STROM & WASSER

"When you release your 13th album, the biggest danger is probably repeating yourself. Maybe that's why Heinz Ratz did everything differently this time. He went to a studio in Italy. He built the musical framework with the very young musicians in his band. He worked with two drummers and two basses. He simply turned his own bass around for half of the compositions, with the thin side up... and even if the accusation of repeating oneself seems completely absurd with Strom & Wasser, they have succeeded in creating an incredibly refreshing album with this trick, cheeky and modern and taking up the big topics of our time with playful ease."
