sensuality of the poetic imagery, electronic rhythmic music and the intellectual toughness at the core of the texts..."
MIASMA again deals with the dialectic between the individual personality in a specifically female context, and the influence of the western cultural heritage. In MIASMA 2 the humour is gentler, more all-embracing and less obsessive, less relentless. There is more generosity, more space in it both for the music and for the listener. But still it has sharp teeth and a kind of 'let's cut to the bone' attitude.
"......Deconstructed Fantasies: shared fantasies; deconstructed and reconstructed from our personal and distinctly female point of view......."
