Egon Würrenlos is a 22 years old weirdo from Switzerland. As he calls himself a very egoistic
person, his project name is EGO-N. The opener and title track of his third CD welcomes you with
a funny 'Hallo, hier bin ich' and then you hear a quite poppy song. But EGO-N is much more than
just a pop entertainer. He sees himself first as a human being, but he's also a musician who
combines elements of performance, comedy and provocation. So far, Egon got quite bad reviews in
the Swiss press because of his original combination of such different elements. I suppose it's hard
for different reviewers to listen to a record with very different song: 'Ich bin ein einem Lautsprecher
eingesperrt' is a kind of German Diskurs Pop, 'Ich habe mir soeben ne Kugel durch den Kopf geknallt'
is a 12 minutes long hypnotic electronic song. 'Isabelle' is a satire of sixties easy listening
music. The title track is replayed as a German HipHop version 'Hier bin ich' and in a strange version
sung under a shower (also available as a video track). Very strange is also the monumentalic 'Und
plötzlich hast du das Gefühl, sehr viel Alkohol trinken zu müssen' which contains
elements of 'Also sprach Zarathustra' and 'The Wall'. A cover version of Supertramp's 'Even In
The Quietest Moments' also underlines EGO-N's curious and strang humour. This CD isn't definitely
suited for people with weak nerves. As it surely will be hard to get in the shops, you can
write to the label if you are interested: BONG ENTERTAINMENT, c/o Clemens Baschong, H�slimattstr. 2, CH-4132 MUTTENZ (Switzerland) Fax: 0041 / 61 4622330 |
