more business than art; more politcians than artists "Relativist, anti-bourgeois, anti-capitalist and activist conception of life, of political and diplomatic intelligence, a manifesto of inquietude and energy in which art occupied only a minuscule place, which would even direct itself against art so long as art remained a profit-seeking product of a compact bourgeois class." Die Kritik am System innerhalb des Systems mit den Mitteln des Systems: das ist Problem und Aufgabe innerhalb zeitgenössischer Popmusik, die ebendiesen Anspruch an sich selbst hat. Der US-Elektro-Vierer positioniert sich dementsprechend, verkabelt sich mit Richard H. Kirk und Burroughs genauso wie mit MTV und tanzt mit Tribal-Tech-House den Widerspruchs-Tango. Immer diese Widersprüche, aber Dialektik kann so schön sein... A moment of life concretely and deliberately constructed by the collective organization of a unitary ambiance and a game of events." Should it prove too difficult to see this is what this collective actually does, then: You'd Look Good in Jackboots 08.23: Kevin Max Cotes d' Armor (True Rebels) Out Tuesday The long-anticipated Kevin Max album Cotes d' Armor (True Rebels) is released 8.24.10, and available on CD or digital download directly from the dPulse Recordings Store.
