  • Summary

  • 'To Have The Second Crack' marked the debut album of Hamburg's electrifying ensemble, ABORTIVE GASP. The captivating fusion of experimental sounds was composed by Harry Luehr, and the tracks were masterfully mixed a year later in 1989 at the 'Deutsches Elektronen Synchroton' (DESY) in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, with the soulful lyrics provided by singer Tim Paal. During this period and for their subsequent two albums, the band found an unlikely ally in the physicists at DESY, who generously offered a vast auditorium for rehearsals and recording. Surprisingly, this space was underutilized during the day by scientists, leaving room for creative exploration. Paal and Luehr consistently downplayed any suggestion that the minute physical particles, accelerated just meters below the band in endless tubes at near-light speeds, could have had a spiritual or electromagnetic influence on their music. But can anyone truly rule out such possibilities with absolute certainty? ABORTIVE GASP's recordings always exuded a vibrant live energy, shaped by their dub and improvisational style. As a result, the immediate environment played a profound role in the recordings, setting them apart from meticulously refined studio productions. Dive into the world of ABORTIVE GASP and explore how their unique blend of music was shaped by the intriguing interplay of science and sound. Tracklist: 1. Deep State 2. Goodbye Enemies! 3. Chemical Senses 4. Experimental Surviving 5. Open minded 6. Shake the Foundation 7. Intermixed Corruption 8. Church is empty
