Heartland

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls,

Von gave an interview to Warsaw daily "Zycie Warszawy" ("The Life of Warsaw") before the Warsaw concert this Monday (30 March). For the tiny minority of you who might not know Polish yet, the rough translation of the first question (obvious and of the boring kind) and Von's answer (not-so-boring whatsover):

Q: Why have we been waiting for so long for a new album ?
AE: It will come out soon. The songs have been already recorded. I am trying to put finishing touches on them right know. I`d like this album to be a kind of retrospective in a sense that it will show changes that have taken place in the group for nearly 20 years. And it will prove that I have not rested on my laurels and have not been lazing around, which is imputed to me by the media from time to time.

Go figure.

Ah, thank you for that much-better-than-google translation.

I got the gist of it, but I'd always rather read his words without the two-generations-removed syntactical weirdness and such...

wow

I almost get a feeling he is NOT joking - sounds more like someone who is a) sick and tired of being accused of being lazy
b) therefore intending to prove them wrong

There are some signs of a more self-confident band as well, so that might give AE the right push to get off his arse.

But well, as already said by others, the main problem is the definition of the word "soon"

It's probably the wrong reason to make an album to prove someone wrong about being lazy.

I'm not holding my breath either. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
