Liebe Schallplattenfreunde, Ihr Schallplattenfachexperte möchte ihnen wieder einen bunten Strauß neuer Melodien überreichen und wünscht ihnen viel Freude bei Melodie, Rhythmus und Gesang:
KLAUS LAYER - FOR THE PEOPLE LIKE US
(LP, Redefinition Records, 2014)
The Captain is back with his second Longplayer and once more it's such a blast!
If you are following Klaus for a longer time you'll for sure find some titles you were pumpin the last years in your system. I'm talking bout classics like 'No Joke', 'Comin to your World' or my personal highlight which is at the same time one of my absolutely-favourite-instrumental of all time - 'No Pantomine'! - unbelievable how mighty this monster of a beat comes around and how much power it transfers to me everytime i listen to it.
But the record offers much more, beats like 'Kool', which I had the honor to kick some vocals over together with MC Bomber ("Punchlinegewitter" - Nordachse LP) or 'Animals Garden' are representing what Klaus Layer's sound has been famous for so far - psychedelic boombap instrumentals carried by superheavy drums.
Besides that we get to know new facets, like the ambient-like 'Dreams of Yesterday' and the final 'Symbol of Tomorrow' which stands for what it's named.
In fact Klaus invites us to his very own world full of spirituality, creativity, roughness and above all, love.
Hey Klaus, i'm fucking proud of you. It just gets no realer than this.
And I really really appreciate that one of your two test-pressings for this LP is now in my hands.
In Freundschaft,
MC Shacke

Immer gut gemeint, irgendjemand, immer gut gemeint, letzte Rille...letzte Rille...letzte Rille.
