A-T-4 025 Phantom Band - Nervous Breakdown

Nervous Breakdown is from the Phantom Band's third and final album Nowhere. The band was formed by Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit and bass player Rosko Gee. Gee left the Phantom Band after the release of their first album to focus on Zahara with the late Rebop Kwaku Baah. Other musicians in the band came from Dunkelziffer who I have written about here

Dunkelziffer release their second album In The Night in 1984 with Can's Damo Suzuki on vocals. In The Night is sadly a little weak compared to their debut Colours And Soul

On the other hand the Phantom Band's Nowhere album is great albeit a little cynical. It's recorded by Can's Holger Czukay

Phantom Band "Nowhere" 1984 Germany Electronic Kraut Rock solo project from Jaki Liebezeit (CAN) with Helmut Zerlett

https://vk.com/wall312142499_8866 Founder of the legendary krautrock band Can, a very influential, hard-working musician whose drums have a lot of famous names on the albums - Brian Eno , Michael Rother , Holger Czukay , Jah Wobble , David Sylvian , Eurythmics , Depeche Mode , Damo Suzuki and others. One less known project under which Jaki was signed was founded in 1980 with the name Phantom Band. They played a blend of krautrocku, jazz, funky, oak style. By 1984 they made three albums. Nominated in 1980, bassist Rosko Gee (member Can and later Traffic), Freedom of Speech (1981) and last and definitely the best Nowhere (1984) helped with the realization . A very important figure on all albums is guitarist Dominik Von Senger, a new wave member of the experimental band Dunkelziffer. This is personally connected to Phantom Band . Try their first three albums, " Colors And Soul" (1983), " In The Night" (1984-singingDamo Suzuki ) and "III" (1986-singing Damo Suzuki again ). Then do not forget the two solos of Dominic Von Senger's "The First" (1983) and "The Second" (1995-dedicated to Dian Fossey's memorial that protected gorillas in the fog). The entire discography of Phantom Banda is on CD....by Kali..~ In the late 90s, this little promo compilation used to come free with some Can CDs - I'm sure I had three copies at one point. As well as being a decent Can overview, the disc closed with one track from each of the four core members' 80s work, and one in particular really made me sit up and listen, and buy this album shortly afterwards. That track, a stew of clicking percussion, ominous electronics and mournful spoken vocals, was Weird Love. Jaki Liebezeit's Phantom Band released three albums between 1980 and 1984, of which Nowhere was the third, and was reissued by Can's Spoon records in 1997. The others, which I don't have yet, are now available as Bureau B remasters - must get Freedom Of Speech soon, as apparently it's in a very similar vein to this one. Nowhere, then, (or Now Here according to Liebezeit), is a fantastically odd glimpse into what a stripped-down, updated Can might've sounded like in '84. Thirteen short-ish tracks of murky, echo-laden dub krautrock based around post-NDW guitars and synths, with an distinctive, off-kilter vocalist. In this case, stepping up to the mic was Sheldon Ancel, a former US Armed Forces Network announcer. After an intial groove into outer space, Ancel brings the album's themes sharply down to earth, with post-industrial workaday drudgery like Planned Obsolescence and Morning Alarm. On the reggae parody Positive Day we get a pisstake of a self-help guru straight out of the 70s/80s self-realization New Age. Highly recommended; for my money Nowhere is by far the most fascinating post-Can artifact, Holger Czukay's pioneering body of work notwithstanding.....~ Credits Composed By, Arranged By, Words By – Phantom Band Drums – Jaki Liebezeit Engineer [Processing] – Holger Czukay, René Tinner Guitar – Dominik von Senger* Keyboards – Helmut Zerlett Lacquer Cut By – J.C.* Voice – Sheldon Ancel Tracklist A1 Loading Zone 3:50 A2 Planned Obsolescence 1:05 A3 Mindprobe 2:16 A4 Morning Alarm 1:58 A5 Weird Love 2:44 A6 Neon Man 3:52 A7 Positive Day 2:57 B1 Nervous Breakdown 4:56 B2 The Party 1:32 B3 George The Spacemonster 2:28 B4 This Is The Rule 2:28 B5 Cricket Talk 3:38 B6 Nowhere 3:06
