It looks as if we finally found a distributor for our first album. It will, however, have a different cover than planned. Take a look at this:
 Expect some pretty strange stuff from us.  The album will probably be out in June; more details as to content and how to order soon. Edited by BaldFriede - March 18 2008 at 15:12 |

Nice one! Competition for Van Der Graaf Generator, or a Kraut revival perhaps?

Somewhere in between. Some quite unique ideas too; you will never have heard similar versions of Franz Schubert's "Erlkönig" or Hugo Wolf's "Feuerreiter" (the only 2 compositions which are not by us). |

the title of the album refers to a joke, in which a singing goat and a piano-playing donkey appear. in the title track we demonstrate how it REALLY would sound if a donkey played piano and a goat sang, which means Friede makes bleating noises and I bang on the piano with my fists

Best of luck to your endeavour. May your music find its way to the ears that can benefit from it. How exciting for you!

Did you consider distributing your album via cdbaby.com? They have excellent conditions for the artists, and you can publish the music on CD and mp3 simultaneously.

One of my brothers is a musician and has a record label, and he's told me in the past how great CDBaby is.
Do you have a myspace account where we can listen to some of it? |

That's a killer combination ... a myspace page with a link to cdbaby.com where people can purchase your album. If I were to release an album - which I'm always dreaming of doing and never get around to writing something in the first place - this is probably how I would do it today.

Nice cover art. I have some immediate associations with Kraftwerk albums (but a more feminine version), and Kim Poor's covers for Steve Hackett albums on the other hand (but then a real live version). But the bottomline is that it certainly looks very original.
Your choice of classical 'covers' is also interesting. Many classical composers were being covered by prog artists, but I have never seen anyone cover classical Lieder (songs) like those from Schubert or Wolf.
And prog with humor also, I understand. Well, I'm looking forward to it!

hahahha. .awesome... that is a wild ass cover... if the music is half as good.. I'd love to hear it.
Same offer as I gave Igor... get me a copy... get a glowing 5 star review.  I'm better, and cheaper, than the 70's reviewers.. you don't have to get me drunk, fried, and laid to get a good review. Just the album will suffice hahhahah.just ask Igor... no album.. no review |

the Frankfurter Kurorchester, a band which is not in the archives but definitely deserves to be, did a version of "Es bebet das Gesträuche" ("The shrubbery is quivering"), a Lied by Brahms. we saw them in the 90s once. in their version the shrubbery really was quivering |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

actually this album is already a thing of the past for us; we recorded it almost a year ago. we are already working on our second album, which will be called "It's a Dog's Life". and I can tell you this: it will have one of the most controversial and scandalous cover pics ever

^ I'm curious ... the picture looks quite artificial, is this intentional? I mean, it's obviously computer generated, but with current technology it could be made more organic.
