in stylistic regards their compositions are never predictable. a touch of organic jazz here, a subtle hip-hop allusion there, accompanied by a moving club rhythm structure and delhias captivating voice, which sings, then talks, and whispers in the next moment. this is being reflected in their life shows, acknowledged with much applause on festivals like ?sonne, mond und sterne?, the ?fusion festival? or ?ars electronica?. when they sample themselves during their concerts, modify their sound in real time and vividly interpret their songs, delhia dances audaciously in extravagant, selfdesigned costumes in haughty reserve and effuses eccentric pop magic. twisted-pop which gets straight under your skin, without ever grooving streamlined. you can dance to it, lose yourself in it or step into new worlds. there is only one thing difficult to deal with after you enjoyed ?the devil?s hand? and that?s to release yourself from its overwhelming emotional impact.

huge remixes by morgan geist & justus keohncke

for a short period in 1981 and with brand-new equipment such as roland 808, sh 101, gr 500, we made some 8-track just for fun jam tapes. mainly just to experiment for our own pleasure. from those sessions, only white horse made it to a final treatment. the rest of the material was left behind, as our record company at the time found it too different. after white horse being a track indeed defining our sound, we thought it would be interesting to dig out left-overs to fulfill a documentation of that period - crucial for us at the time. we were still innocent newcomers, without actually knowing to be creating a new sound! recently, that left-over material was transferred from analogue to digital and, to stay as true as possible to original intentions, we only added vocals, bass and drumbeats ahead of a final mix. we hope that you will enjoy listening to it. good vibes from laid back copenhagen 2012.
