On "Derbe
respect, alder" Faust surprise their fans by joining
forces with American hiphop artists Dälek. Dälek
are a three-piece hiphop-outfit from New Jersey. Will Brooks
(a.k.a. MC Dälek) is responsible for lyrics, Alap Momin
(a.k.a. The Octopus) is the producer and Hsi-Chang Linaka
(a.k.a. Still) handles the turntables. Their open-mindedness
towards musical influences was boundless from the beginning
and so it is small wonder that they soon hit on German Krautrock
survivors Faust as a source for interesting samples.
In the course of
two years three sessions which spawned the music on this album took
place. The high point of these saw the two outfits appearing side by
side on stage at the Bonn Bad Kilbi festival 2003 in Düdingen,
Switzerland. What Dälek and many of their hiphop contemporaries
express through words – protest against and rejection of the
social status quo – is exactly what Faust have expressed trough
music during the last 30+ years. Consequently, this album is nothing
for the faint-hearted, its music is merciless, straight in your face,
at times even brutal. At times it sounds like harsh Industrial or "Illbient".
The album's final
track is an update of "T-electronique", a track originally
released on Faust's 1999 album "Ravvivando". Dälek lend
the song additional lyrics and shoot it through with samples, so that
it sounds like a remix of the original. From this perspective "Derbe
respect, alder" could be seen in a straight line with the remix
idea of the last two Faust albums "Freispiel" and "Patchwork
1971-2002".
