While working in Berlin Wedding at andereBaustelle studio on their upcoming album,
Kreidler
found also time to dig deep into the vaults of their Düsseldorf and Berlin archives. Thirty years ago, Kreidler's eponymous mini-album was released on Cologne-based label Finlayson; and
RIVA
, their first outing, on cassette tape, was released a year before that. Both released in limited physical formats and long unavailable. This edition documents the band's beginnings, with threads that can be followed throughout their whole history to their current work. Still, they are straight out of a certain scene, at a certain place, at a certain time. Kreidler -- formed from the encounter of the band
Deux Baleines Blanches
(
Thomas Klein
,
Andreas Reihse
, and
Stefan Schneider
) with
DJ Sport
(
Detlef Weinrich
) -- already in its initial years, and in those that followed, managed to hold seemingly contradictory strands, becoming a fluid form that could equally accommodate the various strengths and interests of its members. This ability has remained intact up to the present lineup of
Thomas Klein
,
Alex Paulick
, and
Andreas Reihse
.
Oliver Tepel
wrote of their mini-album in 1995 in
Spex
magazine: "On the basis of calm grooves from andante to moderato -- comparable to the dissolution of object and background in analytical cubism -- the contours of the instruments disappear in favor of mysteriously meandering waves of sound." In 1994,
RIVA
, the beginning: circuitous somehow, a spatial presence in the restraint, strangely physical in its beauty. Mounting with
Das Wilde Heinefeld
, with voice and bass clarinet by
Fritz Sitterle
. Produced for an unreleased Monarchie und Alltag cover version album, conceived by
Joerg "Zappo" Zboralski
as a follow-up to his
Brücke Kaufen
album The journey ends in a heated but once again taut textual space, familiar ground for Kreidler, after various gigs with spoken word artists. The photography incorporated on the front cover of this release depicts Kreidler in 1995 in the artists' club WP8.
