+ story
It basically all started, when a band from southern Germany suddenly
realised that a band from the South of England produced the best music one
could put on a turntable. So, Morr Music, back then busy negotiating an
album deal with this English band and flatmate of one of the members of the
German band, together with Markus Acher from The Notwist invested some
monmey in a long-distance call, destination UK, to both tell Isan how great
they were and to book an appointemnt in Isan's studio to work with them.
Isan liked the idea, because they also admired their German Notwist
collegues. However, Isan's studio was about to move into another house and
not really wired-up and both parties agreed that it'd be better not to
disturb the studio while moving houses and to do a split-single later on,
maybe with remixes. Yeah, that's what we gonna do, take care, speak soon.
More than a year later, this split-single became a colorful, friendly
double-CD, full of incredible beautiful music. Mainly because there are of
course more musicians admiring each other, happy aot any sort of possible
colloaboration. Said and done. From that point on, the phone at the Morr
Music HQ never stopped ringing. Contacts were established, DAT's distributed
and deadlines set and cancelled. Wonderful things were about to come. Music
without the world could possibly not survive, a sonic field trip of people
who'd stay together forever, spend hours on the phone, exchanging soundfiles
and ideas. Here, Berlin is as important as Cologne, Munich, Toronto,
Southend-On-Sea, Vienna and Leipzig. Isan are remixing The Notwist and vice
versa. Bernhard Fleischmann gives Blond a treat, Flowchart works on a Lali
Puna track, Tied & Tickled Trio is de-jazzing Kandis. The participant's list
reads like the Who Is Who' of electronic scouts.
However, not only the original Isan/Notwist split single somehow grew out of
proportions. Morr Music itself as a label got bigger and bigger, installs
new email accounts for new artists on a daily basis and has releases a
couple of pretty nice records. So, the remixes are only one aspect. The
double-CD also features new, unreleased tracks from old and new Morr people.
Manufracture, who has a brother called Phonem, The Notwist, who, whenever in
Berlin, take a nap on Morr Music's sofa, Lali Puna, Herrmann & kleine,
Kleine without Herrmann, Arovane, who happens to live around the corner from
the Morr HQ, robot Solvent and Cologne-based friend Kandis to name but a
few.
Isn't it great what can happen when a band from southern Germany calls
Britain?
