Der Osten Ist Rot = Digipack = (CD)
"Der Osten Ist Rot" was originally released in 1984 on Virgin Records. The album, on which among others Jaki Liebezeit (Can) and Conny Plank participated, appears here for the first time on CD!
Looking at the eventful biography of Can bassist Holger Czukay, one might come to the conclusion that the experimental musician was an eccentric and irrepressible free spirit. But Czukay repeatedly emphasized in interviews that he was always dependent on a musical partner in his creative work, whether in the form of a concrete counterpart or through radio waves and later the Internet. But most of his partners were flesh and blood. His oeuvre, which is akin to cinema, is adorned with a cast equal to that of a Scorcese film: Brian Eno, Phew, Rolf Dammers, David Sylvian, Annie Lennox, Jah Wobble, the colleagues of Can - the list could be continued far and wide. Many of these masterpieces are out of print today, and so the label Grönland, which earlier this year released the highly acclaimed retrospective CINEMA on Holger's 80th birthday, has made it its business to make Holger's music accessible again in remastered reissues.
