With their unpredictable live performances and songs such as 'Zuruck zum Beton' and 'Industriemadchen', S.Y.P.H. caused a ruckus at the end of the 70s - as one of the bands that began to write lyrics in German around Dusseldorf's Ratinger Hof. Right from the start, the band broke with genre-conformist expectations and borrowed from rock, punk and kraut just as much as from Dadaism and the reality of everyday life. After the first album and several singles (re-issued on Tapete Records in December 2024), the band produced two more albums - Pst and S.Y.P.H. (album 4) - together with CAN's Holger Czukay. Tapete Records is now releasing both albums and a collection of previously unreleased rarities - Punkraut 1978-1981. "Peter Braatz (Harry Rag), Jojo Wolter, Ulli Putsch and myself in 1980 in Can's so-called Innerspace Studio in Weilerswist: what a happening! I probably still don't have the words to describe how I felt. Were we excited? Of course we were - and then some. It was a non-stop flight to the centre of the universe, to the Holy of Holies, way beyond our musical imagination. After all, except for the first LP "Monster Movie", this is where all the wonderful masterpieces of the very best international German band that we all love so dearly were created. Pure magic was at work here. Future Days had already been a promise for me when I was still a student - and now the four of us were right at the centre of our musical dreams. We could suddenly play whatever we wanted. Okay, on the first day we were all still pretty tense. But Holger Czukay kept encouraging us and quickly managed to loosen us all up a little. And then the thing took off. [...] So there was always an urgent desire within us to create intuitive music without making agreements up front, where everyone was listening to their inner self and at the same time to their fellow musicians - that's what the "Pst", i.e. "Shh" is about! -, creating music together in the moment. A free, direct way of composing. The spatial atmosphere of the Innerspace Studio contributed significantly to us being able to realise this wish. The studio as a living musical universe. A large, truly infinite space without barriers, where all four of us were in our element". (Uwe Jahnke, S.Y.P.H.)
