Deine Lakaien - Dual + (Hardcover Artbook) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

DEINE LAKAIEN are a German cultural icon. With their 10th studio full-length, InchDualInch, classically-educated composer and pianist Ernst Horn and vocalist extraordinaire Alexander Veljanov present a conceptual double album, which connects both full-lengths by a double reference. Half of the double album consists of 10 new songs that DEINE LAKAIEN have crafted with particular artists or songs in mind that have been important for the duo's musical evolution. These sources of inspiration are made clear on the second album of InchDualInch, which features 10 amazing cover tracks that range from Cat Stevens' classic 'Lady D'Arbanville' via Jacques Brels melancholic 'La chanson des vieux amants' to Kate Bush's 'Suspended in Gaffa' and the surprising choice of the Linkin Park song 'My December'. Each of these renditions has been lovingly translated into the Germans' unmistakable soundscape. In this artistic juxtaposition of a cover version and related new song, the Patti Smith/Bruce Springsteen collaboration 'Because the Night' corresponds with the Horn/Veljanov composition 'Because of Because'.

The album is available as a black and a strictly limited silver double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, as well as a double CD in a digisleeve. The theme of the album has lost none of it's topicality. InchForest Enter ExitInch is about dreams and reality. Dream and reality are images that arise in the mind and are shaped by the character of the individual.
