"Pan or ama", the debut album of Console, published on Payola, was released long
time before "Rocket In The Pocket" with the superhit
"14 Zero Zero", which had great results not only in the Indie-Charts, it also
climbed our private Top-Ten. The rest is history,
Martin Gretschmann, the lone operator behind Console, who sometimes lockes up a
whole band behind his project, paced through many ups
and precious few downs of pop-star-ism, he released five great albums - now it┤s
impossible to imagine the world of electronic song
without him! But "Pan or ama", of which only 1000 copies where pressed, got
almost forgotten. Although this record goes right
into the heart.
"Pan or ama" touches deep. An impressed record,
tracks with beats which became songs after they got in touch with soft melody.
Contemplative, but not tangent, far from it! The
seventh track finally, without a name, breaks into a emotion-landscape as before
only "Radio 4" by Public Image Ltd., on the "Second
Edition" the re-release of "Metal Box", that's with its softness like a
monolith, and on the end, with all the noise,
stronger and heftier as that. You could easily put the theory that beauty
begins, where irony, denial and mind get together.
Well, eight years later, this record, which circles around this centre, did not
loose his beauty at all.
This record is not only material for explorers, who want to find out, where
this, that, our Console comes from, but also a
musical melodrama for people, who not only have feelings, they have to afford
them. This is cogent. Beautiful. Very very beautiful!
Main project for M.Gretschmann (aka Acid Pauli), lead programmer for the German
indie rockers "The Notwist" also involved in the
supergroup "13&God" (Notwist+Themselves).
CONSOLE released albums on Virgin, Matador and others
CONSOLE did cooperations/ remixes with/for the likes of Bj÷rk and Depeche Mode.
"Pan-Or-Ama" comes with 2 bonus tracks ("Slowmotion"
and "Ladybug") !!!
