     blurb:       JSX shown in the album hero (optional)

     tracks:      [ { n, t, run, hot?, links?, note?, image?, video? }, … ]
   }

   A track is just:
     n     track number
     t     title
     run   runtime, e.g. "4:18"
     hot   true to accent it (optional)
     links { spotify, apple, bandcamp, youtube, soundcloud } — any subset (optional)
     note  free text. A blank line starts a new paragraph. (optional)
     image image URL — shown under the note (optional)
     video YouTube URL — stored for reference, Watch button only shows if watch is set (optional)
     watch true  → Watch button on track row only
           "main" → Watch button on row + featured embed above the tracklist (optional)

   That's the whole annotation model: text, an image, a video. Nothing else.
   A track with any of note/image/watch gets a "notes" toggle on the album page. */

    outro: "Unlike Black Friday, this is once again me writing songs and putting them together based on how I felt over the previous year.\n\nThe extra-goodies for this album were four 360° panoramas shot by Klaus Friese: WGT Agra 2011, the bar from the Fistful Of Fuck You video, the recording studio from the Older Now video, and the hotel from the Inside Of Me video. They were displayed on individual webpages with links to the music videos embedded in clickable objects within the panorama.\n\nI wrote a little over 60 demo ideas and picked what I felt were the best ones. Of course from today's point of view I think I could do much better – but roughly a day after you finish an album and send it off to Spotify or the pressing plant, you already start to hear things you'd do differently. That's just the way it is.",

        note: "The opener and also the most popular song from this record – mostly known for the music video, which shows me in 90s arcade game style fighting other bands from the darkelectro scene as I try to make my way to the club.\n\nThe video was directed by Boris May (Klangstabil), who had connections to animators. A bunch of internet idiots thought there was real beef between me and all the bands in the video. What actually happened: I contacted every artist, sent them a preview, and said \"hey, I'm making a music video where I would like you to be in it – but of course you can't win, because it's a Faderhead video.\" 100% of the people I asked were excited to do it.\n\nThe song itself came out of a \"10 Song Game\" – a creative exercise where I have 12 hours to write 10 song ideas, one per hour, no exceptions. The original demo title was \"Frontrow Fightclub\" – and as you can hear, I was yelling \"Frontrow Fightclub\" instead of \"Fistful Of Fuck You\" in that first version." },

In the early 2010s Skrillex made the metallic bass wobble popular and I couldn't resist using it, because I knew it would piss off the haters – and I liked it when used sparingly.\n\nThe intro sample \"This sort of thing has cropped up before. And it has always been due to human error\" is from \"2001: A Space Odyssey\". I usually re-speak movie samples for copyright reasons, but I guess I forgot. Human error, right there.\n\nThe song is about being depressed and confused and watching time run by as you do nothing – while coming up with excuses WHY you are doing nothing.\n\nThe music video was shot at the late Florian Sikorski's Maratone studios and featured Marc Acardipane, Shawn Mierez, my then-girlfriend Michelle, and Klaus Friese who did the 360° panoramas." },

        note: "A typical 2012 Faderhead club track. I can honestly say nobody else sounded quite like this at the time – because of 4 things: 1) my nasal voice was very distinguishable; 2) I had storytelling lyrics; 3) the song structure was verse-chorus, not techno-buildup; 4) I wasn't afraid to use new sounds rarely heard in the scene.\n\nThis has very clear \"this is what happened\" lyrics about a night out as it was back then. The younger non-German crowds especially liked that. Most Germans didn't understand the English lyrics, and the older crowd didn't like them because they were \"too real\" and not \"poetic\" enough. Of course for them \"poetic\" meant overused words and children's rhymes like \"the darkness in me is all that I see, the clouds and the rain, I feel this pain\". I'm not even kidding.\n\nMy favorite line: \"The night was a blur of drinks, drugs and memory gaps. We got out the club with eyes like Google Maps.\"\n\nThe demo title was \"Cyber Tribe\", inspired by an old Stuck Mojo shirt I had worn constantly since 1996." },

        note: "The first ballad on this album – though it's pretty noisy and not super-slow, so I'm not sure it fully qualifies.\n\nThis is mainly about dealing with the fact that in 2011 it was very difficult to figure out who to trust, because most people I knew were goth-scene people and there was always an endless amount of he-said-she-said going on behind my back. Which made it very hard to be real with people.\n\nThe decade of crap that was dumped on me – along with going to therapy – ultimately made me much clearer on who I am and what I care about. So that's a win.\n\nLow-budget video, shot at Motel One Reeperbahn with my friend Kurak as the blonde girl and Shawn Mierez on camera.

