Nothings
save, nothings sacred and the studio is a pressure cooker.
Beats,
soundscapes, collages and mixing, acoustic instruments and fully developed
songs, it`s all there.
At
the same time in the same place.
And
it seems to make perfect sense...
Bass
& electronics, sometimes drums and the will to constantly reinvent
the music are the ingredients of a rope live show. No two gigs are the
same.
For
the fun of it arrangements might spontaneously be abandonded and other
possibilites explored. Rope samples, loops and remixes itself real time.
Rope
is a very good band.

"There΄s
no other way: Rope
must
be doing it like that - they prefer to take the risk to even get to the
point where it all breaks into pieces again. Rope΄s heaven could
be called "acoustic instruments", but then they don΄t hesitate to
sending the whole into the hell of the digital bubblemachine. As long as
it stays complete, authentic and soulful." (TIP, Berlin 8/97)
"Berlin
is not known for its thrilling, high-quality rock, having produced loads
of derivative, mediocre bands in recent years. But Rope are different:
the quartet fuse jazz, folk blues, trip hop and electronics into a seamless
whole, making for some of the subtlest, most engaging music anywhere.
(Time Out, UK, 1/98)
"Free,
so to speak." (SPEX, Hamburg, 4/98)
"This
album somehow keeps finding its way into your CD player and you`re
not
exactly sure how" (DE:Bug..., Berlin, 4/98)
