Alva Noto and Blixa Bargelt handshake.
Awesome diving in deep german sensation with “Ret Marut Handshake” by anbb (Alva Noto and Blixa Bargelt). No need to say this collaborative project between two major icons is german music at his best flavor.
Deliciously mixing Alva Noto’s electronic abstraction and Blixa Bargelt’s voice performance, we meet here actor and political activist Ret Marut, traditional folk music (I wish i was a mole in the ground) and even an pop-like effort (“one”), somehow close to the mighty “Nagorny Karabach” from Einstürzende Neubauten’s “Alles Wieder Offen” last LP.
