Strafe FR - Lufthunger (Touch, Soleilmoon Recordings, 1991)

1991's Lufthunger succeeded in combining several concepts into a coherent whole. Ostensibly, it is a 10-part symphony stretching from the Cambrian period of 530 million years ago through to the most recent 2 million years of the Quaternary period, describing and mirroring geological and ecological evolution. On a more musical level, it explores themes of gradual and catastrophic change, the sleeve notes pointing both to how human perception of prehistory is affected to a great extent by our negative view of catastrophes, and also to how in the much briefer history of music, sudden new developments have also been viewed negatively. Strafe FR suggest a third important influence: "Lufthunger could only be created in the year 1990. That is why it does not only deal with the pre-history! At that time the Gulf War ('Desert Storm') took place, which certainly influenced us emotionally and in terms of general atmosphere." Strafe FR Interview

Strafe Für Rebellion - Vögel (Touch, 1989)

"Music is more than an acoustic phenomenon. The perception of music is dependent on the ability (and capacity) of the human ear - how the ear functions technically and how the brain is able to work out those informations, knit them together with the information from the other senses, your thoughts and your individual experiences."

Strafe Für Rebellion ‎- Der Säemann LP (UN, 1987) + 5 12'' (UN, Touch, 1988)

"As you probably know we do not use any electronic music instruments. We do not condemn electronic music instruments at all, it is just not our approach. One central aspect of our work is the use of field recordings, either wild or domesticated animals, machines and all kinds of noises that we think are peculiar in some way. We go searching for sounds during trips, we occasionally find them or we consciously go looking for special sounds (visiting a zoo, for example). When we do field recordings already some compositional elements come into being - they go beyond the pure documentary sounds and beyond the quality of our normal archive. We also use 'normal' music instruments and 'prepare' them, there are also self-made music instruments or noise machines. But we never use anyone else's pre-recorded sounds; we have never used samplers nor rhythm machines." Strafe FR Interview
