'SPIEL!
THAT WAS WHAT WAS CALLED KRAUTROCK
PAR LES ARROGANT BRITISH
THE WAVE THAT CONQUERED LE MEILLEUR PART D'EUROPE
OUT OF THE SIXTIES
EXTENDING PSYCHEDELIA INTO THE REGIONS OF POSTMODERN AMBIANCE
JUST IN CASE OF SUNSET

KRAFTWERK DEBUTANT LE SHOW (…)
SUIVANTE ÉTÉ LES TANGERINE DREAMS OF EDGAR FROESE
SEMINAL PIONEER OF MODERN ELECTRONICA VERSUS STOCKHAUSEN
ACTIVE DEPUIS LES SIXTIES AS WELL
STARTING HIS CAREER AS A MEMBER OF THE  GREAT ROCK BAND THE ONES EN '65

(…)ET FINI LE SET AVEC UN OLDIE BY ENO AND CLUSTER
GERMAN EXPERIMENTAL PROG ELECTRO AMBIENT UNIT 
BY MOEBIUS AND RODELIUS AND OTHER DIVINITIES
THEY HAD MADE DEUX COLLABORATIVE ALBUMS AVEC BRIAN ENO
LES FINS DES ANNÉES SEVENTIES
OF ONE OF THOSE SIMPLY SELF-TITLED ON A TIRÉ LE TRACK DIE BUNGE
POUR VOUS L'ENTENDRE'

&

THE DIVIDING LINE WAS DRAWN THERE
WHEN THE FACTORY NOISE CAME IN THE  FOREGROUND
AS MUSICAL ELEMENT

WHEN YOU UNDERSTOOD 
THAT YOU CAN CREATE FACTORY NOISE BY MUSIC
THAN FROM THAT MOMENT ON
FACTORY NOISE ITSELF BECAME MUSIC
SO YOU COULD SAMPLE IT  IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TIME

NEW RACE
NEW RACE - NEW ATTITUDE

BECAUSE PSYCHEDELIA WAS STILL BASED ON NATURE NOISES
AND THEN YOU MADE IT ELECTRONIC
THEN IT DIDN'T SOUND NATURAL ANY MORE
SOUNDED ARTIFICIAL - EVEN THE BEST IMITATION OF IT ELECTRONICALLY
ELECTRONIC IMITATION OF THE GRASSHOPPER'S WHISTLE
IS NOT THE SAME  WON'T EVER BE THE SAME
AND EVERY GRASSHOPPER IS DIFFERENT ANYWAYS

&

ART IS SO PERSONAL TODAY
NOT AS THE CAVE PAINTINGS
THAT DON'T HANG ON THE WALL BUT ARE DRAWN ON IT
ON THE CAVE THAT HOLDS CENTURIES NOT LIKE A WEEKEND HOUSE

WE ARE TEMPORARILY HANGING PICTURES ON THE WALL
ON THE WALL OF THE MUSEUM
OR PAINT ON THE WALLS  OF THE COLLAPSING MUSEUM

NO NO NO NO
EVERY VISION IS FRAMED
SINCE VERY LONG - SINCE HOW LONG
WHEN THE FRAMING STARTED  WHICH AGE
THAT THEY BEGAN TO FRAME PICTURES
IN THE NEOLITHIC MAYBE  NEOLITHIC PALEOLITHIC

&

I LIKE TO PLAY THIS REALLY
I'M PROUD OF IT - IT'S MY BEST WORK

'SPIEL!
NOMMÉ APRÉS LA STADE FINALE OF YELLOW FEVER
BELGIAN DUO SINCE '89 AND STILL ACTIVE
VOMITO NEGRO ONT COMMENCÉ LE DEUXIÈM SET
AVEC LA TITRE PIÈCE DE LEUR DEBUT ALBUM THE NEW DRUG' 

SINCERELY  ISN'T IT A BLOODY SHAME THAT NOBODY LISTENS TO THIS
SO HOW IS IT - I'M DOING VIDEOS NOBODY SEES THEM
I'M DOING THE RADIO SHOW NOBODY HEARS THEM
WHERE AM I DOING IT
IT'S UNFAIR

&

BETWEEN THE MICROSCOPIC AND THE INFINITE
OUR PLACE IS VERY LIMITED
IT'S VERY NARROW - OUR EXISTENCE IS NARROW
MICROSCOPIC IS ALSO INFINITE  VIRTUALLY INFINITE
MICROSCOPIC AND MACROSCOPIC - WE ARE THERE
WHAT CAN WE DO

THESE BORDERS ARE CLOSED
ENHANCE IT TOWARDS INFINITY 
MEANS THAT YOU GET JUST MORE AND MORE INFINITE
THAT'S A CONTRADICTORY ADVANCEMENT

THESE THREE THINGS YOU ALWAYS CONFUSE
IMMORTALITY, ETERNITY, AND INFINITY
INFINITY, IMMORTALITY AND ETERNITY
ARE THREE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TERMS
SO DIFFERENT THEY DON'T EVEN FORM A TRINITY

