Forgotten Treasure: Becker/Stegman/Zeumer “Ich Traume So Leise Von Dir” (1987)

via Juno: Once again, Music From Memory has dug deep for inspiration.

Very few will have come across the original 1987 pressing of Ich Traume So Leise, a long-forgotten collaborative album that brought together trumpet player Heinz Becker, songwriter Karl-Heinz Stegmann, and poet Isabel Zeumer.

Predictably, though, the tracks which the Dutch label has chosen to reissue are exceptionally good. “Mein Tanzlied”, for example, features Becker’s meandering trumpet lines and Zeumer’s eyebrow-raising spoken word vocals seemingly drifting over an intoxicatingly funky, mid-80s dancefloor groove, while “Dir” is a seriously atmospheric chunk of beatless jazz poetry. Flip for the Balearic electro-funk of “Der Schnupfen” and the languid, new age ambience of “Abends”.
