GUIDO MÖBIUS - Dishoek
LP/CD Dekorder 013

Guido Möbius is a man on the go. Out of his 
Berlin officerecordingstudio he operates the 
Autopilot music publishing house and promotes 
record labels such as Sonig, Smalltown Supersound 
and Klangbad. Additionally he runs the small 
emphase label releasing among other things a 7" 
series of 1-instrument music and the last album 
by Anne Laplantine. And first and foremost he is 
a musician, now concentrating on his solo work 
and live appearances with bass player Alexej 
Gottschau after playing in various band 
formations.

Two years ago his solo debut "klisten" had the 
press and music lovers everywhere turn 
somersaults when hearing this wonderfully 
whimsical smorgasbord of countless tiny sounds 
and instruments. All material on "klisten" had 
been strangely interwoven, laminated and set 
against each other yet always remaining songs, 
almost Pop. And despite all the complexity and 
craftiness it never sounded difficult, academic 
or pompous. One could dive into this music or 
simply move within it and discover a new plant 
behind each corner. But one would never be led 
astray by it. And if you walked the same path a 
few days later suddenly new buds had grown and 
someone might have carved a few weird symbols 
into the trees.

And just before we started to miss Guido Möbius 
he surprises us with "Dishoek", his second album, 
recorded for Hamburg's Dekorder label. Again 
featuring a conglomeration of acoustic and 
electrical instruments (guitar, bass, violin, 
cornet drums, synthesizer, clarinet among other 
things.) and a variety of guests, so that one 
hardly dares to call it a solo album. Still 
everything is magically held together by one 
single person. Melodies and noises, styles and 
individual characteristics, intelligence and 
humour collide and become friends for live. We 
hear Krautrock minus Rock, Folk minus tronics, 
Pop minus popular; Psychedelia meets 
Improvisation meets Electronica without the 
slightest know-it-all approach. Styles get 
intermingled, copulate and finally dissolve 
completely to become only music without the need 
to be labelled because it is functioning 
completely within its own context and never fails 
to astonish. The computer remains a tool, never 
an end in itself and the alleged separation of 
acoustic and electronic music becomes completely 
obsolete. With its wily down-to-earth approach 
"Dishoek" proves that an eagerness to experiment 
and the will to explore unknown territories do 
not have to sound arduous yet always have the 
ability to gently surprise any adventurous 
listener.
