new traces for old aces

wollie kaiser`s new timeghost project (pun: illegitimate literal translations of Zeitgeist) is taking its place in the midst of the meanwhile vast jumble of musical retrospectives and the process of coming to musical terms with the past which as a whole is obviously provoked by the awareness of "staying on the doorstep" to a new millenium.

nonetheless this project does not play with an emotion of transfigured nostalgia nor does it attempt the questionable try to reproduce the feeling of life of the old times.

au contraire: a music of the here and now has developed; music on the verge of the millenium, shaped by modern grooves and electronic sounds; music with a climate of contemporary influence breathing a new spirit into creative rock and pop concepts regardless of category barriers. small faces was the name of a sixties band which was an important voice of the setting off, new orientation and youths growing self-confidence. sixties, swinging london, mods, beat, naivety, both kinds of dope - love and others - were characteristics respectively song topics of this formerly quite well known band and its time.

all this serves as background - on the main scenery of the stage this raw material gets mercilessly catapulted into the present and there mutates to a new up-to-date life. it is astonishing how sharp the contours of the meaning of even the mostly naive lyrics can get while spreading out of this new born baby childęs mouth.
