Lost album! Unrelesed recordings from 1981 for the very first time availalble.

'Lost Album ' is discovered!
After playing the keyboards in Doldinger 's Passport for several years ,
Hendrik Schaper decided in 1981 to make his own album. He rented the
Rüssl Studio in Hamburg and started the recording of ' One Or Zero' .
Of course, Schaper's musical roots from the Osnabrück bands
Tetragon and Trikolon played an equally significant role as the jazz-rock
experience with Passport, his impressions of the Talking Heads and
Devo also inspired and influenced this recording and became part of the
sound (in addition to classics like The Who , Hendrix and AC/DC ).

Bertram Engel, one of the most gifted drummers in Germany
then and now, played the drums to give this recording its unique and
funky groove. A stroke of luck landed Schaper with the Scottish singer
Eddie McGrogan , who also wrote all the lyrics for the album.
But above all, Hendrik Schaper is brilliant on the keyboards. Not only
did he play all the bass lines on the tracks, he rocked the synthesizers
with such psychedelic sound gimmicks that the sound is virtually
indistinguisable from the lead guitar. The listeners will hardly notice that
a lead guitarist is missing!
The songs are compact, grooving, incredibly virtuoso and simply
timeless!
Despite the genius and originality of this recording, it has never been
released since its creation in 1981, probably because of the fact that
the „Neue Deutsche Welle' (The German New Wave) back in the 1980's
was resisting English-language music. With much luck, a copy of this
recording landed at Sireena Records in the summer of 2013, who
enthusiasticlly worked with Hendrik Schaper to make the debut of
the 'Lost Album' a reality.
