Album Info

This is the nineth album I am releasing as Hausmeister. And at the same time it is the first with only English lyrics. "The guitar of your idol" is a popalbum, completely serving my attitude towards this kind of music, with a chronology that is more than mere accident, but has been developed precisely while the album was growing. Of cause I am sad, not to have this on a vinyl record, especcially since I believe that vinyl is the optimal medium, seen under technical and musical aspects. Who knows, whether the music industry might remember this, when they again think that it is time to place a new product on the market. Since this is the only reason for the ever changing products, not improvement technically spoken or in behalf of the listeners or the music, only serving the purpose of moneymaking. My reflections about this built the basis to the first track on the album "Human Rudiment", which is a very pessimistic view on what has been called "user". I see this homotechnicus more as a victim of the technical instruments and machines that dominate him and not the other reround. The track "Evil" picks up a similar aspect, additionally to the general technological promise, it describes that of modern genetics, optimising the human race, a fascistic ideology that is hard to resist, when it is said that this technology is only used for the benefit of human life. How can the evil be useful, and how the perfect bad? It is this mediocrity that characterises us, our weakness, our impatience, that is described in "The length of your patience". Also "Feel like me" deals with the inner situation of those who would not be themselves if they wouldn't insist on their imperfection. We are not comparable and everyone is unique, while our experiences and possibilities are so rich. That many of us do not manage to recognise ourself and still like oneself, that is the topic of "Fishhead", "Johnny Single" and "Remember". It is useless to own the guitar of your idol, cause it does not change any condition of your own existenz. There is no alternative to your individual way, although this is what the propaganda tries to make us believe. Through this we are kept in a stabil and constant unsatisfaction with the substitues of industry. This "junkyfeeling" is described on various tracks through different perspectives. That I am singing in English is part of trying in gaining more distance to what I am singing about. On the one hand it makes things more concrete, cause I can only use a reduced vocabulary, and on the other hand it enhences the freedom to just ignore the lyrics and let the music dominate the songs. I have never before played so much saxophone on an album. What you hear reflects my way of playing this instrument, that I am learning by doing while recording, and I can really not play more than this. Of cause there are wonderful backing vocals of my wife sarah again, only this time she never got to play any flute, I simply forgot it. Maybe next time!
