Raimund Burke - Get It
2005

a cura di: Franco Mannarini

Are you completly satisfied about your last work?
I am never completely satisfied with my work! ;-) I mean I love the songs and the playing and all that but there are always a few things that you can do a little better. That’s a piece of the motivation to do it better and better. I’m now workin‘ on my next CD. And for example the drumsounds that I use today are very much better than on „Get it“. On „Get it“ I used samples from a complete drum of my buddie Peter Breitenbach from Warhead. Great sounding drum but not enough different layers. In some sections it sounds a little drummachine-like. That is one of the points. But anyway – there are some really nice songs on that album with a really cool energy I think.

Wich are the most important ispiration for doing this new album?
It’s my first album. I wanted to do everything on my own. And I wanted to see if that works. ;-) From the first note of creating the song to play every instrument and do the programming.

Is There some others artists that you think important to reccomend us?
I’d like to recommend Warhead from Germany to you. Very powerful unique metalband. Great drummer! Check them out.

Are there some others projects for the your future?
First of all my next CD wich might be named: „Take a chance“. Another project that i’ve just played the sologuitars for is a turkish powerrockalbum called „Safkan“. Very talented songwriter and singer. That was a lot of fun to do.

Is there something in your album that you don't like enough?
Oh well, a few things as I said above. But when I think about the album I think it’s ok. It’s a good one. The next CD will be a little harder. It’s a kind of an advancement ;-)I have learned a lot more about recording and mixing and stuff like that. And that you can (I hope so) hear on the next album. ;-)))
