sioulnirom J'ai toujours adoré la music des Allemands et ce depuis très longtemps. Cela a debuté avec Zeit de Tangerine Dream suivi de Ralf & Florian et toutles kraftwerk et de Klaus Schulze et tout les autres. Et comme la pluspart des albums Alemand c'est la musik qui es mise a l'avant scene. Il ne cante que très peu; et s'il le font leur voix devienent un instrument au service de la musique. C'est toujours très inventif comme l'est en general le krautrock

about

There are few genres in which German artists play such a central pioneering role as they do in electronic music, be it techno, electropop, trance or rave. At the front-line for many years were Kraftwerk and U96, two absolute trailblazers of this musical direction.

Transhuman is the spectacular collaborative album from U96 (Ingo Hauss & Hayo Lewerentz) and Wolfgang Flür, Kraftwerk’s drummer in the years between 1972 and 1987 and therefore involved in the most seminal albums by the group from Düsseldorf.

Transhuman sees U96 and Wolfgang Flür develop their creative exchange across a full album, creating fascinating sonic worlds. “Transhuman is a stylistic mélange of our different histories,” describe Wolfgang Flür and U96 masterminds Hauss and Lewerentz an offering that is spectacular in many respects, featuring, along with typical U96 tracks such as "Clone" and "Specimen", numbers such as "Transhuman", "Planet In Fever" and "Sexersizer" that are inspired by Flür’s past.

Notably, the content has been reduced to the sheer basics, in other words: sparingly used associative statements with deep, but at times also playful and mysterious messages that the listener feels rather than consciously registers. The lyrics are about the transformation of people through technology and our massive interference in life on our planet.
