Overview

The Best Of Carola - Electric Kindergarten Vol. 7 --- 2019

Limited to 500 copies "The most gratifying archive analysis that I know!" (Jörg Gülden, formerly chief ROLLING STONE, SOUNDS) For the seventh time, Tom THE PERC Redecker opens his sound archive, in which many delicacies are slumbering from around 40 years of underground music "Made in Germany". "Electric Kindergarten" is the name of the evaluation, which is numbered in loose order and pulled into the light of day. Early shots with Gipsy Rover, Pissrinne, Kühe im Nebel, The Perc Meets The Hiddle Ghentleman, Taras Bulba and The Electric Famile - Tom meticulously captured and collected everything. The tapes are gently reworked but not digitally disfigured. It should be ensured that the respective indie sound of the seventies, eighties and nineties comes across authentically - a documentation of independent German rock music! Since it can already rustle and bruzeln! Vol. 7 is dedicated exclusively to the analogue keyboard Casiotone MT 400V, affectionately called Carola, which Tom bought in 1986 in Bremen. The sound of Carola is unique and not to be confused with other comparable keyboard instruments. Especially the drum pattern played a big role in the releases. Carola accompanies Tom to this day, however, she was particularly frequently used in THE PERC MEETS THE HIDDEN GENTLEMAN. With Carola, the indie radio hit "Rock The Widow" was recorded, and while every live performance from 1987 to 1990, she stood on the stage. But she was also used at the ELECTRIC FAMILY and most recently at SUN TEMPLE CIRCUS. This compilation presents a rich selection of titles coined by Carola. "Rock The Widow" is available in two versions (Studio & Live), but also rare songs can be found here, which are documented as usual in every Electric Kindergarten edition. Long live Carola!
