KIEV STINGL

Singer-songwriter Kiev Stingl's discography totals three records, on Philips, Metronome, and Teldec. More than any other German pop artist, Kiev Stingl embodies massive deviance.
In 1982, he was arrested by the secret police of Madagascar; accused of assisting the CIA in a coup attempt, he was imprisoned in Antananarivo (Ambohibao) and narrowly escaped a death sentence. On his release he entered Teldec Studios in Hamburg for the last time. When his desolate condition prompted Tel..o terminate the sessions in midstream, it marked the end of one of history's most promising and abysmal careers.
The pieces on Hamburger Teldec Studios 1982 are based on those sessions' fragmentary vocal tracks.

"Längst haben die jüngsten Musiker das Wüste und Rabiate kapiert und kopiert; aber sie zelebrieren nicht wirklich DAS FRÜHERE, sie beschmieren sich nur mit neuem Schlamm und kippen in Ohnmächte, die ihnen das Publikum der überbevölkerten Hallen als MACHT für 1, 2 Stunden auf die Bühne schmeisst."
KIEV STINGL, 1982
"Ich glaube, das Leben wird immer dann interessant, wenn es den Zustand der Drogenabhängigkeit erreicht, d.h. wenn man rauschhafte Zustände, die man auch entzückende Zustände nennen kann, als Ziel seines Handelns mitbedenkt."
