Cosmonaut dream

By all ingenious Dille aunts, who worked at the beginning of the Achzja, me
the Combo was always around Ziggy XY the dearest. Historically white I
unfortunately nuescht over this volume, because the InterNet, the bad, is
silent itself persistently out. Probably however a running by Jogger told
me that Ziggy XY was involved in different Fanzines in former times under
its civil name Michael Jarick. As a singer it went the first time with
power into action with the Hannoveraner volume the modern one , with which
it produced a very fine single, "revolution in the children's room", and
the likewise recommendable LP "80 days on lake". On both Elaboraten
punkaehnliche Schrammelmusik with verschrobenen texts is mixed, which are
vorgeleiert by Ziggy in an inimitable Hinwerfstil, which it should develop
further later elsewhere in remarkable directions. On both plates very
different versions of the piece are "give ' me death, I have enough", which
actually should themselves have developed to the Hymne for verzagte
contemporaries, this however did not do. My alluding tip is "coloured
seen", with likewise to read like impressive "Schwaaarz!" the farbpalette
locks.

If one could offer this music still another to intellectually beflissenen
Punkpublikum, then this with Ziggys of new group, cosmonaut dream fell,
already substantially more heavily. I wait still for the marvelous moment,
if any literature scientist should make itself times to decode the texts
from KT to. That must be then a high point of modern academy striving. No,
if one near-goes completely humorless to the pieces from cosmonaut dream,
one will land on korallen, which do not let anything wish at sharp
edgedness and serratingness. Lines like of "napalm is the fruit of the
east" or "madness of the wrong Vaganten" are from a such dadaistischen
Unfueglichkeit that they must appear from the musical context cleverly
alternatively soilless praetentioes or witthout obligation verkaspert.
However they are spoken by Ziggy with such heart-tearing up Pathos that the
feelings, which cause the pieces can be designated earliest with the
English "weird" - in disconcerting way uncomfortably stop.

On the first LP Herbert figure eight shrubs is mentioned, and the work of
cosmonaut dream with those of super-Bavaria actually divides a playfulness
in handling the language, those with contemporaries, who must read texts
such as directories, to violent intestine problems (up to the complete
catch) to lead to be able. (property actually!) As is the case for Mr.
Achternbusch the lecture is very artificial and theatralisch, which has
however the interesting effect that one can concentrate on the one hand
better on the words themselves, on the other hand the reliability of the
words and appears deceitful to its meaning connection. As the Dadaisten
wanted to give Wat to the dominant order by desireful and spielerisches
destroying from formal conventions into the word formation inside, then the
complete work of cosmonaut dream produces its own small private dimension,
which is actually completely kuschelig and heimelig. Whether one may feel
the result now as art or as complete shit, depends on the individual
listener. I decide with full heart for first and have much fun thereby!

The first publication was a single in the self-publishing house, which I
did not have, which I feel as high-grade indecent.

Then different plates on that came Hamburg one "ZickZack" label, beginning
with the krachigen Singles" revenge! "and" Liebesmueh'n ". The dreams are
here still consecutively numbered consecutively titleless from 1-9 and.
Cosmonaut dream 10 appeared on the ZZ Sampler "dear one too much than too
little" and is one of the light stars on a disk protruding anyway. The
first Kt-LP was equally titleless and had the Russian spaceman Juri Gagarin
on the Cover. In the course of this plate there was also once an TV
appearance (I mean to remember), with that the musicians on bar stools sat
and mutually anschwiegen themselves, interrupted from occasional Tja's and
Jaja's... The LP is absolutely great and contains beside nearly already
commercial pieces ("dance the cosmonaut") also incurably crude, how the to
a large extent gegroehlte "Juri Gagarin", with which the text is not to be
reconstructed finally no more. Locking "hope" hardly leaves identical -
lighters, which are to be swivelled here, do not turn on. In order to quote
one of the texts: "we wear trousers of dead women/kitchen scraping climb at
us highly/we are proud humans."

Next a Maxi with the title "Livorno came 1956 ", which I had heard in youth
days in the radio, when such beautiful things ran still in the radio. (that
was a radio!) The Titelsong is a considerable hit approximate at the same
time must also the Maxi have come out, the Ziggy with palace Schaumburg
palais-Schaumburg-Schlagzeuger Ralf Hertwig under the title " saving area "
took up.

The second LP, " day thieves ", appeared in a transparent cover and was
pressed on colored Vinyl (in several colors available). After a first
acclimatizing phase I must say nevertheless that she is rather still more
extremely guessed/advised in various regard than their Vorlaeuferin. The
music nudelt here somewhat less aggressively and rebelliously before
itself, but the Weirdness here expenditure-provoked up to the Exitus,
already mentioned, (or to the exodus). The lecture style of Ziggy changes
here nearly from song to song, beginning with the vertoelten "parting" and
kaempferischen "lizard romance". Then fearful verzagte "child search" comes
("my south countries is long bent..."), the suppressed laughter of "phantom
pain", merry "day thieves", counter-tenor-like lyras of "Kirschbluete"...
And so on. Whom baertige Infantinnen and wrong Vaganten are contrary, with
this plate so its difficulties will have.

Afterwards there was still the Maxi " fear is my king ", on which a very
rabaukige version of "phantom pain" stands out, as well as the
unbeschreibar morbide "the butcher is my friend".

Here the zigzag course for cosmonaut dream ended. Me only two further
publications are well-known, on that Hamburg one "Ulan Bator" label: the
dancefloorige Maxi " Magdalena " (although, I would like to see the
Dancefloor...) and a exzellente holiday single, " beautiful Christmas ", on
the Ziggy the two popular songs "Jingle Bells" and "of the sky highly,
since komm'ich" verhaeckselt ago.

Since then was nix more. Alfred Hilsberg told me that with him still
another whole LP von Kosmonautentraum rumliegt, which never rausgekommen
is. (thirst!) Yes, the world is not also more what it was never... Ziggy
withdrew itself after hearing completely from the music scene. My best
desires to it, where always it may be!
