Carambolage
never set out to be a "girl band" but they were one of the first German new wave bands whose members were all female. The punk alliance comprising
Britta Neander
,
Elfie-Esther Steitz
and
Angie Olbrich
emerged organically from the environs of
Ton Steine Scherben
, friends united by a common interest in musical experimentation.
The
Bon Voyage
recordings sound far more mature than the band's earlier music, whilst losing some of the playful insouciance that ran through the first two albums. Strains of ska and chanson complement the latter-day NDW (German new wave) flavored power pop. After four successful years of extensive touring, new perspectives presented themselves to Carambolage. Having outgrown the somewhat languid Scherben scene and label life at David Volksmund Produktion, the trio upped sticks and headed for Berlin, curious to see what the big city had to offer, namely a close-up view of the pop business.
Manne Praeker
, former
Spliff
bass player and
Nina Hagen
's producer, offered to produce their third record, anticipating a shot at success with a major label.
Bon Voyage
was recorded in 1984 in Praeker's Mad-Mix studio in Berlin with various guest musicians. Even the pop mag Bravo took note, featuring the punkish North Frisians in a home story. Alas, any aspirations of becoming stars quickly dissipated during the recording process as aesthetic differences came to the fore. In one corner, Britta and Angie were determined to follow the DIY principles of the two preceding albums. In the opposite corner, Manne Praeker and Elfie felt compelled to introduce a stronger element of professionalism and Praeker increasingly weighed into the creative process. "You might say our story practically came to an end with a collision, just to match our name," Britta Neander recalled in an interview with
Tine Plesch
. The girls have since renewed their friendship.
Bon Voyage
spent 34 years under lock and key before the Fuego label released a digital version in the year 2019.
