Ja,H17 lohnen immer und gerade die alten Sachen aus Human League-Zeiten krachen richtig gut.Dafür nehme ich sogar ihren gruseligen Funk in Kauf.
Habe die ja schon einmal in einer schäbigen Absteige in Köln und einmal hier im Rahmen eines Minimal-Festivals erlebt,wo die auch die jungen Wilden ziemlich zahm aussehen ließen,wenn sie richtig wuchtig loslegten.
Und Blancmange.......mit der Happy Families.Ein Traum wird wahr......
Und besagtes Album soll es ja angeblich auch irgendwann im Handel und als Download geben.......
Re-imagined and re-recorded: Blancmange's landmark 1982 debut "Happy Families" is to be performed in full during a November 2013 tour. It will be the first time that Blancmange takes the album to the stage in its entirety. To offer fans a new experience, "Happy Families" has been specially re-recorded by Blancmange and rechristened "Happy Families too…". The new physical album, with updated artwork, will be available as a tour exclusive.
A deluxe version including a mini tour poster and full reveal artwork will be launched at a later date to coincide with a download release, which will make the whole of "Happy Families too…" available digitally worldwide for the first time, however the tour will be the only place for fans to get their hands on a numbered limited first edition hard copy.
Says Neil: "I just wanted to approach the songs using today’s technology. Every time we perform it’s a different interpretation. So rather than just dust off the old songs, I wanted to bring something fresh to the project and make it a contemporary reworking rather than an exact imitation."
Due to continuing health issues, Stephen Luscombe will be unable to join Neil on the tour. Present will be guitarist David Rhodes, who performed on the original album, and sound engineer Adam Fuest, a long-time collaborator who will be manipulating the live sound and visuals.
Was brauche ich da noch die ausgelutschten Depeche Mode und VNV Nation zum gefühlt 30. Mal?Muß mich ständig kneifen,weil ich denke,daß das nur einer meiner typischen Träume ist und ich gleich aufwache.....
