Zeus - Classic Zeus - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

About the songs 'Peace March' was originally called 'Ode To The Doo Dah Day' and was intended to be a children's tune. This interpretation however places it in Zappa territory. 'Wake Up Call' is me railing against the apathy we all share in the drone of life. Guilty, but getting better. 'GodSexMoney' was inspired by a class I attended. The teacher suggested that almost all good, bad and evil things that have happened in mankind's history have been inspired by either God, S*x or money or a combination thereof. Sounds right to me! Wrote a song about it, goes like this... 'Construction' was written back in the 80's with my friends Brad Swanson and Greg 'Harpo' Hilfman. It just seemed to us there might be a better way to build this world. 'Personal Revolution' begs the question 'What would the world be like if we all tried our best to be good to ourselves and to each other. Close your eyes and imagine... 'Dyin For Love' ...Aren't we all? 'Rose Colored Glasses' My good friend, Sheryl has inspired me with her innocent and optimistic view of life. She always says she sees the world through rose colored glasses. Mine are green, bummer. 'Big Brother' Self explanatory! 'True North' is about crossing the oceans (or doing whatever it takes) to find love. 'Will The World Mourn?' I'm very sad to say I don't think the world will miss us when we are gone. UNLESS...we get our act together...to be continued... 'Paradise Lost' confirms you don't mess with Mother Nature! 'Peace, Love, Truth And Understanding' ...the search goes on.

For more than two years, Zeus B. Held has been the keyboardist for the German kraut rock institution Guru Guru. However, his long-standing international career as a musician, producer, songwriter and arranger began in 1972 with his kraut rock colleagues from Birth Control. Six years and six BC albums later, after the of his solo album InchZeus' AmusementInch, he parted ways with the band. - He explored new and interesting possibilities for himself with the use of a vocoder, especially in vocal phrasing. Together with drummer Manni von Bohr (Bröselmaschine), bassist Horst Stachelhaus (Birth Control, Message) and Helmut Fichtner from the Düsseldorf band Message as another keyboarder, he also brought the concept of InchZeus' AmusementInch to the stage. - The album itself was released in 1978 on Brain; the cover design by Berlin underground artist Gil Funccius caused a sensation and sold very well, but unfortunately it was somewhat forgotten over time. This was also due to the fact that Zeus concentrated more on writing, producing and arranging and provided the right sound for artists like Nina Hagen, Dead Or Alive, Men Without Hats and especially Gina X Performance. - After almost 47 years, InchZeus' AmusementInch is now available on CD and digitally for the first time. As a bonus, there are four new arrangements and remixes by Zeus.
