For 2006, Das Ich will release a brilliantly thematic epic. The remarkable dark Cabaret delivers naughty sound escapades in multiple cynical interpretations of a basic theme centered around the costumes for marionette theatre. For the album, Kramm’s usual electronic chamber orchestra was accompanied by a large variety of vital sounding acoustic collages. This deviates from the usual electronic blend of Das Ich by producing songs which allude to a twilight somewhere between claustrophobic reality and unchained phantasmic atmospheres. Ackermann’s vocals range between incantations and distorted madness to draw the listener through their visit to the nightmarish theatre, giving them a joyride through their darkest emotions. Point blank Das Ich pose the questions “What is imagination and what’s destiny? Where does reality end and where does madness begin?”
