It's the end of July and we decided to "close" this month by posting another sample of NDW, due to the informal tribute about this scene that we started with Schwefel and Giorbino/Eldorado. It is about a rare LP from 1982 also offered by "The Unspeakable". The truth is that we weren't able to find lots of information about this group except for the band members. "Hoch/tief" LP is their one and only release from AufRuhr Records whose releases deal with experimental/alternative music. "Hoch/tief" proves its experimental roots as each song reveals an up-tempo mood and distinct influences from the Kraut scene. However not as elitist, while some of the songs may sound 'friendlier': the intriguing guitar of "1+1=2" and the same titled "Hoch/tief". Pay attention to how tied up this band is, and how the drums is the protagonist of most of the songs, assisted by minimal guitar licks and the dominant saxophone. All these instruments together colour the music of Ein Jahr Garantie. The fun atmosphere in all 12 compositions adds to it. Whoever is in the mood of experimenting with their listening taste and want to listen to something different have nothing to lose. Enjoy !!!
