DAAU - Fresh meat for the masses (1996)

DAAU (Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung) - Fresh meat for the masses / Touralbum 1996 (1996)


The first album. Recorded live, with very few overdubs or other electronic wizardry, at the 'instituut voor dans en danspedagogie' (HIDD). Essential to anyone interested in DAAU's unique mixture of styles.

Drieslagstelsels are complex, dynamic compositions created out of improvisation. Drieslagstelsel 2 became one of the band's signature tunes and a highlight of countless gigs, combined in one miniature symphony with 'Suds & Soda'.

There are two (musically identical) prints of this album. The cover of the original release (on Jack & Johnny Recordings) is fairly simple on the front, and has nude pictures of the band members inside. The cover of the 1996 reissue on Sony Classical (called Touralbum 1996) confronts you with an appetizing view of a loaf of raw meat.
