VARIOUS ARTISTS - Hundeher(t)z 2x7” D 2009 Hertz 5555 8 Tracks 23’24’‘
Hertzschrittmacher present their second release dealing with their love towards dogs and this time in co-operation with the animal shelter Marsberg, Germany, to whom all profits from this release will be donated, and the result is a lovely charity record set full of pure minimal electro: SECOND PLANET present a straight-forward uptempo with “Verletzt und ausgesetzt (Hurt and left alone)”, ANY LEAVE asks on “Planeten” if there’s dogs living on other planets, too (and where they don’t appear to be missed/stolen somehow), a lovely minimal electro track, while MASSENDEFECT are dealing with pets being trashed on highways while their owners prefer to go on holidays in “Tatort A7 (Crime scene highway A7)”, and then LINEAR F goes for a walk in “Gassigehen”, a quite unusual and weird US GI’s song like piece of music. TREUE SEELEN presents romantic analogue electropop with “Hundeleben (Dog’s Life)” with two children singing about two people who caress many dogs, E-ALDI sings about “Timmy” a clever pet detective and giving us some minimal electro-punk, while PHILIPPE & PHLUFFIE present a wonderful instrumental electropop track with some reminiscence to Nash The Slash called “Spaziergang (Walk)”, and last ADN’ CKRYSTALL sing “Hund und allein (Dog and alone)”, another very minimal and weird track as we know it from our French friends. Anna has bought and is selling all copies at customers price, so without any profit, just to help distributing this great release - please support this release, too, so that more like these can be made!
