What?! This was produced in 2008? But it sounds like original Seventies music! Well, yes true the instrumental recordings of the orchestra and band are indeed from the Seventies. The Mufuti Twins found some tapes in a pile of bulky waste (sperrmuell) on the pavement. And thats where the quite unusual story of this CD production begins. Christopher Kochs and Markus Mehr, the Mufuti Twins, salvaged these mysterious tapes and started rearranging the recordings in their studio. Christopher Kochs wrote some lyrics and sang them in a perfect crooner and entertainers voice and the Mufutis together added percussion, guitar, backing vocals and harmonica all newly edited and remastered. During the almost archeological and detective process of establishing the legal rights of their treasure, the Mufutis got in contact with two indisputable heroes of Seventies movie soundtracks well-known to many Germans Peter Thomas (Space Patrol, Edgar Wallace) and Gerhard Heinz (Schoolgirl Report). Both were thrilled by the Mufutis project and provided them with some of their own compositions to be reused and treated in genuine Mufuti style as Peter Thomas puts it. The secret of the Mufuti Twins working method lies in the stylistically confident choice of the music titles and also, undoubtedly, in the fact that the Seventies sound of the original tapes with their contemporary composition style was left untouched and therefore safe from stylistic adulteration. The existing material was carefully handled, developing it from instrumental soundtrack to nonchalant entertainer-songs.
