Released ten years after Karawanenmusik I-IV,
Karawanenmusik V sees Kazakhstani-German artist Afanassi
Viebeg coming back to the desert. The purpose of this album
is to offer the illusion of a journey through the desert --
today's desert, not its romantic counterpart. Camels and
Bedouins are surrounded by sounds of the city and the pulse
of electronica. Viebeg has a fusion thing going, but
instead of trying to shoehorn-fit "ethnic" elements into
techno tracks, he tangles up the two around an unspoken
sociopolitical commentary -- much like Drem Bruinsma's Six
Reels of Joy -- and creative production that owes a lot to
Austro-German experimental techno (Frank Bretschneider, B.
Fleischmann). Besides a couple of dancefloor-oriented
tracks ("Tuareg," "Way to Nowhere"), the album focuses on
short pieces either of an atmospheric nature or
collage-like. Five of them were originally conceived for a
play. They are well-integrated to the whole. Some pieces
also feature the voice of Leo Solter (aka Leo Bullfrog).
Highlights include the walloping rhythm track in "Die
Katastrophe im Kopf" (it gives a vivid impression of a
camelback ride) and the delicate "Steinkarawane." Those
only looking for some techno with an exotic flavor will
find this Caravan Music to be more cerebral than that -- a
good thing, really!
