They used to say that all you need are three chords and the truth, but which three chords and in what order does truth come? Yet there’s more than one way to skin a cat and more than enough cats in this skinny old town with an eye for outsourcing and an ear for the future. ACO – savvier than Colonel Tom P. the day he clapped eyes on The King and faster than a white night with Grandmaster Flash – saw the future coming head on, so sent up smoke signals and a 12-strong cavalry of artists rode into view, each bearing a furnace-hot song or switched-on suggestion for ACO to reboot as their pop-minted hearts saw fit. They turned electricity to rock for John Miller and Takuji Kogo’s libretto of Japanese personals and painted Gerwald Rockenschaub’s ‘Black’ a shade deeper than deep space. Annika Ström’s in love again and taught ACO her serenade in person (check out Sabine’s cut crystal vox and Andreas’ Gainsbourg basso profondo). Ross Sinclair’s ‘Song for Raimar’ checked into Berlin HQ as a 4/4 pop hit and checked out as a waltz in downtown Vienna (imagine The Raincoats dukin’ it out with Kurt Weill and you’ll catch the flow of this blues Danube). Raimar got lucky again with another song for him from Dave Allen: retune your axe to DAF to karaoke this one. Like the Six Million Dollar Man, ACO were rebuilt by Carsten Nicolai into the romper-stomper motorik soundtrack to Agnes’s life a la Czech nouvelle vague. Karin Sander rocketed the ACO from the bottom to the top – a high-fidelity peak out. ‘Little Miss Risk’ is Andreas Schlaegel’s homage to Vancouver’s finest burlesque artiste (guiding spirits: AC/DC). Christian Jankowski talked the Critics into talking about passing time: Raimar chats ears and Agnes demands beers. Øystein Aasan? Don’t ask me – listen up! Markus Schinwald gave two trax and got one electro-convulsive rock Frankenstein in return, and in Elke Krystufek’s tapestry of refried pop nuggets, ACO long to lie in Larry Gagosian’s lap, and shout loud and proud: ‘make it legal Tino Seghal’!

So baton down the hatches and flip the switches. Crank it up and shake it down. It’s cold and dark out there – the situation’s critical.
