Tanz Auf Dem Bilderberg

The band Felsenreich releases their fourth studio album with dance on the Bilderberg. Four years have passed since the last full-time release and 15 new tracks with a length of almost an hour of playing time now see the light of day. The pieces are characterised by wide melody arches and by the alternating vocals typical of rock kingdom. Over all this, Romy's voice hovers as i point. After the intro, you hear rather familiar rock kingdom sounds with anchor, and yet in the further course, compared to earlier times, a lot has changed. Mathia's son relies largely on harmony in his successful compositions and the guitars step into the background this time. Sometimes the direction even goes clearly to the dance! Best examples of this document the pieces -The Priest- or -Infront of Moon-, with their forward-driving rhythm. -Tanz auf dem Bilderberg- bietet mit -Wintersong-, Fever Emotions- und -Wintergrau- auch ruhige, getragene Enträge. Renato was inspired by the melodies and brought themes of his emotional world into harmony with it. Longings, losses but also apparent answers in surreal fever worlds are thematised. In the case of -Brainloop or Sophias Brunnquell- (with a musical quote by J.S Bach), these rather gloomy moods are reversed. The album title allows, according to the statement of the band, an ambiguity. You can dance to the individual pieces. You can also dance to the pictures of our lives. Individual events from this manifest themselves into images. They pile up to a mountain from the top of which we see down on them. Rocky was also about making a statement. Thus, the title -Black- can be understood as decisive for a further allusion in terms of dance on the Bilderberg. This is clearly about the consumer society characterised by commerce and its proliferation towards consumer fascism. This is also expressed in the cover artwork, in which the hierarchy pyramid, these neoliberal systems, functions as a symbol, which balances the globe as a monument. Networks and societies of a few keep the rest of the world hostage. The so-called conference on the Bilderberg, a meeting of the influential and powerful of our world, from politics, military and business, is an example. With the means of the Internet, unprecedented control and control mechanisms are provided. After all, all this stands -The Earth - as a declaration of love on our planet, which should actually belong to everyone. Felsenreich combines all these themes again and again with instrumental pieces on her new album, which work as bridges but also resting points.
