PERKINS & FEDERWISCH - ...SOMETHING KNOWN AS MUSIC (K7)

"Perkins and Federwisch are an electronic pop duo inspired by other electronic pop duos, such as Modern Talking and Captain & Tennille. After a brief foray into educational audio systems, on their third studio album the pair return to entertainment music, specifically sentimental ballads and pop standards. While working within the formalized structures of the Euskirchen Avant-Schlager Scene, the seven songs cover a range of themes including aggrievement, remembering things that happened in the past, and remaining sensible in a world that doesn't make sense. So dim the lights, pour yourself a chilled glass of dessert wine, double check that you turned off the oven, and let Chip and Uli entertain you with something known as music! Uli Federwisch is the CEO of a company the produces weight limit signs for elevators and bridges, an amateur television producer, a board member of a medium-sized nationally-recognized Nordic Walking club, a former swimming pool lifeguard, and, as evidenced on this tape, a musician. Chip Perkins is currently finishing up an unpaid remote internship doing IT troubleshooting for the cassette organization Strategic Tape Reserve after which he hopes to get a job working as a scientist who does experiments using snake venom."
