The never released 1989 album of Der Plan out now on Bureau B!

This outstanding album was rediscovered during Covid lockdown in the Ata Tak tape archive. It was originally recorded for a live show with robots that never took place and so the music disappeared in the vaults for 4 decades. The entire story of this amazing project is narrated on the album and in the booklet. 

 

Also available at Chakchak Art Shop!

Out now on Tapete/Bureau B: the crisp new rereleases of two iconic Der Plan albums, "Die Peitsche des Lebens" and "Es ist eine fremde und seltsame Welt", the latter referred to among fans simply as "Welt". Both records as CD and vinyl LP. Check out the page on the label website!

 

 

There's also a new video!

Time to thank!

Since we only printed rather rudimentary credits on the various covers of „Unkapitulierbar”, here’s a more detailed list of the participants of this album, to whom we owe the greatest thanks:

The album was recorded during three weeks at the Ata Tak Studio in Berlin, engineered by Pyrolator.
While most songs result from the combined efforts of Pyrolator, Fenstermacher and Moritz R, there are some significant additions to make:

The original artwork of the „Single-Cover” of „Wie der Wind weht” is based on an art plate painted by Frank Fenstermacher. The video was made by SMAC film production, Andreas Coerper and Susanne Müller. Big thanks to all the friends who spent an afternoon on the hot Tempelhofer Feld to play in the video.

The video for „Lass die Katze stehn” was filmed in Second Life by Miss Moni Duettmann with the help of fellow avatars Luisa Bourgoin and Dexter Bogdanovic. Also thanks to Willy Hegel who had generously provided free building land for many years.

For „Man leidet herrlich” the band wants to thank Michael Kemner for suggesting to give the song something like a refrain.

Single-Cover of „Es heisst die Sonne” original painting by Franz Reichelt.

„Flohmarkt der Gefühle” was recorded at the studio of Achim Treu, who also did a full arrangement on the music, which was nothing more than lyrics with a vague idea of a melody before. The lyrics however date 20 years back into the past, when Moritz R and Andreas Dorau were on tour together and R got this idea of starting a song with „Auf dem Flohmarkt der Gefühle”, which Dorau spontaneously rhymed to „Sind wir zwei alte Stühle”.

„Der Herbst” features Glen Campbell on guitar.

„Wie schwarz ist ein Rabe”, lyrics by Der Plan, music by Achim Treu, recorded at Treu Studio.

„Come Fly With Me” is a song that Moritz R originally wrote for Rainer Kirberg’s film „Das Schlafende Mädchen”, hence the English lyrics. It was produced in his own studio by Daniel Paul, who set straight Rs hand-played rough sketch and made it swing. The female vocals are by Laura Carleton, who struggled hard with what she said was the most difficult melody she ever had to sing: however she did it brilliantly!

„Die Hände des Astronauten” owes its initial background sounds to the Rosetta Comet space mission of the ESA, who turned a recording of the magnetic field of the comet into sound.

„Wellenstein” on „Wellenstein” by Petra Wellenstein.

„Primitiv“ is based on a video by Der Plan v.4.0, which is based on a track by Achim Treu and Moritz R.

Photographer of the personal portraits of the band is Oliver Schultz-Berndt.
The photos were taken at POP records in Berlin with thanks to Martin Vau.

The art prints of the Deluxe LP-cover were printed by Druckerei Bunter Hund in Berlin.

The band wants to thank everybody at the Bureau B label, esp. Gunther Buskies, Nina Thomsen and Carsten Friedrichs.


Moritz R wants to dedicate this album to his friend Uwe Kopf, who died unexpectedly in January 2017.
