Magnetfisch about And Also The Trees and Roulette:
We had been playing in our first band for half a year when in 1994 Patrick brought a copy of 'the Klaxon' for Timothée to listen. He liked it at once, particularly 'The Flatlands'. For him, the music of And Also The Trees remains tightly associated with the seemingly endless romantic landscapes surrounding his mother's house and it's pear tree...
We have had the opportunity to see AATT live on several occasions in Switzerland since, which undoubtedly continued to inspire and encourage us in playing music and developing our sound.
Why Roulette?
We appreciate 'Angelfish ' very much, since the first AATT gig we saw was during the '96 tour. Patrick particularly likes the bass guitar in Roulette's instrumental refrain, and the dreamy, poetic lyrics were just ideal for Seline. Her voice during the chorus reminds me of Texas ('Summer Sun'), and she even added a trip hop-like singing. We all had a fast-paced, danceable version in mind when we began rehearsing for the Cover, and I played a speedy synthie bass inspired from the original. While electronic, our version of 'Roulette ' is not industrial: yet the pizzicato-strings in the intro & outro are a hint at the song 'did you miss me' by fellow Swiss band 'The Young Gods' and hence at AATT/YG project 'November '.
