Here are the official\nreworks of Hans Hass' proto-AOR \/ cloud rock hymn \"Welche Farbe hat der Wind\" (which translates\nto \"What color is the wind\").\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main producer for this release was Marian Tone (of Key Elements), who reworked the track\nalmost from scratch. He re-recorded the drums, the bassline, and some chords while keeping Hass's\noriginal vocal layer. The distinctive guitar playing by co-composer Gabor Kristof sparkles throughout.\nThe result is exactly what we had hoped and asked for: a DJ-friendly version of this überclassic track.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea for this rework project came to mind when label owner DJ Scientist got word from Tobias\nKirmayer of Tramp Records that \"Welche Farbe hat der Wind\" would be officially re-released for the\nfirst time on his compilation series \"Praise Poems\" as well as on a single reissue. Scientist\nimmediately asked if he could make an edit with louder drums to make the track more playable in a\nDJ set. However, as the masters of the Tramp reissues had already been submitted to the pressing\nplant, he was granted permission to re-license the track and rework it for his own label instead.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHence, the reworks feature Scientist’s \"vintage drums\" mix, which has the drums mixed louder, plus\ndrums added at the quite psychedelic and experimental last third, with a few other sound adjustments\nmade.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it was up to Berlin-based DJ and music producer Marian Tone to put the icing on the cake and\nrework and enhance the song further with his own version. With fellow Key Elements bandmember\nSteffen Kieslich, he completely re-recorded the drums. Then it was up to Doron Segal to replay the\nbass and the keys. What we get is the classic sound of \"Welche Farbe hat der Wind\" - just updated\nand fresher.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the first time ever, the track is also available as an instrumental version. Here, the great original\nguitar playing keeps the song going and going, and makes it perfectly clear that this tune, which\noriginally came out on the schlager album \"Reise in eine glückliche Zukunft\" in 1974, is pretty damn\nfunky!\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has been difficult to put \"Welche Farbe hat der Wind\" into a genre box, But it has been described as\n\"rare groove\",\"psychedelic schlager\", and even \"proto-AOR\". For facility, Scientist has coined the new\nterm \"cloud rock\" to describe this particular style of soft but groovy music. The name cloud rock bears\na conspicuous reference to the krautrock genre as well. More tracks in a similar vein will be heard\nsoon in a DJ mix under the same name.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarian Tone's rework, as well as the corresponding instrumental version, will be released on a limited\n7\" single with a full-color picture sleeve. The digital release will feature the DJ Scientist re-mix plus an\nalternative version that puts more focus on the re-recorded bassline. In any case, this is an essential\nitem for any music lover as well as the ideal contribution to your ultimate \"cloud rock\" DJ set!\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Outer Edge","offers":[{"title":"7\"","offer_id":50454173090123,"sku":"2003050","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/TAC-013_1cf59fa0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727181785","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/welche-farbe-hat-der-wind-marian-tone-rework","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
