Damned. A five year break is simply too fucking long. Emotionally (as
musically), a plenty of never-really-released stuff will build up to
that specific point where you just have to let it go, you need to put
it out.

Otherwise your head will explode. Literally. At the end, you won't
live forever and in these, our, mainly superficial times, a time
where it appears as if you just couldn't stand to sit down and calmly
listen to a (merely) 50 minute longplayer, we are in desperate need
of somebody coming around ordering us to be silent. To “Sit”, “Stop!”
or “Listen deeply! Now!”
“Second Wind Phenomenon” might be that essential imperative. Ever
since Bob Humid - with his 2001 double-release “Twisted Respairs” /
“Twisted Despairs” - came up with a potential way out of the
stylistic dead-end and genre-autism the drill /drum'n'bass scene had
been in for years, thereby enhancing the good will of the national
music press, he had been reviewed enthusiastically throughout Spex,
Intro, De:Bug, Westzeit, to name just a few of them, cherishing the
filigree effort in his beat- and soundscapes. (excerpt from the

..born tel aviv 1978 and after spending some long years constructing
and reconstructing some weird freaky techno/harsh electro scene (and
he won´t bother to bore you with the details)...
.. he got totally bored and eventually escaped from israel in 2003 to
kick in some nazi mould teeth and piss in some boring german
gabbatrance robots..
..gave up techno dj star immortality to wake up in a dead city called
berlin..
.. and now..? Producing music under the name of AnneFrankZappa and...
and basicly still bored to death. (Poingi about Poingi :-)
