Style, meaning and reviews
The film Monks - The Transatlantic Feedback came in his almost eight years of production, over and over again to financial problems. The Monk's music was often referred to by certain media as non- relevant. Therefore, on the one hand, a new independent film financing model and on the other hand, a kind of musical evidence and experiment are made with " Silver Monk Time ".
The title " Silver Monk Time " was borrowed from the following rumor: After the release of "Black Monk Time " in May 1966, the Monks were already working on the idea for a second album, which should consist of only one piece. The title of this new album should be " Silver Monk Time ".
For the 40 years later released album " Silver Monk Time " was by no means tries unlike traditional tribute albums to copy the original pieces of the Monks. Rather, the 29 bands was applied to experiment with the musical concepts of the Monks. Mouse on Mars seemed to express this in the extensive booklet accompanying the double CD as follows: " mouse on mars have tried to disassemble the monks so that after the reconstruction of the inestimable influence of this tape is proved to the pop music of the 21st century. rhythm, sound and melody fused with the monks become a driving lava on which the maximum energetic music of Dionysus surfs down into the valley and disco balls here as apples tears of the trees. "
The Neue Zürcher Zeitung writes: " Artistic similar creative and undaunted as the Monks are their grandchildren for a form of pop music in which it is aesthetically and musically daring to discover in which once the irreconcilable before the self-satisfied sets the tone ."
The renowned British "The Wire" chose " Silver Monk Time " under the best compilation albums of the year 2007: " Unlike many tribute projects did fall flat due to Those Involved being Either overawed or ignorant of the original material, " silver monk time " Succeeds Because the Participants have taken the group 's primitive rock surge as a template to experiment with. As a result the sound of The Monks is Treated to a 21st century workout with synthesizers and beat tracks threaded through the original quartet 's already way out psychotic minimalism ".
Two original members of the Monks, Dave Day and Gary Burger, played on some of the songs " Silver Monk Time " with. Burger and Alec Empire updated the anti-war track " Monk Time ". Faust and Burger led the soldiers story of the documentary further on the play " Beware - The Transatlantic Feedback ". Mouse on Mars and the Havletones took some banjo Outtakes by Dave Day. Psychic TV and Mense Reents took a few Interviewschnippsel to help. Burger Day and added banjo, guitar and vocals added to the Afri -Cola piece by Charles Wilp.
The cover of the double - CD is based on the motif of movie posters on Monks - The Transatlantic Feedback, which was drawn by the German painter Daniel Richter.