&

I'M A WATCHER THROUGH TELEVISION
I'M ONE OF THE WATCHERS BUT I'M WATCHING THROUGH TELEVISION
NOT THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE SOUL

SOMETIMES I INTRUDE  UNRIGHTEOUSLY INTRUDE
BUT I'M NOT WATCHING THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE SOUL

&

IT'S HIS MELANCHOLIC SIDE  HIS MELANCHOLIC SIDE
THERE IS A FUNNY SIDE OF HIS AND A MELANCHOLIC SIDE OF IT
EQUALLY STRONG BOTH - PERFECT BALANCE MAN
RAYMOND SCOTT WAS A PERFECTLY BALANCED MAN
HE WAS PERFECTLY BALANCED

MORRICONE  MORRICONE IT'S ANOTHER CATEGORY
THE INFLUENCE OF MORRICONE ON THE HUMAN EARS
AND SOUL AND HEART  AND BRAINS AND MIND AND SPIRIT
WHAT ELSE - BODY
IS BEYOND COMPARE

&

THAT'S ALL THE WORD WANTS
THAT'S ALL THE WORD EVER WANTED FROM YOU
UNMSTAKABILITY

I HATE ROMANTICISM
I UNDERSTOOD - THAT'S WHAT'S KILLING ME
I AM ROMANTIC  I HATE ROMANTICISM

&

I'VE JUST REALIZED  PROBABLY TOO LATE
THAT ALL THE POWER IS IN THE FEET
IN THE SOLE OF THE FEET 
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT BEFORE

AND I DON'T HAVE THAT POWER
I DON'T HAVE POWER IN MY FEET AT ALL
THAT MUST BE MY PROBLEM
I WAS LOOKING FOR MY PROBLEM
AND I FOUND IT IN MY FEET

THAT'S ALIEN YOGA BY IT'S QUINTESSENTIAL

HOW YOU WALK AND HOW YOU TALK  WALK AND TALK
IT'S NOT JUST THE GREATEST RHYME - IT IS A VERITY
THE WAY YOU TALK AND THE WAY YOU WALK MATTER THE MOST
MORE THAN THE SYMMETRY OF THE FACE
BECAUSE FINALLY WE ARE A RHYTHM DEVICE

&

GRENDEL - IT'S A VERY VERY GOOD INDUSTRIAL BAND
NETHERLANDISH OF COURSE  NETHER  LAND
IT'S ALSO BECOMING A MUSLIM COUNTRY, RIGHT
ALL OF THEM - NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT IT  I UNDERSTAND
IF OSH DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT IT WHY SHOULD WE

I DON'T  I REALLY DON'T CARE
I DON'T CARE
I DON'T HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR VALUES
NOT EVEN FOR CARAVAGGIO  NOT EVEN FOR VAN GOGH
I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANY VALUE

NOW BABY NOW
IT'S GETTING GLOBAL  IT'S GETTING REALLY GLOBAL
THE BLOODTHIRST EPIDEMY
THE BLOODTHIRST  THE VAMPIRE
IT'S NO MORE A FICTION - IT'S NEVER BEEN A FICTION

IT WAS AN ALLEGORY BABY IT WAS AN ALLEGORY
I'M AN ALLEGORY BABY - I'M NOTHING BUT AN ALLEGORY
OF THE HUMAN RACE

&

SNOW-WHITE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FASCIST IMAGE
SNOW WHITE - ESPECIALLY AS INFILTRATED BY DISNEY
FASCIST GIRLS CALL THEMSELVES SNOW-WHITE
AT LEAST ONE I KNOW OF
IT HAS A RACIAL CONNOTATION

SNOW-WHITE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL
IN THE NIGHT  WHEN YOU'RE SNOW-WHITE
IN THE MOONLIGHT  WHEN YOU'RE SNOW-WHITE
IN THE NIGHT  IN THE MOONLIGHT
YOU FEEL  YOU FEEL VERY BRIGHT
VERY BRIGHT  WHEN YOU'RE SNOW-WHITE
IN THE MOONLIGHT OOO

&

BUT THIS IS ROMANTIC
AND I DON'T LIKE WHAT'S ROMANTIC
ROMANTIC COMES WITH HORROR
IT'S INEVITABLE
ROMANCE AND HORROR GO TOGETHER
YOU CAN'T SEPARATE THEM  OR IT BECOMES BORING

WE NEED A REASON
THE GOOD READER NEEDS A STORY
IT CANNOT BE NOUVELLE VAGUE

NOUVELLE VAGUE WAS VERY SENTIMENTAL
BUT IT WASN'T ROMANTIC PER SE
NOT EVEN THE GODARD'S
IT'S VERY SENTIMENTAL BUT IT'S NOT ROMANTIC
IN THE SENSE OF THE GRAVEYARD
IT'S NOT MORBID - MORBID CAME WITH THE GOTHICA

