The rumble of pneumatic hammers which were using by workers who are renovating the building where my office is located and clamour of grinders and sews which another workers were cutting concrete pavers and curbs gave me the idea for today's post. Post’s main theme is industrial rock, whose flagship representative was German band Kowalski. This band, which consisted of four musicians from Cologne, Bochum and Wuppertal can be considered the pioneers of this music genre. Music that was created by them in the years 1982-1984 was very avant-garde and so timeless. Noone has played like them in these years, so even though the band has performed at major rock festivals and renowned music clubs in all over Europe, the global success passed them by. They left one full length album titled "Schlagende Wetter" or "Overman Underground" - English version (1982, Virgin 205099) and several singles, produced by Conny Plank, which hardly grew old and it sounds like it was a product created today. They reminded of themselves in 2013, releasing another album of previously unreleased songs, but sadly they promoted it giving the only one concert on 19 January 2013 in Bochum. In conclusion I recommend to listen one of their best songs called “Liliom”.
