COURIER. Your friend Hansi Lang died Sunday How are you
Thomas Rabideau.? It's terrible I am now a second time after Falco condemned to a posthumous. Album public. Thanks be to God not only, but with my friend Wolfgang Schlögl. The second "Slow Club" album has just been completed. Thursday is Hansi came at four in the afternoon to clock me in the studio, and we have the finished CD by one. This was only my numbers, we had developed in sessions with the Wolfgang. It was such a beautiful day, the most beautiful I have ever had with him in the studio. And then he left in our hands.
you at the studio?
He was very happy compromised Studio Bankerl and listened with closed eyes. We have heard a ballad that has such a farewell text - macabre, but it is so. Then I turned around and asked what we listen to next? He told me the title, "Roller Coaster". This was very indistinct, but we have not noticed. Hansi has not sung along as if half asleep. That was the last thing I heard from him. Eventually, Wolfgang said: "I think he's asleep." Then we looked at it and realized that what is wrong, and called an ambulance. I am so happy that his music was the last what he has heard that it was a beautiful day like this, and he was so pleased with it.
How important was Hansi Lang at the scene?
He is considered crucial for the new wave scene. But that was far chance, when he came out of the soul and jazz-rock corner. He then pulls out only very aptly the German wave. Actually, it was common in the New Wave scene, only three chords, but he was a profound musician.
What was his most important character trait?
He was always an intense and honest commitment to his art had to be himself, without a designer shirts and mass-compatible flows without compromises. And he could not sell themselves. The Falco could do that, and Hansi, the admired about him.
you keep trying to get him out of the swamp drug ...
Not only I, that have very, very many tries. But you can help is because only by itself. I have therefore Hansi even for a time lost sight of, because I have such faith in him and then had the feeling that he deals lightly with his charisma and the drugs deliberately destroyed his career. Today I know that that was his addiction.
What are the best memories?
This Thursday - madness, that is just as short ago. He was such a good mood. On the other hand, I do not know how he would have packed the tour for the new album. He has aged in the last two years, very. He said to his girlfriend: I think I have not much time. Somehow he seems to have known.
