     silver monk time - 29 international artists take on the legacy
     of the monks

     in 1965 the monks were looking for a new zero point in pop
     music and created what later turned into the milestone record
     ôblack monk timeö. ôblack monk timeö accidentally or
     intentionally pre-dated several genres that were to come:
     kraut rock, electronic music, heavy metal, punk, industrial
     and techno.
     when the monks in january 1966 launched their ôliving (pop)
     art projectö at famous reeperbahn top ten club the largest
     german tabloid ôbild-zeitungö wrote ônoise, noise and no
     melody û robot music!ö.
     in july of the same year the monks presented their black
     record for the first time live on the teenage tv show
     ôbeat-clubö. to the surprise of many they started the show
     with an improvised new song, which wasn'tÆt even on the
     record. you could call it commercial suicide. the song itself
     was archaic, one repetitive beat, three monks beating on
     gigantic tambourines, an organ gone mad, a guitar on the floor
     that fed back and at one point was shyly touched by four band
     members. all typical macho rock attitudes were taken out. it
     was pure and swinging joyfulness and seemed to have more in
     common with avant garde art than with regular pop music.
     therefore maybe it was misunderstood. to some degree though it
     was the end of rock music as we knew it. the monks called the
     song ômonk chantö. rumor has it that ômonk chantö was supposed
     to be the one and only idea for their second long player. one
     primitive beat spread out on two lp sides. ôthe rolling stones
     are baroque, the beatles for old grannies, you, the monks are
     playing the music of the future, you are supposed to play the
     audience into ecstasy,ö demanded their two german managers.
     this second (never released) record was to be called ôsilver
     monk timeö.
     play loud! is proud to announce 29 international pop bands who
     continue the musical journey initiated 40 years ago by the
     seven monks: gary burger, larry clark, dave day, roger
     johnston, walther niemann, karl-heinz remy and eddie shaw.

     crank it up and enjoy this brand new ecstatic monks record.

     it is (finally) silver monk time.
