Rather exhausted I finished the prologue of the “World of Apes”-Trilogy beginning of 2010. “World of Apes 1” took a lot out of me…more than expected. Questions for a sequel came up which I couldn’t answer for a long time. I needed some distance to the finished album. In the course of time I learned, that this way of dealing with the “nuclear madness” inspired the audience which was supported by the catastrophe in Fukushima in March 2011. So I started collecting musical sketches about themes that touched me and that were relevant in my own youth. Pershing, Tschernobyl, StarWars, The day after, WarGames, Anti-Nukes-Movements and many more dominated my nuclear memory of that time. After I finished my album “Cosmologica” in December 2010 I decided to start the work on “World of Apes 2”. It was exciting from the very beginning.
As most themes from WoA1 happened prior to my birth I experienced the 70th to 90th consciously. This is reflected in the music which seems to sound lighter. For the first time since years the album was finished without advance warning. Even 4 songs had to be left out due to shortage of space. Summa summarum: “World of Apes 2” is a diversified, sometimes rhythmic, but all over coltish piece of art full of modern electronic music. Pop-parts are intended. This is a concept album. Terrific sound guaranteed. Vocals from myself. Music without pointer finger. But with loads of feelings. Plus the usual dosage of Climax. No contemporary witness-samples this time. Simply moonbooter. What is the opposite of boring? Just listen.
