You can take a listen to Robert's duet with Seja from her new "All Our Wires" record on a track called ‘Die Wolken’ (translated to the ‘The Clouds' apparently) at this website:

Seja's album is just out and she is doing a short tour in Australia. I really like this song!

That's a lovely song, apart from the damn moogy bit which really sets my teeth on edge...

Cheers Austin, a good find ! Liked the song a lot. Apart from the odd Nico track, I never really listen to sung German. So it makes a change...

Don't like the song at all. And Robert's voice is too much in the background. And the song is way too long. After 1:30 there happened anything interesting. Oooh, the cover reminds me to Keith Emerson of ELP fame. The lyrics are… the lyrics. Though I'm german speaking I haven't identified every word, but it's not necessary.

Fun. It basically sounds like an Aussie folkie number sung in German. By that I mean it could be an early Panics number sung in German by a woman and a guy. It doesn't do anything exceptional but it also doesn't make a false step musically and the synth sounds stay on the "ok" side of the line for me.