        note: "Probably my 2nd most popular song from the album and definitely my personal favorite.\n\nIt's a completely real song about touring and missing your girlfriend. In 2011, I was dating a girl from Sweden who was also a model. One weekend Marco Visconti and I were sitting in a backstage room in Dublin with too much time until the show and only Guinness beer – which I don't like. So after an interview with a web magazine, I said \"man, you know what I would really like right now? A Swedish model – my girlfriend – and some cocaine.\"\n\nWe had a good laugh, but I always write down interesting lines when they come up. I made the song pretty much the next week after coming home.\n\nThe rest of the lyrics are three verses of normal touring stuff that everyone who has played shows internationally has experienced many times. We still play this at every non-festival Faderhead show and it always gets one of the best crowd reactions." },

Except for the chorus, I think the song is very interesting.\n\nLyrically it's \"hey, I am human too.\" I think that's pretty obvious." },

When you're the only person working on the music, you get no pushback from bandmates or a producer saying \"bro, this is not good enough.\"\n\nThe beat is a strange mix of a harsh electro lead synth and slide-y EDM bass that works okay but really dates the production to the early 2010s.\n\nLyrically this is about finding a home in places that are not normal or conventional – places where most people would say \"are you insane?\" That's why: \"in hell, insane, sick city rules today, when 1+1 is 3 I found a home for me.\"" },

        note: "Features guest vocals by my friend Daniel Myer (Haujobb, Covenant, many others).\n\nThematically the total opposite of \"Nothing For Nothing\": here I'm singing about my then-girlfriend who had just moved to Hamburg from London. Basically me saying \"hey, don't worry, everything will be good.\"\n\nDaniel sang the whole song and I edited the vocals as a back-and-forth. From today's point of view I wish I had let him sing the whole thing, but since I was emotionally invested in the lyrics, it felt wrong to have him sing what I wrote about my girlfriend. That's also why my vocals are the \"clean\" ones and he gets the \"radio\" voice with reverb." },

I always liked having guest singers to make the album more varied, and I liked working with my friends.\n\nThere are a number of YouTube comments from people who've heard this being played at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Hollywood – so apparently there is a Faderhead fan working there." },

I absolutely agree – though of course there were no large language models or publicly accessible AI when I wrote it in 2011.\n\nThis was me trying to write something that isn't the typical \"the machine is taking over the world\" lyrics everyone was writing. I also noticed that as social media got more popular, people seemed to have forgotten how to use their brains online.\n\nAll in all, the song is fine as it is, but from today's point of view it could be heavier and darker." },

First there's a stick sound – a ticking clock – to signify his endless time waiting. During the chorus, when the lyrics say \"I will let you break my heart\", I purposely chose synths that sound like someone screaming in pain (the note pitch goes up).\n\nThe song is called \"Ballad Of The Weak\" because my friend was always unable to be strong and move on, even though he knew there was only going to be disappointment waiting for him." },

  "black-friday": {
    outro: "\"Black Friday\" came out in 2010 and is a concept album that tells the story of a young woman and a Friday night gone wrong.\n\nOne of the things I always tried to do with Faderhead is deliver more than just a song or an album. For Black Friday there was always the plan to shoot a short movie showing the album story. From today's point of view, the movie comes across like a teenage soap opera – but the production quality was actually very high, especially considering we had a tiny budget of maybe 2000 Euros and none of us were professional filmmakers. Most of the work was done by my friend Oli Kühl and me. Brett Vanderburg helped write the script, and Marco Ribbe did most of the filming.\n\nMy first thought going through the album now: this is about 5–6 songs too long. The story reasons for certain filler tracks really don't matter much, because the story could have been compressed into fewer songs. But as I said – none of us were scriptwriters, and I had never made a concept album before. Today I would cut it by at least 30%.",

That's the noise in someone's head saying \"I have to get out of this dead-end job\" – but in the end they just show back up and work to the boss's beat." },

Most bands were either heavy with screamed vocals, or melodic with clean vocals. On Escape From The Machine I start with spoken mid-intensity vocals, then go to screaming, then to a melodic chorus. Not many scene bands did that.\n\nThe different vocal styles serve the story: spoken vocals = the repetitive grind; rising intensity and screaming = the \"fuck this job\" anger; melodic chorus = the release, the escape.\n\nSteve Naghavi from And One still lived in Hamburg back then and I asked him if he wanted to do guest vocals. He initially said yes, but the key didn't fit his voice. Unfortunately the album had to get done. Steve still played a guest-role as the champagne-drinking DJ in the Black Friday movie." },

