Oh Ne: ‹Netzeband Glitzerwelt› [13 track lp]
It’s Oh Ne. And it’s an album about the fall of an utopian projection. German Rockmusic lived from the projection of the US A as its holy place. Since the beginnings of German Rockmusic in the 60’s this has been the face of its motivation,
from shallow bands to great bands like Can, although there were Bands that clearly went away from this (Kraftwerk for example), it remained an essential part in German
music until today. Full of clichés this projection has been expressed and has become itself part of German culture. But since there is no “American Dream” anymore these clichés that have expressed themselves in styles began to fade. Netzeband Glitzerwelt
lives out these clichés again from today’s point of view. Not a concept album, but like a natural happening this record is. Although none of these thoughts were made before the record was finished, although there was no planing in the song names, no special interest in American culture nor German Rockmusic, you will find these ideas confronting when listening to the record. Oh Ne see this album as an important point in their work and, surprised by themselves, find it to be important for German Rockmusic, an album that no one demanded, but which evolved like there was a need.

discogs [cd]itunes [mp3]cdbaby [mp3]"Truly one of my favorite independent bands out there, Oh Ne are a German group (also part of the music blog RAMIN TON) that have newly released the album Netzeband Glitzerwelt, which combines some tracks from their previous output. This is, seriously, one of the best, most creative albums that I've heard in 2009, with its blend, and transcendence, of genres like minimal synth, chip-tune, space rock, and prog rock. Recommended: "Eine Millionen Dollar in Senf" and "Islandia 2"." -