&

THIS IS AN OPPRESSED SALUTE
TRYING TO MAKE THE BACKWARDS MOTION
BUT YOU GLIMPSE SOMETHING

SO FROM THE FOUR FINGERS IT BECOMES TWO
AND THEN BECOMES ONE  POINTING

THAT'S GOOD TO ABSOLVE INCIDENTS
ESPECIALLY GOOD IN THE AUDIENCE RELATIONSHIP
IT'S SPONTANEOUS AND IT'S VERY ELEGANT
VERY VIOLENT TOO
HAS A MAGIC POWER TO IT

MAGIC POWER IS AUTOMATICALLY THERE
IN THE POINTING FINGER
WHEN IT CONSCIOUSLY POINTS
THE MAGIC IS HERE IN THE POINT
WHEN YOU CONSCIOUSLY POINT AT SOMETHING
ALL YOUR POWER GOES TO THERE
GOES TO THE POINT  WHAT YOU POINT AT

BECAUSE NORMALLY WE HAVE ELECTRICITY THERE
THAT CAN KILL RIGHT AWAY
NOW WE NEED GUNS AND OTHER EXTENSIONS
NORMALLY YOU CAN - YOU KNOW THAT
SAW ENOUGH  O-HOO-HA-HAY

&

"ICH SEHE MEINE LÜGE, ICH BIN NICHT BLIND GEBOREN
ICH LERNE AUS MEINEN FEHLERN
UND MACHE DARAUS EIN LIED"

IF I POINT AT IT IT SHOULD DIE

'SPIEL!
GERMAN PUNK ROCK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
FROM THE EARLY NINETIES ON VOUS A JOUÉ DANS CE BLOCK
STARTING AVEC DIE ÄRZTE 
SUIVI PAR BÖHSE ONKELZ  FROM HÖSBACH
METALLIC PUNKS FORMÉ EN 1980
TURNED NEO-NAZIS EN 1984
ET RESTÉ COMME ÇA JUSQ'A 2005
WHEN THEY FINISHED THEIR EXISTENCE
DE LEUR 1995 ALBUM SPIEL MIR DAS LIED VOM TOD
ON A ENTENDU ICH BIN SO WIE ICH BIN'

&

WHY THIS MEXICO HAS TO BE SUCH A HORRIBLE PLACE
WHY IT HAS TO BE A HELL ON EARTH
PRODUCING THAT FANTASTIC MUSIC - ABSOLUTELY DOESN'T MATTER
THE ART OF A PEOPLE DON'T INFLUENCE ANYTHING
THE ART OF A PEOPLE

EITHER YOU SEPARATE A PEOPLE 
BY THEIR ART OR BY THEIR BEHAVIOUR
THE MAJORITY BEHAVIOUR

IF YOU THINK ABOUT JAMAICA AS PETER TOSH
OR THE PEOPLE THAT KILLED HIM

I WOULD DROP ANYTHING ON THE LAND OF JAMAICA
TO AVENGE HIS MURDER
FOR ME IT'S AN AMBASSADOR'S SENSATION
I'M AN AMBASSADOR

IT'S UNAVENGED - BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE
NOBODY WANTS TO DO ANYTHING
I'M ALONE WITH THIS FOLLY OF VENGEANCE

&

AN ARTICLE TITLE I HAVE SEEN
AND IT SAYS: NO  NO
TO MEANING NO  SAY NO
NO TO THE RAPE ON CAMPUS

HERE IS THE REVOLUTION - THAT'S WHERE WE ENDED
THAT'S WHERE WE ENDED DARLING
IT'S THE END OF REVOLUTION 
NO TO RAPE ON CAMPUS

IT'S A WAR-CRY NOW  IT'S A WAR-CRY NOW
IT'S A QUESTION - YOU SAY YES OR NO
YOU SAY YES  WE SAY NO

&

NO I'M NOT GOING INTO THE DETAILS
OF HOW THE HELL WE GOT HERE
THIS IS MARTIAL LAW
HERE YOU NEED MARTIAL LAW NOT ELSEWHERE
NOT IN HUMAN RIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT

TO SAVE SEX - THAT'S WHAT MARTIAL LAW IS FOR
THE REST I DON'T CARE AT THIS POINT
MORE FOCUS - I NEED A FOCUS
THE FIRST THING FIRST - I DON'T SEE ANY WIDE NOW
I SEE THE MOST NARROW
TOTALLY NO-DIMENSIONAL  UNDIMENSIONAL

I DON'T NEED ROMANTICISM HERE - I DON'T NEED NOUVELLE VAGUE
I NEED MARTIAL LAW  MARTIAL LAW

&

'…TO THE WORLD'S AMBIENCE
FARSCAPE WAS REALIZED FROM SCHULZE'S SEPT HUNDRED MINUTES OF MUSICS

CELUI EST LA PART DEUX FROM DISQUE UN

TAKING THIRTY MINUTES FOR THE REST OF OUR PRECIOUS TIME
