UNITED ONE. RECORDS WATERCOLOURS IN THE RAIN

WATERCOLOURS IN THE RAIN - New Thing - CD GAM 007-2 The band started in 1993 as a kind of Art Project. Saxophonist and Singer Joerg Krueger, who started up with opening Art Exhibitions in which he played solo Saxophone, at a later stage it developed to a Guitar and Saxophon duo. The Guiterist Olaf pinnow with his vast sound and the lyrical spacey Saxophon lines quickly got the Berlin Art scene to really take notice. Through this came invitations for the Duo from well known Artists such as Ernst Fuchs, Otmar Alt, Gustavo, Gottfried Helnwein and Udo Lindenburg to perform in their Exhibitions. It was in 1996 at an Art exhibition of the painter Ernst Fuchs was were they met the percussionist Singer -Composer Ayo Nelson-Homiah who was interested in what duo was doing. After a small conversation one felt that the musicians were in search of new music. Up tempo African rhythms flowing saxophone cords as well as experimental and satte guitar gave the music itīs own language. The individuality and expressions as well as the easy flowing compositions were always present in the songs from the Band, the best way to discribe the style is Jungle Space Crossover. In 1998 the band extended itīs formation with the bass player Matthias Reiche and the Drummer Christoph Wegener. The band also won a few music-competitons and now perform regularly live gigs in some of the best clubs in the City. Additional, the band supported big names like Jocelyn B. Smith, Heroes Del Silencio, and the Dissidenten. During the 1998 "Bridges To Babylon"-tour of the Rolling Stones, a demo-CD was given to Mick Jagger, who heard the CD, and according journalist was very impressed. This is the fisrt album from Watercolours in which it takes care of atmosphere, breakbeats, ballads, and nice African percussion with instruments such as the powerful Djembe.
