even a wily record boss can experience some exciting moments of a
very special nature..
one day, about a year ago, a young man we knew turned up at our
ladomat office, put a cassette into the tacky recorder and said, i
think this will be to your liking. within seconds the lado office
was filled with a smell of christmas, birthdays and new yearÆs
eve, all at the same time. people and members of our staff known
for listening to nothing but joy division or old marius mⁿller
westernhagen (a german rock star) records all day, started
gathering in front of the tape recorder and just stood there with
a big smile on their face. minutes later they were shaking hands,
wiping the tears from their eyes and considerable sums of money
changed hands. we had become the lucky owners of a musical king
ludwig castle. and whatÆs more: you donÆt have to be bavarian,
american or japanese to taste commercial breakupÆs
bombast-romanticism with butterfly wings. although we have
received licensing
offers from big names who reside precisely in these areas that
show what potential lies in global player.
the name of the band shows where itÆs at. top a1 rumble pop, a
true delight. many months of euphoria passed until this record
probably the most pop-influenced number on ladomat so far was
released.
commercial breakup began as a project for two compilation
contributions two years ago. when we say compilation we mean
compilations for galerie berlintokyo in berlin (spielkreis 01 +
spielkreis 03), hose former co-organiser, vredus, is also the
producer and songwriter of commercial breakup. while some of the
contributions, to put it bluntly, are characterised by an
electro-trashy, relatively run-of-the mill way of playing music,
commercial breakup pleasingly stood out from the berlin-mitte
concept by resenting
fascinating pop tunes.
the fascinating thing about commercial breakup is this amazing
talent for picking out spine-chilling melodies and intelligent pop
arrangements. and then thereÆs their unique way of working: vredus
and elke have never done any of the composing together, have never
played music together in the same
room (except at 3 live performances) and yet commercial breakup
sounds surprisingly homogenous and tight.
the acapella version is exclusively on this vinyl version,
technically its no dupe of the cdm which was already released.
as it is from a respected label like ladomat 2000 we wanted to
release it.
