That last concert is available as a brilliant double album, which apart from countless memorable musical moments, also offers the highest measure of quality as regards equipment, length and production - something which is only to be expected of Samsas Traum. 'Unbeugsam - Unberechenbar - Unsterblich' contains two bulging CDs which contain not only the big Samsas Traum hits such as 'Für Immer', 'Stromausfall im Herzspital', 'Die Zärtlichkeit der Verdammten', 'Heiliges Herz' and 'Mr Misanthropia': the strongest songs from 'Anleitung zum Totsein' are also represented on the album. All are interweaved with those typical, extremely entertaining and almost cabaret-like announcements from Alexander Kaschte which are so loved by the fans, and which suggest a congenial measure of humour behind the facade of biting sarcasm. The 19 songs blow out of the speakers like a storm, but no wonder, as they were mixed with great diligence and dedication in the renowned Proton Recording Studio in Geislingen an der Steige, Germany. Despite crystal clear production, the album loses not a single second of the inimitable live atmosphere which Samsas Traum have been able to generate since the year dot. Whoever hears 'Unbeugsam - Unberechenbar - Unsterblich' is once more standing in the audience, experiencing the excitement and feeling the rhythm - and how the time flies. The elegantly designed 8-panel digipak comes in a high-quality matt finish and in addition to the CDs contains a comprehensive booklet with lots of information, photos and sleevenotes and additionally, a double-sided poster with pictures of Alexander Kaschte which show him just as he would like to be remembered: awe-inspiring, passionate, immersed in his songs - and totally sweaty, tousled and completely rocked out. Amen!

WEENA MORLOCH "Terror Über Alles - Das Weena Morloch-Manifest"

No other band in the German gothic/industrial scene is so shrouded in legend and rumour as Weena Morloch. While recording their bloodcurdling debut album 'Kunst-X=?', the band based around Samsas Traum mastermind Alexander Kaschte caused a fire in the studio. The iconic and likewise long since sold out follow-up 'Kadaverkomplex', which commands astronomical sums on eBay, appeared a few days before the school massacre in Erfurt, Germany and yet due to the megahit 'Kugel im Gesicht (9mm)' (English translation: 'Bullet in the face (9mm)') appeared briefly in the charts and was (mis)used by ResistantX, who carried out a shooting spree in Emsdetten, in the soundtrack to his violent videos. The ear-splitting album 'Epanalepsis', which was much loved in Merzbow circles, appeared as part of the limited edition Samsas Traum DVD box set 'Einer gegen alle' and thus vanished into the eternal pit of noise. And you can could only hear the band's EPs by visiting one of Weena Morloch's rare improvisation concerts or by seeking out the recordings on the internet with the aid of a microscope.
