  • Anne Clark - Sleeper In Metropolis - For more than 30 years Anne Clark has held a unique place in contemporary music.
    Combining literary, socially engaged texts with innovative and genre-breaking music, she has covered every kind of style, while at the same time maintaining her own identity on each and every recording, whether it be the samples (before sampling became a concept) and electronically treated acoustics of The Sitting Room (1982), to the ground-breaking analogue synth classics of Sleeper In Metropolis (1983) and Our Darkness (1984).
    Consistently looking for new ways of expression and communication through the emotion of music and language, Anne seeks to not only challenge herself but her audience also.

    Was für ein geiler kaum zu glaubener 40 Jahre alter Sound. Anne Clark höre ich seit meinem 14 Lebensjahr, und jetzt mit 51 natürlich immer noch sehr gerne. Live auch ein absoluter Hochgenuss :)).

    From Belgium: one of the songs you haven't heard for years, and then suddenly when you hear it again you play it for 10 times one after another and it brings back godless old time memories on the dancefloor. Forever young🤗

      Mag ja sein aber ohne die poetische Kraft von Anne Clark (und ihre unglaubliche Stimme dazu) wäre es nur ein electric dancefloor Song. Es ist die Kombination von zwei Hochbegabten, die es zu einem Meisterstück machen, beide waren notwendig dafür.
      Anne Clark: "Outside the cancerous city spreads
      Like an illness
      It's symptoms
      In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations
      Tailed by the silent spotlights
      Of society created paranoia..."
      It's a damn masterpiece...

      @@yorritsimons815 Blij om dat te horen dat er nog andere jonge mensen dit terug leren kennen. Ik ben er 28 ondertussen en luister naar (bijna) elk genre van jaren 30 jazz tot dance van midden jaren 90. Daarna ik weet het niet maar sinds dan is er vooral in de pop bijna niks interessant meer gemaakt precies... Alles klinkt hetzelfde. Jammer dat veel jonge mensen niet op zoek gaan naar andere muziek dan hun wordt voorgeschoteld en alleen maar luisteren naar wat hun vrienden luisteren heb ik het gevoel.

      i actually went to Moscow that summer, from Berlin, where i'm from, after i had lived in Brixton in squats for a while. it was considered a little bit badass of a trip then because the train went through the egg shaped chernobyl contamination zone.
      the Russian government offered that trip for a whole train full of german kids for cheap.
      it was a commie project. i was militant anarchist but they didn't mind. too bad I didn't meet you then because I didn't really manage to get a connection to anything real on the ground in those few days.
      not sure if that trip has anything to do with but now I'm so pro Russian that bad stuff could happen to me here - basically Scott Ritter style. it's almost like this music is a type of intelligent thinking that they don't make anymore... at least here.

    As a sleeper in metropolis
    You are insignificance
    Dreams become entangled in the system
    Environment moves over the sleeper:
    Conditioned air
    Conditions sedated breathing
    The sensation of viscose sheets on naked flesh
    Soft and warm
    But lonesome in the blackened ocean of night
    Confined in the helpless safety of desires and dreams
    We fight our insignificance
    The harder we fight
    The higher the wall
    Outside the cancerous city spreads
    Like an illness
    It's symptoms
    In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations
    Tailed by the silent spotlights
    Of society created paranoia
    No alternative could grow
    Where love cannot take root
    No shadows will replace
    The warmth of your contact
    Love is dead in metropolis
    All contact through glove or partition
    What a waste
    The City -
    A wasting disease

    Nearly three years ago, a few days after the first lockdown was imposed here in Belgium, I had to pick up a laptop charger I forgot at my office, in Brussels. As everyone was in a state of shock and feared a simple human contact could lead you to death, I decided to pick up the device around midnight, to avoid bumping into someone else. I took my car. The city was empty. During the 15 minutes ride from my home to my office, not a single person on the streets, no cars, nothing. Everything looked surreal, like in some post-apocalyptic movie. I decided to pull over, take a cinematic approach for this ride and play some music that i might find appropriate. I choosed this masterpiece. Although the nearly two years that followed this ride were among the worst a lot of people ever lived, I think I could pay to live those 15 minutes again and cross an empty metropolis listening to Anne Clark.
