Ernst
Ulrich Deuker and Band are E.U.COMMISSION
22 years after
his major top hits like "SEX IN DER WÜSTE" ('SEX
IN THE DESERT') with much respected
act of the early 80's German New Wave Movement called IDEAL and
after several other solo projects like
'BassBizz', 'Kae E and the Cable Dance Band', 'Das Optische Konzert'
which were presented mainly on
jazzier type stages and in the berlin subways, Ideal Bassist E.U.Deuker
is back on CD in classic form.
E.U. is an idealist,
bassist, anti-popper, chansonnier, the nice guy from next door,
contrebass-clarinetist,
pedestrian, subversive-professor, involuntary guitarist, mathematician.
As all that,
with his deep, multilingual voice and the big horn, he charms the
listeners out of the weave of
their musical hearing habits.In his box of tricks we find next to
thought out songs of dark beauty mainly
old-fashioned instrumentation (bass, guitar, drums) and of course
the collegues that know how to use
those effectively.
guitar, electric
bass and vocals: he himself
on drums: Thomas
Wydler, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds drummer, currently also busy
with a new
solo project
guest-guitar:
dirty old man FJ Krüger, classic car pitching, gold record
collecting guitar god of the
Berlin szene
upright bass:
young Luc Ratif-LeDuc, who in his function as ("Mach Schnell!")

Berlin, where this album was produced.
Inbetween and
far out: other guests of the old-school that one has to find on
the cd itself.
