Fourteen times painting black, 14 times also thinking colourful. The down and the up, the dark and the light. Munich's 88:KOMAFLASH show on their second epochal album Untergang /// Wiederaufbau that the world must not and should not know unidirectionality. Armed with sometimes darkly shimmering, sometimes electronically wriggling, sometimes downright funky beats, Omega Takeshi reports from a world that has become shopping centre, cramped and unbearable. Alongside much that is oppressive, however, the small diamond in the rough of hope is always passed along, encouraged to dream and goals set that go beyond torching the status quo. An uprising on tape.
Untergang /// Wiederaufbau is an album that hurts and is fun and makes you think and nod your head in equal measure. Just as a rap album should be.
