"DATAROCK's "RED"

A small step for DATAROCK...

It's a brand new year, and even though you're all either in the red, seeing red, on red alert or being caught red handed DATAROCK's got good news for each and everyone of you: the difficult second album is finally finished and it's the best thing to happen mankind since the C64. The red letter day isn't till June, but we'll be letting you in on a few red hot secrets long before.

DATAROCK's "RED" is no less than a masterpiece based on the good old principle of artistic theft ("amateurs borrow, professionals steal"), and of course again we've dug ourselves into the data about the rock of the late seventies & early eighties: the art, the music, the films, the subversive & popular culture, the new theory, the new technology and all that new equipment. As I'm sure we all agree there's never been a more exiting period of time within the world's collective cultural history. The years between '76 and '83 are in all ways the peak of cultural evolution. The zenith, the rise and the fall.

When starting to produce we decided to try and create a brand new trinity of inspiration. Fela Kuti, Afrika Bambaataa & Kraftwerk were to replace Talking Heads, DEVO and Happy Mondays, and all the equipment to go on the album had to be made before 1983. Of course, as Sophocles taught us long ago, one simply can't escape the natural course of events, so yet again that original trinity was right back in place. Gerald Cassale of DEVO even ended up helping out creatively in the process, by coincidence we ended up on the same stage as the Mondays on a number of occasions, and Talking Heads, well, I guess we all know DATAROCK's pretty much just some kind of tribute band anyways. No point in hiding the evident right, so one of the tracks is nothing but a tribute where we list some of DATAROCK's favorite Talking Heads tunes. The title's "True Stories" as in David Byrne's motion picture from 1986, and the video is all about paying homage to their classic concert movie "Stop Making Sense" from 1984.

We've essentially been working with the same guys and studios back home as we did on "DATAROCK DATAROCK", but this time we added a few stays with the Reverend over at Wendyhouse in London - some call it a house, we call it a home. For whatever reason this added a tiny bit of a new flavor, and though we're not quite sure where it all came from, somehow DATAROCK ended up doing something new. We got a little bit of West End, a hint of the Caribbean, a dash of West Africa and a whole lot of pulsating postmodernity. Was it the Commonwealth rushing trough our veins? Was it just hanging out in that multicultural metropolis?"
