Macsat - Turn It Up CD
SKU: AB060cd
Description:
MACSAT was officially founded in 2015. After only five rehearsals
the group played their first show at a small festival in
Northern Germany. Since then, they have played many club shows
and festivals. MACSAT have shared many stages and backstage drinks
with well known bands. The musical spectrum of MACSAT is very
large because of the unique talents of each member. It ranges from
reggae to ska, to rock and punk. The mixture of German and
English language lyrics has also established itself as a trademark
of the band and enables them to easily perform abroad. All
five musicians have plenty of stage experience in previous bands,
which is immediately evident in their energetic live shows. Among
their musical inspiration is Sublime, Rancid, Jaya The Cat,
The Clash or The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
'Turn It Up' is the third album by the Münster-based band
MACSAT and, as usual, they effortlessly combine different musical
styles between reggae and punk, between offbeat and „hit it
up“, between English and German, between summer sounds and serious
social criticism. This time MACSAT was joined by none other
than the legendary Lee „Scratch“ Perry, who as a musician and
producer is rightly considered one of the most influential
personalities of reggae, ska and dubs. For the song „Palmanova
Calling“ he recorded his spontaneously improvised parts in Jamaica
just a few weeks before his death. More international artists
includeVic Ruggiero (The Slackers), Sam King (Get Dead /
Codefandants), Geoff Lagadec (Jaya The Cat), Karl Smith (The Bar
Stool Preachers), Brenna Red (The Last Gang) and Steve Jackson
(The Pietasters). Further the German artists Gunnar Schröder
(Dritte Wahl), Michael „Elf“ Mayer (Slime), Andreas „Jackal“ Frank
(The Crimson Ghosts) and Toeppel Butera take part on the
album. And at least Guido Knollmann (Donots): he is not only the
guest singer on the song „Halb so wild“, he also plays his guitar
on six other songs.
The album features 16 songs. On CD, cassette and also digitally
there are two additional bonus tracks with a cover version of the
Neil Young classic 'Rockin‘ in the Free World' and a dub
version of the MACSAT song 'Thru the Day' from 2017.
'Turn It Up' was again recorded, mixed and mastered at the
Luna Recording Studio in Lüdinghausen, Westphalia. The great
equipment and extensive know-how of sound engineer Dieter Steffan
was great as always and a very important condition to create
another exciting album.
Genius artwork (as usual) by singer Claas, who also works as a
freelance media designer and photographer. He also runs the record
label Ring Of Fire Records, which also publishes the music of
MACSAT. With 'Turn It Up' four other co-labels from abroad are
involved in the release: Aggrobeat Records (Netherlands), Bad Look
Records (Poland), Pasidaryk Pats Records (Lithuania) and Lucha
Libre Discos (Ecuador). The album is available as a chic vinyl
in a gatefold cover with inside-out printing, a printed 300g inner
sleeve and crystal-clear 180g vinyl. The CD version impresses with
a 6-page digipack (also with inside-out printing) and a
16-page booklet on uncoated offset paper. And for the boomboxes of
this world there is again a small edition of 150 pieces as
music cassette.
