STRAFE F.R. (STRAFE FÜR REBELLION) - The Bird was stolen

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Touch TO:110 Release Year: 2018 Note: the Düsseldorf-based conceptual project (with roots back to the very early 'Ratinger Hof' New Wave and Punk scene explosion in Germany in 1979) were never easy to classify, their third album "Santa Maria" was already released on TOUCH (1986): their surprising return to TOUCH underlines their avantgardish approach, using "all instruments of the world we can find" for their multi-layered, abstract compositions made entirely of strange and almost undecipherable sounds, effects and mysterious noises.. great !! Price (incl. 19% VAT): €15.00 More Info "Based in Düsseldorf, Germany, Strafe F.R. is a long-term collaboration between the artists Bernd Kastner and S. M. Syniuga, which started in 1979. After a long period of hibernation, The Bird Was Stolen marks their return to Touch following four previous releases in the 80s and early 90s. From their early connection with the local punk and new wave scene, centered around the Ratinger Hof in Düsseldorf, Strafe went on to develop a unique and influential form of sound sculpture that pioneered the use of field recordings alongside home-made instruments and the use of the studio as a performance space. A new track, ‘Virgin’, which appeared on the recent Touch Movements CD/book, gave an early indication that they are back at the peak of their powers. The Bird Was Stolen presents 14 new compositions that push the signature sound of Strafe F.R."