The hot bath is the emotional turmoil; the cold razor is the \"leave me alone, I'm going out\" reaction of the boyfriend.\n\nThere is no suicide intention in this song. I absolutely knew the goth scene would enjoy the title though, and I accepted that people would read those undertones into it – even though you can't really infer any from the actual lyrics." },

Music-wise it's a heavy EBM track about changing your situation by burning everything to the ground – because then you can't go back. A lot of people connect to the idea of moving on from something, which is what makes the song title so popular.\n\nLyrically I also wanted to poke fun at the super trve oldschool EBM people who didn't like me because I wasn't \"oldschool enough\" and made too many pop songs.\n\nOld Meshuggah fans will instantly recognize that I stole the idea for the title from their album \"Destroy Erase Improve\" – and improved it for my own purposes." },

When you're young and new, you have to differentiate yourself from the established artists, otherwise you're just VNV 2.0 or Covenant 2.0. For the female perspective in the lyrical punchline I asked Shaolyn to do the vocals. Her song \"Face Down\" was getting popular in gothelectro clubs at the time, so it made sense as a promo collaboration." },

        note: "A lot of people really misunderstood the title because they didn't read the lyrics. Many think it's an anti-religious song – which is probably the most wrong interpretation possible.\n\nThe female vocal sample translates to \"If you have never fucked god on a dancefloor, then you've never truly danced\" – which is not an anti-god statement. It's about reaching a higher plane of existence through dancing. Nothing more.\n\nThe vocal isn't actually a sample from anywhere – like \"Coke For My Ass\", it was spoken specifically for this song by Madeleine Gillian.

If you're regularly late or unreliable, I'll say something once, and if it continues I'll cut ties immediately.\n\nWriting a song called \"Be On Time, You Lazy Person\" doesn't sound very cool, so I decided to frame it as cutting ties with people who waste my time by dropping the hammer of the gods on the relationship.\n\nThe beat is a Dancehall pattern that Shawn Mierez and I made.

How do you take care of a child if you can't even get your own life in order? I still have the same attitude today, and I think most people should probably not have children.\n\nProduction-wise, I was trying to do something like a Marilyn Manson ballad, encouraged by my friend Jeff \"Critter\" Newell, who had actually worked on Nine Inch Nails' \"Pretty Hate Machine\" and done a remix for Manson. I trusted his judgement and used the vocal technique where you sing the vocal twice slightly inconsistently, then pan both vocals center at similar levels – which gives the sound typical of Marilyn Manson." },

I also liked the detuned synth leads Steve from And One uses, so I put one in the chorus.\n\nWhen I listen now the production is very dated – there's the ReFx Vanguard synth all over it, probably the only synth used except the sub bass, which was always Novation V-Station back then. Everyone used the exact same synth at that time because it was new and cool.\n\nThis is probably my least favorite song on this album. I think it has the weakest hooks of all 14 songs." },

Verse 2 is about a guy in my group who would totally freak out if he couldn't score.\n\nI really like the chorus – it goes from a straight 4-to-the-floor kickdrum to a halftime chorus with \"ohhhh\" backing vocals. The \"ohhh\" is both a cool melody and a reminder of the melt-downs: everyone would always go \"ohhh, so-and-so is freaking out again\".

One of them (both considerably shorter than me) turned around and said mockingly \"Houston, we have a problem?\" – and when he said it a second time, he poked my chest with his finger.\n\nOne of the most effective ways to displace an opponent without breaking vital bones is to hit them straight on the sternum: it hurts a lot and moves them much more than you'd expect. So when he poked me, I hit him there. He flew backwards through the car and landed sideways across a seat, which hurt him considerably more than my strike. His friend ran off and left him there.\n\nI wish I could pretend I said \"Houston, we're landing in your fucking face\" right at that moment – but I only came up with that at home later. As usual.\n\nWe still play Houston live today, and I think the song holds up 20 years later – even though I can do much better heavy vocals in the chorus now." },

It's not.\n\nLike in The Protagonist on FH1 where I use Hollywood movie scenes to describe a breakup, here I use heroin addiction terminology to describe the end of a relationship – one that was constantly problematic but still had an addictive quality. Only when I had had enough from \"overdosing on a sigh\" one too many times do I ask \"where do drugs go to die\" – meaning: how do I get this person out of my system.\n\nThere are a lot of lyrical details in this song I still really like.

