Thank you. To be honest with you, I don't think I have ever heard a more satisfying album of music, than AD2's Wolf City from beginning to end. My biggest grip is that the stupid CD has the songs in the wrong order and the album does not sound as good that way! It was done because "Surrounded by the Stars (I guess) was the better known song in that album.

 

I don't think that "Deutche Nepal" is dark, any more than it is a biting satire. So much so that AD2 satirized their own song and sang it in falsetto on the album "Utopia", which also had musicians from Embryo on it.

 

Nepal, is a place that is generally associated with something spiritual, with the obvious exception of the Chinese involvement since. Yes, a bit romantic on our parts, but still true. By making it German, is to me a joke on the whole thing, including some spiritual things, since Chris Karrer is a well known Sufi and has always been quite qualified to even discuss Castaneda and make fun of him! I don't think it's intention is to be dark at all. Even satire can be in bad taste sometimes, but I really think that this was done in very good taste and in a way, sometimes I think that this was another way of kneeling East Germany at the time, the same way Guru Guru did later on Tango Fango, and so many others did at the time in West Germany before the wall was torn down!

 

We keep thinking that what we call "heaviness" in music is just dark, and it doesn't have to be. Even without the lyrics, I can tell you that the trip through that song is really powerful and has nothing to do with AD2's Hittler setups and satires, which they did more than once ... check out "La Krautoma".
