Robert Gorl: PARIS TAPES, THE CD

$19.99
Description
Originally a RECORD STORE DAY 2018 release, we have few copies left of this limited album,
In the early 1980s Robert Görl and Gabi Delgado enjoyed tremendous success as the duo DAF,
until they split up in 1982 following a dispute. In 1986, after a short-lived attempt at a reunion,
they broke up again, and this time for a significantly longer period of time. Robert Görl says that
was a very difficult time for him and that he was deeply disappointed in his musical partner and
friend; while working on the LP 1st Step to Heaven they had such a big falling-out that he lost
all interest in making music.

This LP and CD features tracks, that Robert Görl recorded in the late 80ies in Paris and that he
was never able to finish due to various personal problems/accidents etc.
A cassette of the unfinished songs from Paris, the dramatic, vivid, sometimes noxiously sibilant,
yet always tenderly wrought tracks that Robert Görl recorded during his most profound life crisis
turned up years later in a suitcase he had deposited in his brother’s barn. They remain musical
sketches; Görl says he never felt the desire to make a real album out of them. They are sketches,
but, in them, an entire time speaks to us, as does a life at a turning point; and the light that
shimmers above the dark foundations of the noxious beats guides us into the future: everything
ends with something beginning…

Released Mid May 2018 by Gronland.
