DV1000 - TRUBEL IN DER ERSCHEINUNGSWELT by Oberst Gregor, album [70:47]


"Perception of technology through animal's eyes" was the key sentence in the linernotes of DV100 when this record first appeared as a 7 track album in 1999. Now, nine years later here is the expanded reissue that features all 11 songs that were recorded under the spell of the Trubel-idea and the key sentence for DV1000 is "nature's struggle against mankind". Oberst Gregor [DV600/DV700/DV1200/DV1900/DV2000/DV2700] blends on this album visions of the decaying industrial anthroposphere with the inscrutable elementariness of nature. The imagery evokes things like converting yourself into a one-man underwater vessel, a futuristic and Felliniesque silent-movie-like depiction of downfall, vast caverns of surrealistic space, fog and the crack of dawn, undiscovered aquatic species, a rotten power plant in the jungle, melancholy on a warm summer night, the different tedium of the Brazilian cathodic tube culture and more.

This album has it's own very special sonic cosmos that lets the listener indulge in the moods and atmospheres it creates; you will feel familiar and alienated with it at the same time. Clever scientists would use the disc for underscoring their brain activities but also the ordinary technocrat may appreciate its charm.

As for the cover we have the privilege of introducing British designer Alex Hislop into the DV world who blesses this release with his excellent artwork.
