Released: 1995 Gymnastic classX / Chrom Records CD INDIGO 9478-2 CHROM CRO 5882 Limited first edition in a lavish cardboard box.

A unique documentation of the completely sold-out 1995 "Acoustic" tour. Deine Lakaien, this time a classic duo - "unplugged", just "prepared piano" and vocals. Alexander Veljanov's unique voice and Ernst Horn's furious piano play are an impressive combination.

"Prepared piano" means that the piano is prepared in the manner of John Cage: glasses, metals, papers etc. are put onto the strings. And strings and corpus are treated with drum sticks. This creates weird percussion-sounds, when touched, and thus enrich the piano sound in many surprising ways. - A proof of the musical abilities of this outstanding band.

"Acoustic" was one of the few live albums, that made it into the German Media Control charts until then. All 15 song-recordings are in excellent digital live quality.

"Listening to these 15 pieces, you are enthrilled by Alexander Veljanov's sonorous, vibrating voice, and realize what furious pianist Ernst Horn is." (Abendzeitung München)

"Fascinating. I haven't seen an audience concentrated like this at a pop concert for a long time." (Stuttgarter Zeitung)
