I think no need to write too much about SHIT AND SHINE on this page ’cause everybody know it is an electro-noise-madhouse made by a Texan man. Its every album is a surprise because you never know what you get but you are never disappointed. This time that madhouse is a disciplined one, you can enjoy it on the new double album MANNHEIM HBF. To me it seemed as if would be a German travel diary so I have asked Craig

Was it born during a Shit & Shine tour in Germany?
– It was indeed but also I lived in that particular region of Germany as a teenager and I loved it there.
There are some hauptbahnhofs on the album. Why the Mannheim one was chosen as the title track?
– Because I kept ending up there to transfer trains while touring so it seemed fitting.

So I think „Mannheim Hbf” is analogue with Kraftwerk 4th album „Autobahn” which was inspired by driving on motorways. In this case the matter is the German railway, you can listen to its beats on this album where the second station is Kircheim. It is a town in Baden-Württenberg approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles) southeast of Stuttgart. It is located on the small river Lauter in the foothills of the central Swabian Alb:

Double album MANNHEIM HBF will be released on Texan label 12XU RECORDS on 28th of March.
