How to: It’s a sunny late September afternoon, by the Road to Munich Central Station push yourself reeling hosts of Oktoberfest visitors. But Sven Regener (53) and Jakob Ilja (55), since soon 30 years, voice and guitar of Element of Crime, sitting relaxed in the back corner of the small cafe cosmos, under an old metal spiral staircase. Over coffee and water, and no trace of the hustle and bustle. A fitting setting for a meeting with a most unusual pop bands from Germany: Outside it roars, and inside it has its own clock. Thus, Element of Crime have also played very slowly to the top of the album charts. On Friday Element of Crimes thirteenth album ‘favorite colors and animals “appears . The two predecessor brought the band a gold records.
“Only chance” was the beer festival, Regener says then when talking to the news agency on spot news. “If it was not a coincidence, we had also insisted in such a tent to play,” jokes the songwriter. Indeed, Element of Crime playing that night at the radio station of the Bavarian Radio. And three of us: drummer Richard Pappik was recently fallen behind the stage just over a flower pot and the tapes had torn in the right ankle. . So the band played with a man down, “undrummed” as Regener says

a – like Whatever short-term – Spare want to Element of Crime for injured band members namely not. Even if that was certainly possible for a successful band. “Oh, that would be treason!” Calls Regener and Ilja smiles. The guitarist tells how the band once had to do without because of illness on him – and also played at third. And that is, along the way, a nice insight into the band structure element of Crimes. Actually, it has Regener briefly explained previously, are “near and far” the key to being creative together in the long run can. Even if the pop music cliche says otherwise
“closeness and distance.” – An insight to the band structure
“You have to also see: the image as a band is influenced by the culture industry: Like the Beatles in the films, four people with the same hairstyles that share a brain, so one has seen it yet! “says the singer, and author (” Herr Lehmann “ ). “As with Enid Blyton, ‘four friends’, or something.” It all had something different. “We are four main players and four very different characters,” says Regener. “Together summer and so this is also a very naive idea of artists”, Ilya throws: “This is no marriage.”
“We have never been this close thing had at the beginning that we would have done the same and divided us an apartment – and therefore never had someone so in his individuality claim that he otherwise could not, but to go. Although is a bit boring, but as it is, “says Regener in his slightly flippant tone northern Germany. Moreover, Element of Crime is based primarily on a: voluntary. “This is, I think, this knowledge that they say ‘I’m never assume that I have to do here’. We always do it because it’s fun – and when things are not fun, we think the open, “says Regener.

This is also what I hear in the music, even after decades. This is actually really great: This is bigger than yourself, and actually applies to all the bands, I think. Whatever it was, we can play together and that’s the truth “to come together again and to have the song arise – that is”.. “
