MOMO Stazione Ferroviaria

Einstürzende Neubauten: Armenia
"expressionistischer Schrei, untermalt von düsteren Klangschwaden" (Thomas Gross)  "musikalisch gibt einem "Armenia" das Gefühl, nackt in einer riesigen, verwahrlosten Fabrikhalle zu sitzen, aus deren Decke einem in furchterregendem Rhythmus das Wasser auf den fröstelnden Körper tropft."  (Joachim 'Joe' Brookes/www.rocktimes.de) "Gerade bei einem Stück wie “Armenia” bekommt man es mit der Angst zu tun, so eindringlich und mitreißend hat man einen Menschen wohl nie zuvor singen hören, da läuft es einem eiskalt den Rücken runter." (zaiman/www.rezension.org)
"Bitte enttäusch mich nicht!"

New Model Army: Ballad
"nur immer anklagende Zeigefinger" (ME-Sounds)  "Stuart Morrow decided to leave the band for personal reasons. Frantic negotiations were made (by a strange unhappy co-incidence, on the very same day as the Bradford City fire disaster killed 56 people at a football match) ...1985 had been a traumatic year" (www.sing365.com)  "they are not indie, indie sucks and NMA doesnt" (kilstrit on last.fm)
"And I wish and I wish
We could start over again"

Bee Gees: Country Lanes
"sound characteristically sugary" (Stephen Holden, Rolling Stone/www.superseventies.com) "What is that? A flying flattened cat that keeps drifting by? A bunny. Maybe It's a bunny. OH now I get it! It's a bird of some sort...maybe a goose! NO! A mallard duck" (geopearlst at youtube) "Is that all? you've got to say about one of the most beautiful voices we've ever been lucky enough to hear ?" (Ang Douglas' response)
"Whenever I cry my friend
You're always away"

The Flaming Lips: Evil
"The kind of song that you need to listen to in complete darkness."  (jagallag/www.lastfm.de)  "being haunted by how kind, gentle creatures are easily overpowered by the violent, mean beings." (Wayne Coyne/The Flaming Lips)  "loud, loose and weird" (David Campbell/The Current)
"But no one ever really can
Go back in time"

Kim Kashkashian: Garun a
"The shaggy Brahms was improvising on the piano, filling the room with passionate howls, tears streaming down his face..." (from Michael Duskin's Book - zitiert im Booklet)  "Die Kraft kommt aus der Melancholie, aus der Heimatlosigkeit, aus dem Entschluss weiterzugehen" (Konrad Heidkamp) "During our singing the tears of the elderly Patriarchs would roll down (Komitas)

Randy Newman: Living without you
"Sie machen sich kleiner, als Sie sind." (Thomas Groß zu Randy Newman) "Was ich mag, ist manchmal sehr weit von dem entfernt, was ich mache." (R.N.)  "I would live in Randy’s lucid misery any day." (David Stith/www.moteldemoka.com)
"Time to face the dawning gray
Of another lonely day"

10.000 Maniacs: Noah's Dove
"The song "Noah's Dove" from "10,000 Maniacs" is Falco's "Jeanny" in disguise. But I'm cool. It's OK." (www.besitzstandswahrer.de) "This was the band's lushly written swan song, released just before Natalie Merchant departed" (napster) "mein Leiblingslied seit drei Jahren. Schwer zu sagen, ob ein anderes mal seinen Platz einnimmt." (ein Kunde/amazon.de)
"I'm tired, tired of knowing where it is you're going"

Green Day: Restless Heart Syndrome
"Your worst enemy is yourself, at least according to this song." (Joey Michaels/www.sadclownrep.com) "Sometimes I think a melody asks something from you that you don't want to necessarily face" (Billy Joe Armstrong, zit. in "A Musical Biography") "To me, this is about being defeated." (Scarberian/www.songlyrics.com)
"Cause something seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away"

The Rolling Stones: Salt of the Earth
"I just received a call,
My friend Pete Ramiraz just died...
houseless not homeless
in his home town of Wahiawa, HI.
I listen? to this song...
in his memory...
by his favorite band...
Rest In Peace"
(Kowway on youtube) "People need to let the past go." (hero7D/sweetchildomine.co.uk)  "Jagger and Richards sang the two songs Mick felt seemed most appropriate: "Salt of the Earth" and "Miss You."" (Christopher Andersen  "Mick")
"Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows"

Phantom Planet:  Turn Smile Shift Repeat
"er der Tristesse in letzter Sekunde noch mal entfliehen kann, während ihm ein verwaistes Saxophon nachweint." (www.plattentests.de) "Für einen verregneten Abend auf dem Sofa" (Steini bei amazon.de) "Ich denke *würg* beschreibt sie am besten."  (Amidamaru/www.comicforum.de)
"There was no time to see his fatal flaw the madness set in with the loss"

Orig. fidele Mölltaler: Warum nur, das frag' ich dich
"ohne Euch wäre es in unserem Land noch triester als es ist ." (Willi Krassnitzer/Gästebuch) "es gibt mich auch noch und zwar besser als auch schon." (Steiner Christian/Gästebuch) "Ich hätte die Anfrage in welchem Jahr ihr in Haßbach, beim Zeltfest gespielt habt?" (Maria Faustbeck/Gästebuch www.moelltaler.at)
"Warum lässt du mich allein?
Warum soll ich einsam sein?"
