Informant:
The Black Neon recorded Arts & Crafts on Solina String Ensembles, MiniKorg 700s, the RSF Kobol Expander, a Gleeman Pentaphonic & a SVC-350 Vocoder at the Audio Sonic Studiotechnik .
Though speaking not more then 17 words of the language, The Black Neons affinity and spiritual bond with Deutschland could not be stronger. On Arts & Crafts, semi autobiographical tales of love and de-conscription from the DDR army (Ralph & Barbara) and Man-Machine love affairs (TX81Z) blend seamlessly into The Black Neons sprawling instrumentals played in the traditional Motorik style.
Themes of love, loss and potent imagery of mastication, escaping to Mexico and silver sharks are all present. The Black Neon may or may not explore these themes further on future releases.
The Black Neon played his last show at the Motaryno Arts Fesitval in Poland at the end of 2001. He no longer plays live.