You can get that version on Bandcamp.\n\nAs most people know, 70% of the scene hated the song – which didn't matter, because every goth electro club in the world played it for years. We shot a video at the Zoe 3 bar in Hamburg over two days that looked like a commercial dance music video, which made the goth scene hate me even more.\n\nI can't tell you how many times some guy told me \"I really don't like Dirtygrrrls/Dirtybois, it's way too pop\" – only to run to the dancefloor when the song came on because all the girls went dancing immediately.\n\nIf you do things differently than everyone else, you will always get a lot of shit for it.

Verse 2 is about any prototypical mid-2000s goth girl trying to be mysterious and alluring.\n\nWhile this is mainly a diss track, I'm quite happy with some of the lyrics: a \"fucked up caterpillar\" is someone who can't go from larva to butterfly – staying in their little place and not evolving. And \"steroid-crazed bodybuilder, thin-skinned and vain\" has a double meaning – bodybuilders get literally paper-thin skin from steroids and diuretics, and they're also emotionally fragile.\n\nMy favorite thing: the chorus bassline is inspired by the Backstreet Boys' \"Everybody\", and the bell sound in the intro is inspired by Dr. Dre's \"Keep Their Heads Ringing\"." },

        note: "Probably my favorite track on this album, and it holds up completely today.\n\nThe origin: I was driving to the gym with Sadamune Myoonji (who did the Japanese vocals on Mattaku). He said \"stop at the gas station, I need some coke for my ass\" – meaning Coca-Cola. We made jokes about the phrase all through the workout and recorded the \"you snort coke up your ass?\" monologue at the studio later. People think it's a movie sample, but Sadamune is the one speaking it with a fake Southern accent.\n\nMy favorite lyric: \"I got that 20-cycle-pound in my kick of doom\". Audio engineers call frequencies \"cycles\" – so \"20 cycles\" means 20 hertz, which is a very low, bass-heavy kickdrum. That explains why the person in the previous line is shaking her ass and the whole club is bouncing.\n\nStylistically inspired by Justin Timberlake's \"Sexyback\", which Marc Acardipane had just played for me." },

In reality this is a song about all the many harsh electro bands who straight-up copied Suicide Commando in the mid-2000s.\n\nThat's why: 1) The line is purposely in the wrong order – the original Suicide Commando is \"Bind Torture Kill\" and I switched it to show that people are just copying. 2) \"Copy paste and done, yeah, yeah it's time to harvest\" refers to bands trying to cash in on Suicide Commando's popularity.\n\nThe female backing vocals in the chorus were Dr. T and probably Shao-Lyn too." },

        note: "The first song on the first album is really a breakup song. It doesn't sound like it – it's fast with hard kickdrums – but the lyrics use Hollywood movie metaphors to describe my emotional state after breaking up with my first long-term girlfriend.\n\nBack then nobody really paid attention to my lyrics, probably because they didn't expect a guy with a mohawk, a furry jacket and sunglasses to write anything worthwhile. So I'm going to go line by line.\n\n\"Every now and then the world is strange\" – About feeling disoriented. After years of a relationship, familiar structures are either gone or feel unreliable.\n\n\"Time to stop and re-evaluate\" – If you're familiar with Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey concept, you'll know that the protagonist first exists in his normal world, then his world is disrupted and he gets the call to adventure, which he denies. This line is about having to figure out what I want in life – while referencing Campbell's concept of the hero refusing the call.\n\n\"Broken heart won't equal broken dreams\" – About distinguishing between emotional damage and long-term identity or ambition. Before this song I had taken a purposeful 3–4 year break from music to learn something real that could pay my rent. I remember sitting in my one-bedroom apartment thinking: maybe I can use this state of feeling like shit to go back to writing songs.\n\n\"Mr. Bond, find the real me, please\" – James Bond is probably the most famous movie character of all time and a completely unrealistic performance. Here I'm asking an over-the-top fantasy character to find authenticity – a strong contradiction. I wrote it because: 1) I didn't know who the real me was, and 2) I was thinking it'd be so much easier if I had no feelings, like James Bond.\n\n\"Critics wonder where the feeling went\" – Writing external observations about myself, because I was surprised by how crappy I felt and how little I showed it.\n\n\"E-TV reports 'The Passion's Spent!!'\" – How media would frame private loss by reducing a complex emotion to a simple headline.\n\n\"One of the days that never seem to end\" – The double layer of a 15-hour day on a film set, or the situation everyone knows when you're not in a good state and the day just drags on.\n\n\"And where the fuck is my script again\" – About having forgotten my identity and not knowing my role, my next action, my next sentence.\n\nThen the chorus. \"I am the protagonist\" – Reassuring myself that I matter in my own life. A defense against feeling discarded or irrelevant. \"Disarmed the bomb\" – Crisis management; the breakup is framed as something I survived or neutralized. \"Fucked the femme fatale\" – In Hollywood this is a cliché of sexual success showing the hero as powerful. I didn't feel very powerful at the time, so maybe I wrote it as a reminder. Or it just sounded cool.\n\n\"The credits roll\" – The ending of the movie, and acceptance that this chapter is over. \"Discover who we are\" – Only now that the movie is over does identity change, and we have to figure out who we are. We only understand what it all meant when we look back.\n\n\"Roll the camera hit the winning smile\" – An emotional performance begins again. Public display overrides private collapse. \"Take 15 – it's gonna take a while\" – Healing is slower than expected. \"Smoke machines can make it hard to breathe\" – Faking something on the outside while finding it hard to exist internally.\n\nThis was the first ever Faderhead track to get played at a club. It also helped get me a record deal – so it was definitely an important one." },

