20th anniversary re-press. Köhncke rides again with another 12", having two sides that couldn't be more different: the A-Side, "Timecode," is a clock-ticking electronic disco tease promising a joyous release by building up tremendous expectations over its course of eight minutes -- and of course not delivering the final dance floor orgasm since the night has to continue in mutual happiness and expectations on the floor. But well, surely lots of "pre-cum" spreaded. The flip, "The Answer Is Yes," displays Köhncke's love for The Beatles or Prefab Sprout and the like, in a masterly programmed digital simulation of the "played" sound of the likes (Köhncke cannot play any "real instruments" except for a bit of Barré-Punk-Guitar). It's a love metaphor about two photons in "entanglement," which is a proven psychedelic effect in quantum physics. The photons are "entangled" and "know" each other's "spin" in immediacy, thus not bent to the speed of light, even if they are 100000 light years from each other -- a theory that even Einstein considered absurd when the pioneers of quantum physics came up with this in the 1930s. So Justus put his fascination with quantum physics into a pop love song metaphor -- how much more do you want?
