"Ziguri [tsiguri]": In the Mexican Tarahumara language the word for Peyote cactus, containing the hallucinogenic alkaloid mescaline.
Günter Schickert
has built a reputation and following amongst friends of psychedelic music. He and
Manuel Göttsching
pioneered the use of the echo guitar. The solo albums
Samtvogel
(1974) and
Überfällig
(1979) have attained cult status. In 1987 Schickert founded
Ziguri Ego Zoo
with
Udo Erdenreich
and
Dieter Kölsch
-- friends from the Berlin theater 100 Fleck, a musical theater project which soon evolved into the band with the name
Ziguri
. Ziguri initially rehearsed in SO36, the legendary punk club in Berlin-Kreuzberg (subsequently finding themselves entangled in the street riots on Oranien Strasse which were a regular occurrence at the time). Their first gigs took place in squats, at street parties or underground clubs, before graduating to venues like Tacheles, Der Eimer and Schokoladen. Ziguri continued playing in this format until 1997, after which only the theater project remained, lasting until 2002. The three band members went their separate ways in the years that followed, signing up to new bands. Kölsch played with Schickert in
Ponyhof
and with
Erdenreich
in the punk combo
Hagel
. Both used the same rehearsal space, so the trio often found themselves gathering around in the original line-up. One evening, the famous words were spoken: "Let's put the band together again." That was in 2011. And from the first moment on, it was like they have never been apart. Picking up exactly where they have left off, Kölsch and Erdenreich hammered out a driving rhythm and Schickert layered his unique echo patterns over the top. They road-tested their live set at two concerts with
Damo Suzuki
(
Can
). As Ziguri played further shows, it dawned on them that younger listeners had bolstered up their audience, strengthening the band's decision to revive the act. Ziguri enlisted
Dirk Dresselhaus
as producer, better known as artist
Schneider TM
. The album was recorded in Schneider TM's Zone studio in just three days.