Photos and images keep pulling the past back into the present. What hurts is not what happened, but how it keeps replaying in the head.\n\nI use a public transport image for movement – trains, train lines – but none of them actually lead anywhere. There are many imagined paths back to the other person, yet they all stop short.\n\nIn the end, \"forever\" turns out to be just one frozen moment that feels big, but cannot grow or continue.\n\nFor some reason a lot of people thought this was a song about cocaine because of the title – but I really don't see how you get that from actually reading the lyrics." },

I used it as a metaphor and wrote this song about something in me breaking things down from the inside.\n\nThe breakdown doesn't happen from a single blow or crisis – it's an ongoing process that never really stops. I get weaker and things start leaking that I used to keep contained. I can feel myself wearing down in small, steady steps.\n\nI'm stuck living with it and watching it happen at the same time. The O/H Scavenger is part of me, deep on a cellular level, quietly breaking things apart. I change in ways I barely recognize, and the damage doesn't stay private – anyone close enough gets pulled into it, not on purpose, but because being near someone who is slowly coming apart leaves a mark.\n\nMusically, this is probably my favorite song on the album.

        note: "The track most people name as their favorite on FH1. We still play it live today – even though in a more ballad-y halftime version.\n\nIn 2003 I almost died from bacterial meningitis, and my short-term memory was affected by the brain damage. This led to the situation where a girlfriend I dated years later accused me of regularly lying to her, because I simply couldn't remember things I had said or that she had said.\n\nThe relationship didn't last very long after that." },

        video: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHlWyh_KljM",
        note: "A futurepop love song about my then-girlfriend, who really liked futurepop – like pretty much every woman who was into goth electro back in the 2000s.\n\nThe lyrics are clear and easy to understand, so there's not much to explain. From today's perspective I would shorten the song by probably two minutes, because the intro is way too long – but that's how songs were back then." },

        note: "A party song about observing the rise of \"gothic models\" who would stage little photoshoots at parties with their photographer friends – \"the paparazzi no one knows\".\n\nIt's me being snarky and condescending, because at that time I didn't recognize that anyone has a need to be seen and create their persona in some way. I mean – I had a mohawk and wore sunglasses in dark clubs.\n\nEven though the beat is bouncy, the whole song has a sad vibe. I always got that feeling from those situations." },

        video: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-A-ZrTFEnI",
        note: "A commentary on the extremely annoying \"trve goths\" I met often when I started going to goth clubs. Because I didn't know most people, they would explain to me how all the new electro stuff was just garbage and a \"degeneration of the scene\".\n\nThey would also constantly complain about how the party had become just about vanity and being seen – while they were covered in tons of makeup and wearing elaborate outfits.\n\nI used the historical phrase \"Rome is burning\" – the end of the Roman Empire – and changed it to \"the walls are burning\", referring to the walls of the club. But people are still dancing, just like the mad emperor Nero was playing violin as Rome burned.\n\nI thought I was being super clever, because the Nero story was factually wrong – violins didn't exist at that time. Just like the statement \"the scene is dying\" was factually wrong, because I could see 800–1000 people showing up at the club on Saturdays." },
