![]() Walter Samuel Abridged analytical notes on the film music of Klaus Harmony. Hamburg, 1997 |
Nicht Stoppen, Nicht Stoppen, Nicht Stoppen, 1969 While establishing a footing for the distribution of Elektrische Lippen in 1969, Futafusion were keen to set their sights high in terms of casting. Consummate British actor, Anthony Booth, was singled out as a fitting leading man for the promising new Friedrich Wohlfäht, and Klaus Harmony worked briefly with Booth on the proposed theme song for the movie, Wonderful Kiss, Marvelous Eyes. The actor pulled out of the film, however, when it transpired that his fee was higher than the budget for the film itself. Nicht Stoppen, like its brass-dominated counterpart, Lips Electric, epitomizes the late 60’s zeitgeist, cool and detached, bearing early signs of Klaus Harmony's keyboard led ‘Ars funka’ which proved so seminal in the following decade. |
