The Word - The Word
The Word is one of the better-kept secrets of 1980s Austrian disco music. Yet once you put the needle on this record, you
notice that it sounds oddly familiar. The awe-inspiring signature piece “Lobster” has the same analogue, slow-moving
aesthetic as Zenit’s timeless “Waiting” that was featured on Edition Hawara’s first release.
The same goes for the three other wonderfully unconventional, proto-electronic songs: “Easy”, “All My Life” and the
eponymous “The Word”. And there are even more commonalities with Zenit’s LP: The vocals are Linda Sharrock’s, who
here teamed up with Karl “Charly” Ratzer and Peter Ponger, the twin brother of legendary Falco producer Robert Ponger.
The result of this collaboration is, well, also quite legendary. How this kind of sound emerged in Vienna in 1984 is still a bit
of a mystery, but clearly all the stars were aligned when Sharrock, Ratzer and Ponger were jamming in the studio. We are
very proud to share this secret with you.
Just as there are very few lobsters in landlocked Vienna, there are very few records like this out there.
