Strafe Für Rebellion - Lufthunger

From the liner notes : "Lufthunger is a hunger for space, a hunger for a spacious environment, a longing to look at the stars and landscapes. It is also a hunger for history. But humans, who might live to be 80 years old, must make a big stretch of the imagination to conceive of a timespan of 5000 million. It makes us quiver, and actuality melts.

Music cannot be interpreted as being naked and detached from the history of culture, and neither can it be detached from the time before man first appeared on this planet. The noises of prehistoric animals and the screams of Cro-Magnon man are beyond bounds, for in this context, pop music is as brief as a second in a year. So Lufthunger involves a search for new fields to question the old and to descend consciously into chaos - to create a new order, and then to question that too. For human beings who are used to think in moral patterns, catastrophes means something fundamentally negative.

Each change first of all is a threat! At times, there have been catastrophes in music that caused a shock to the system - to the way we think and to the way we hear - a danger to harmony. Human harmony is unbearable to nature. Chaos is an essential antecedent to rebirth."

"Lufthunger" was released by Touch Records in 1991.
