RamTatTa - ALTE SAU – Alte Sau

Take TRIO, CLOWNS UND HELDEN, and IDEAL, mix them thoroughly, add a splash of HANS-A-PLAST and TOMMI STUMPFF, and you get a blend of Minimal Music and Neue Deutsche Welle, with more or less meaningful lyrics. The lyrics of the debut album by ALTE SAU would fit the description of being rather less meaningful; at least I can't make much of them. Additionally, there’s often an intentionally off-key singing by singer Jens Rachut, who also bears some resemblance to Claus from KNOCHENFABRIK, but sometimes sounds almost like CASPER. But only almost, and the whole thing is a bit of an acquired taste. Despite multiple listens, I couldn't get used to it, and then there’s also the girlish singing of Rebecca, who otherwise plays the organ. In the duet of the two, the singing sounds even more disharmonious. Now we just need Raoul, who sits behind the drums, and the trio is fully introduced.
Even though "Alte Sau" is the first album by ALTE SAU, singer Jens, who incidentally is celebrating his 5th zero this year (!), has played in several bands that were known beyond the borders of Hamburg or still are. Starting 30 years ago with ANGESCHISSEN, through BLUMEN AM ARSCH DER HÖLLE, DACKELBLUT, and OMA HANS, but "Alte Sau" is by far the worst album that has ever come into my hands from Jens. Unfortunately....
In terms of vocal harmony => 0 points.
Musically, the 40 minutes... well... okay, 3 points.
The booklet is extensive, but extremely dull and boring, 2 points.
The only positive aspect is that the sound is well mixed, but giving many points here and then stating the average would completely distort the quality of the album.
The only plus point is that the 12 songs will also be released on vinyl!
With the special point, it has at least become 3 points.... There really isn't more to it!
