Astral Fuck's first release was "Seelenbahn nach Altona",
available on tape and on some sort of "selfmade" CD in
1996.

Inspired by such illustrating acts like THROBBING
GRISTLE, SPK, NIN and EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN, as well as the "enfant
terrible" of Avantgarde Music - JOHN ZORN, Japan-Noise and the well-known
Belgian Marc Dutroux, ASTRAL FUCK created experimental New Music with the
means of the Industrial Culture. Lots of samples, walls of noises, decomposed
structures, distorted sounds and screams, including lyrics and pure dadaistic
vocals, electronics, machines and metal percussion formed a disturbing
medley, reflecting the contrast between total collapse and a "brave new
world". Beyond the two poles of celebrating destruction and moralizing,
ASTRAL FUCK tried to mirror the unconscious changes of human urges…
In 1997 "A Cocktail of Excretion" was released on tape.
It best represents the different musical ideas of ASTRAL FUCK, as well
as their great philosophies and analyses of misacted behaviour, suicide,
perverted psychos and so on…Manuel quit the project in 1996. After Josy
had continued as a one-man project for a while, Josy J. was joined by Tristan
Totgeburt, Pedo Philip and L. Zeimet in October 1996, not to forget various
special guests, appearing from time to time. L. Zeimet quit the ASTRAL
FUCK in 1998. |
