I have posted a few Xmal Deutschland gigs on Aural Sculptors in the past but this is the first post of solo material from Anja Huwe (although I have plugged her recent album 'Codes' a couple of times). Anja has only recently started touring again and her set is a mixture of material from 'Codes' and Xmal Deutschland songs.
I was trying to fathom what is is that draws me to Anja and Xmal and I came to the conclusion that what she/they do represents a hybrid of punk/post punk and electronic music that sits quite neatly in the midst of my musical preferences, although primarily, then and now their conventional band set up is augmented by keyboards, rather than them being an electronic band as such.
I also like the fact that Xmal material and much of Codes is sung in German. Songs sound better in the language that they were written in I think, more often than not, something gets lost in translation and the songs suffer as a result. I have all of Kraftwerk's albums in English and German but by preference listen to the German language versions. And the thing is I don't even speak German (despite having a half German wife).
I must get to see Anja Huwe somewhere soon.
This one is from Chatts, so many thanks as always for the share! Please note that this is a 24 bit version so will need to be converted to 16 bit if you want to burn it.
