Re-Release der SIDE EFFECTS-LP 1984 von dieser vergessenen norddeutschen Industrialband, dazu eine rare 12“ und niemals zuvor veröffentlichtes live-Material. Bester elektronisch-perkussiver „old school“ Ritual-Industrial, etwas martialistisch und mit Einsatz von Samples, und die für frühen Industrial so typischen Echo-Trompeten dürfen auch nicht fehlen... irgendwo zwischen CRANIOCLAST, MUSLIMGAUZE, TG, aber auch BOURBONESE QUALK oder HET ZWEET kommen einem in den Sinn..... ein sehr lohnenswerter Re-Release eines wichtigen Kapitels deutscher Industrial-Kultur.
“The mysterious and legendary project Gerechtigkeits Liga has returned with a long awaited rerelease of 70 minutes of rare material, which was recorded throughout the middle of the 1980`s. The prestigous release comes painstakingly packaged in a elaborately designed silver printed six sided digipack which includes the rare 12" "The games must go on", which was originally released in 1984 on G.L`s own label, Zyklus records, in a small edition of 500 copies.
Also now available for the first time as part of the collection is the LP "Hypnotischer Existenzialismus", which was originally released on SPK`s label "Side Effects", in 1985, at that time still being run by Graeme Revell. As a real gem there are 7 additional Bonus live tracks, 6 of which have never seen the dark of night. All tracks were recorded live in New York City, in 1984. The artwork of the digipack comprises some known cover reproductions and unknown artwork, which has been carefully integrated into the original coverdesigns.
At the time of its conception the 4-track 12" Maxie "The games must go on", was a pioneering achievement of sound experimentation consisting of varying different rythmic layers and a diverse selection of tribal as well as "modern" percussive instruments. Tape manipulations completely replaced the use of samplers ( on the 12" as well as on the LP ). Synthesized equipment and drum machines were heavily treated through digital delays, making the sound very intense and powerfull. The expressiveness of the music comes partly from the spaces in between the notes. It is therefore mental as well as physical, for it is the mind that links some of the notes together...
The critically acclaimed LP "Hypnotischer Existenzialismus" contains 11tracks and was partly influenced by the writings of E.M. Cioran. The "styles" are ranging from dark ambient, classic -old school post industrial and tribal industrial. It's a composition of apocalyptic soundscapes which open up into longer sequences of heavy drumbeats and minimal metal percussion, reversed trumpet and Fanfaren sounds, animal screams and tribal chants. All with the possible aim to take the listener onto a journey of evolutionarystages throughout the 20th century and maybe beyond. -The G.L live bonus tracks from 1984 are a very valuable document and testimony of the cacophony, insanity and intensity of those unique, twisted yet enchanting G.L performances, suffused full of raw power and energy.” [press release]
