Station 17
present their tenth album
Blick
. From the liner notes by
Julian Bätz
: "If their preceding album
Alles Für Alle
(2014) represented the band's first pure pop creation,
Blick
is a triple backwards somersault in style. This will come as no surprise to anybody who has followed their progress over the past 30 years, crossing musical boundaries as they go. Experimentation is in the DNA of the band founded by musicians with and without disabilities. For the
Blick
recording sessions, they decided to shake off the dust of the town and the modern world, ensconcing themselves in the Watt'n Sound Studio on the North Sea. Three weeks in the summery seclusion of this coastal idyll enabled the band to cast off the pop restraints of their previous album and enter the realms of free improvisation. No predetermined structures, no preconceived lyrics, the music should exist in the moment, live in the present -- not even a basic key was set as a point of reference. Thanks to this creative freedom,
Blick
developed into a work which, on the one hand, relates to some of the greatest exponents of krautrock like
Popol Vuh
and, on the other, is a more relaxed, warmer, less vocals-focused cousin of
Die Entstehung Der Nacht
(2009) by the
Goldenen Zitronen
. Allusions to the legends of experimental, improvisation-friendly electro-krautrockers are quite reasonable, given the roll call of collaborators featured on this album. Step forward
Andreas Dorau
,
Jean-Hervé Péron
and
Zappi Diermaier
of
faUSt
,
Andreas Spechtl
(
Ja, Panik
),
Pyrolator
,
Grosskopf Kranemann
,
Datashock
,
Günter Schickert
and none other than
Ulrich Schnauss
, now a member of German electronic powerhouse
Tangerine Dream
. Emulating the modus operandi of the aforementioned,
Blick
documents the immediate, unfiltered and unalloyed interaction between the Station 17 musicians. The spectrum of this 'dialogue' is extended through the musical guests -- and captured sonically by
Dirk Dresselhaus
alias
Schneider TM
in the engineering room. . . . Once you have opened yourself up to the positive magic of the nine tracks on
Blick
, you are sure to discover the honest power lurking in the music of Station 17."
