D as environment fits perfectly with Sven Regener: In the traditional “Café Einstein parent” in West Berlin’s Schöneberg district, the singer of Element Of Crime talks about the new Album ‘favorite colors and animals, “Bremer dialect and the charm of the word” low power signal transmission. “
Mr. Regener, we meet you today not as a novelist but as a singer by Element Of Crime. And at such interviews always sits a bandmate at the table.
Sure, because the absolute is not a solo project here. I may even sing in this band. And it makes us all just still a lot of fun. All these years that went by so as in flight. I wonder itself that there is no fatigue. Maybe because we have once inserted breaks, not even made something. Question: The secret of success: From time to time, distance
The secret of success?? From time to time, distance
This helps of course. We have now written the song number 132-141 for this record. As you consider in advance what you still want to add. One would like to also do not make a fool of himself.
And how do you motivate yourself again and again for the band?
You have to for yourself Find interesting to see what you are doing. We can not give off nine months of our lives to a plate which itself does not help us. So much time I have not. If we make every five years a record – ten there will be no more. This is scarce.
What is new about “favorite colors and animals,” their 13th studio album in almost 30 years?
The last record was a little folky, with the violin by Christian Komorowski. This time, with saxophone and all the winds, it was a bit jazzy. And so a certain hardness and cold remind me of our sound of the 80s. But actually everyone else can probably better judge than we what is different this time …
Go actually finished with ten songs into the studio, or so develops an album?
Whenever two songs were done, we went into the studio, here’s three days since times four days, then again a few days off. This time we were little overall in the studio. For “The beautiful roses” there were six weeks, which has almost killed me.
your band’s sound is so very typical, very unique. Are you happy with it to have virtually a unique feature in the German pop scene?
The Element Of Crime-thing, it’s also the slightly bumpy sound. Can not imitate the man – only at Element Of Crime also Element Of Crime is inside. Bands that are “constantly re-invent” – that’s all marketing bullshit. One can also find stupid, what we do – but who wants that kind of music, they just get only with us
Your vocals sound this time as North German as never before.. Lift your Bremen dialect now very apparent, so as before Rudi Carrell the Dutch?
Yes, this long A, which is a typical bremerisches thing, with so ‘nem croaking it. Since you have fun with it. It is also a matter of courage. Previously there was more afraid of appearing provincial. I’m actually not so on the North German folklore – but sometimes it
contains the title song words I’ve never heard in a song: “Low power signal transmission” or “Excel and Word documents.” Were you aware apart from the stereotype that a Sven Regener of something determines has a clue?
So first it goes into the song so just the fact that there are days where you says: I now have no desire, let me all alone. This makes ever fun to sing about. And on the subject of Internet: I have my connection since 1997 – this is a very old hat for me
A song like “Save me from myself” sounds depressed – how much autobiography is contained in it
Oh, of course you can always find a lot of himself in his songs – just not always what it suggests other. After all, I look back on a 53-year life and know these situations. But in art we play well, we do not just report. We play with roles, with situations, with possibilities, with attitudes. Question: Finally, then still the question of the novelist Regener: What’s new
Last but then still the question of the novelist Regener: What’s new
I’m writing with Andreas Dorau together the book of his life, the most beautiful and funniest stories. It will be a blast. Come out next spring. Quasi one episode book, of course, with the story of “Fred vom Jupiter”. Andreas always running around me, and I have the Touch then. Really fun

Almost even better known was the long living in Berlin native of Bremen as an author of partly for movies filmed scene novels (“Herr Lehmann”, “New Vahr South”, “little brother”, “Magical Mystery or the return of Karl Schmidt” ).
