For those not in the know and wondering: Hansa is a church. Many of
rock'n'roll's saints and idols have done ground-breaking work in this particlar
Studio in (West-)Berlin. This is where IGGY POP recorded ôLust for Lifeö.
Classics such as NICK CAVE's ôYour Funeral, My Trialö and WIRES's ôThe Ideal
Copyö and hundreds of others were all created here. DEPECHE MODE, THE PIXIES,
KILLING JOKE, EINSTUERZENDE NEUBAUTEN, FAD GADGET, SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, THE
PSYCHEDLIC FOURS, ZARAH LEANDER... these are just a few of the names who have
worked at Hansa. And, of course, DAVID BOWIE. The walls and carpeted floors of
Hansa Studio have sucked up so much rock'n'roll grandeur... it probably only
compares to London's Abbey Road.
ROME and its entourage set up camp at Hansa for about 14 hours on October 2nd,
2016, and recorded 8 songs in one go. Never really stopping to get a second
take, the recording captures the band the way it is - or was at least during
that particular tour. ROME hand-picked a few songs from the lengthy tour set,
among which are old classics (ôDer Brandtaucherö, A Legacy of Unrest and
Reversion, newly arranged versions (The Torture Detachment, Querkraft),
renditions of songs from the latest release The Hyperion Machine (Stillwell,
Transference) and one unreleased fine rock raritiy: Mine.
Responsible for the recording and mixing of this Hansa Session is no one other
than Michael Ilbert; the grammy-award-winning Swedish expatriate who has been
running his own mixing studio out of Hansa for many years and has done
outstanding work in today's pop and alternative music world.
