about

History lesson... ;-)

2006: One nice day Reinhold Krämer, Wolf​gang Bechtluft and Michael Brückner (widely unknown as B4 SUNRISE) were invited to play a session at the barn of Martina's (then) "hippie commune" (Martina is a long-time friend of Michael Brückner's wife and the barn had been rebuilt into a small "event hall" for parties etc.).
So the band and some friends met there and tried to play something decent, but messed it up completely and finally gave in quite dissatisfied.

Nevertheless, they had recorded the whole "happening" (in mono !!! ), and when Michael Brückner listened to it later, he had the idea to remix the material severly and turn it into an album that would "work".

And: he succeeded. Still, the result sounds "experimental" to say the least. But also quite fascinating in a way. Maybe King Crimson after a couple of drinks too much incognito in some provincial American café.

Especially noteable is the three-part Berlin School-esque "Interplanetary Travel Agency", where Brückner did produce ALL sounds just by transforming the last single short guitar note at the end of the recording - and "all sounds" means: drums, bass, effects, sequences, pads - anything that is audible throughout the whole track is a transformation of the same short, simple note, quite an astonishing feat of "remixing"...

Obviously ;-) the album title is an anagram of "Martina's" (place). 8-)
