lol folks why would someone click on the 'rather death' box for these informative posts? lots of ungrateful people online..
How did you ever learn about the existence of this? There is no much informative stuff out there, save for the page you found the image in and an entry in the german wikipedia (as well as in the polish but I cannot read it).
That 120years.net page is most interesting. Browsing through it I've been reminded about the existence of the 'trautonium' and a piece written for it by no less that Paul Hindemith. I actually also knew it, it's just that I had forgotten it; it's only some months since I finished reading Krenek's memoirs (Im Atem der Zeit, why it's only the german translation commercially available rather than the english original I cannot tel), and I now remember he mentions P.H. (whom he was rather envious of) was always chasing after the latest trends and even ended up writing the aforementioned piece.
Greetings!
I so envy the voice (and speed) of H.R. They were one of my favorite hardcore bands, at least until I found out about their raging homophobia. Ah, well...
Pete, thank you for you defense but it's not necessary ;) I love it! I find it amusing and wonderful that a person would click on 'rather death' for such a benign thing. It cheers me up every time!

Johannes, I am actually impressed; how did you mange to find the image? I probably have 120years.net bookmarked someplace (have 1000's of music haunts I never have time to visit!) however I didn't get this most interesting image from there. I have actually posted Hindemith's Trautonium Sonata here, on a disc of rare Hindemith sonatas no less. I still haven't read the Krenek, mostly due to the fact that I cannot speak proper German. Even with the similarities, throw Yiddish my way and I am in more familiar territory!

Scraps, oh man do I agree!! H.R. was just explosive, he had the power of an atomic bomb on stage. And his signature raspy voice was just kickass, and that melt-your-ears-and-face off velocity!! My favorite example still is "I Against I", and I love the way it just rams it's sonic head through the "Intro" with that special raw guitar Bad Brains sound...and then H.R. come in, and I simply go wild!!

Dear Tzadik,
google has a nice image search engine. Just enter images.google.com, click the camera icon on the search box and, on the popup, either paste an image's url (link) or upload it (if you have it on your hard disk). Voilà!
I remember that disk, it's only I haven't fully explored it yet. A good reason to do it now!
Yiddish! I wish I could read it or understand it, it would grant me access to nice stuff from less obscure times (from times obscure in another way should I say). Well, when I see it written (in latin characters) I can grasp many words and even a very general sense, no more. But relocating to Birobidzhan in order to learn it is not a feasible option.
Greetings
