It is the year wrote 1990th The wall was gone, imploded the Soviet bloc. And from the Seattle grunge wave swept over the world. One of the most remarkable, though unfortunately short-lived band projects that time, "Temple of the Dog" - and the CD is still worth hearing.
the grunge-trailers, it was the early 90s, sent as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by MTV in the endless loop , was quick to factionalism: some idolized Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. Was the other guy just too self-pitying, self-defeating, and confused it. Which were then rather Soundgarden or Pearl Jam - including myself. And if all too soft and too close to the metal, was moved to Alice in Chains or Stone Temple Pilots pure.
Robin Hood, set to music: "I do not mind stealing bread from the mouth of decadence ..."
for less than a year, precisely that year, 1990, in which everything possible and nothing seemed to have closed, with Soundgarden and Pearl Jam grunge two giants of the project, "Temple of the Dog "together with other actors in tert-reaching of the band Mother Love Bone, whose singer had just kicked the bucket only from an overdose of heroin. Because of the large egos, who were on board survived Temple of the Dog is not even a year and a whole concert - that's it. A short glowing, like a shooting star. A flicker in the history of music. The best moments are now not even meant for eternity.
A lasting result of the collaboration was short a CD of the same name, which appeared in 1991 ( and cede.ch be had for a paltry 16.90, in a case! ). Full of songs that were once energetically as "Pushing 'Forward Back "or" Your Saviour ", sometimes disturbingly beautiful and melancholy as" Hunger Strike "," Call me a Dog or "Times of Trouble." Thoughtful and sometimes difficult, as in almost visionary in 1990 to the globalized economy and the alleged venality of salvation (the busy collecting coal television preacher greet with a Hallelujah ...) directed song "Wooden Jesus".
short: A CD that in every well-stocked, is open towards rock library - and then still under the radar of many fans stayed. And a CD, which I like to listen from time to time new items. Not to remember to revel in those years. But because Chris Cornell's voice is combined with Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and the musicians and Mother Love Bone just great class, as well as the texts.
