Release: 31.3.2000

Munich based trio Suchtrupp revitalize the experimental/ambient line of Disko B that already
brought us the adventureous sounds of Susanne Brokesch, The Rancho Relaxo Allstars, Cube & Sphere and Albrecht Kunze. Suchtrupp – consisting of Alexander Gutsch, Sabine Gödel and Jens Former - started out in 1996 to combine their knowledge of classical minimal music with current new electronica
.
They are the founders of the ”Ambient Lab” events in munichs legendary Ultraschall club where they confronted ravers with improvised sessions including electronic equipment as well as guitars and of course
the violin of professional orchester musician Sabine Gödel which also plays an important part on Suchtrupp’s debut album.
The music on ”Heile Welt” was produced in two sessions with Chicks On Speed producer Tobias Neumann.
The musical spectrum reaches from warm analog melodic tracks in the tradition of Kreidler/To Rococo Rot (”Herzschlag” and ”Mimikry”) to ambient experiments which echo Suchtrupp’s minimal music experiences. Tracks like the almost 10 minutes long ”Seifenblasen” or the 15 minutes ”Dr. Kern” (a tribute to their illegal and freestylish friday night electronic music club in munich) are slowly evolving hypnotic journeys that show Suchtrupp spaced out and atmospheric without compromises whereas on ”Impulsdimensionen” we hear an unawaited expansion of the sound spectrum of the violin via electronic reworking.
Suchtrupp’s obvious references and deep relationship to a pathetic ”romantic” tradition (see alone the the album- and tracktitles) are also reflected in the fantastic cover artwork, where we find Neuschwanstein, the fabulous castle of legendary freaky bavarian King Ludwig II. and the band in a rowing boat on the cloudy sea where he found his mysterious death.
