More Info Die Longplay-Version der überraschenden Collaboration, sehr dichte & kraftvolle & noisige Soundscapes, von Krautrock keine Spur, düster Industrial und Illbient verschmelzen ! “On "Derbe respect, alder" Faust surprise their fans by joining forces with American hiphop artists Dälek. Dälek are a three-piece hiphop-outfit from New Jersey. Will Brooks (a.k.a. MC Dälek) is responsible for lyrics, Alap Momin (a.k.a. The Octopus) is the producer and Hsi-Chang Linaka (a.k.a. Still) handles the turntables. Their open-mindedness towards musical influences was boundless from the beginning and so it is small wonder that they soon hit on German Krautrock survivors Faust as a source for interesting samples. In the course of two years three sessions which spawned the music on this album took place. The high point of these saw the two outfits appearing side by side on stage at the Bonn Bad Kilbi festival 2003 in Düdingen, Switzerland. What Dälek and many of their hiphop contemporaries express through words – protest against and rejection of the social status quo – is exactly what Faust have expressed trough music during the last 30+ years. Consequently, this album is nothing for the faint-hearted, its music is merciless, straight in your face, at times even brutal. At times it sounds like harsh Industrial or "Illbient". The album's final track is an update of "T-electronique", a track originally released on Faust's 1999 album "Ravvivando". Dälek lend the song additional lyrics and shoot it through with samples, so that it sounds like a remix of the original. From this perspective "Derbe respect, alder" could be seen in a straight line with the remix idea of the last two Faust albums "Freispiel" and "Patchwork 1971-2002".” [press release] www.staubgold.com
