On the cover, which is in the style of a record sleeve, you can see a blurred photo of Albino. It shows its upper body from the side with its mouth open and a microphone in hand and has a brown cast. At the bottom left is - in each case in white, "scratched off" capital letters in three lines "ALBINO + 12 FINGER DAN", underneath "NO PEACE" and underneath "PLUS VIDEO AN ALL". The cover was made by Barbara Sander, the photos are by Ralph Pache.

Lyrics and music

Like all of the artist's other releases, this EP is stylistically assigned to Conscious Rap . No peace is the central piece on the album. After Ohnerechte , which Albino published in different versions on his first two albums, Covered & Veiled and Vogelfrei , this is the rapper's second song that deals with animal rights . While the text of Ohnerechte is still largely descriptive, that of No Peace is much more energetic. The listener is asked again and again to ask himself whether he can reconcile the current state in which animals are exploited with his conscience; it is also suggested to change these relationships. Passages are implicitly called to commit animal liberations .

No peace is included in a total of two versions on the EP; in the so-called Mastercut Version and in the 12 Finger Dan Version, each named after their two producers. In between is the so-called No Peace Interlude , which contains a text spoken by Andi Arbeit. This also denounces the way people treat animals. In the form of a "hidden track", Kein Frieden can still be heard as an a cappella version at the end of the EP.

Track list
  1. No Peace (Mastercut Version)
  2. No peace (interlude)
  3. No Peace (12 Finger Dan Version)
  4. Relations (2004 RMX feat. Peryton and Nemo)
  5. Doubtful Voices (Introd. Conchez feat. Maurice)
  6. Gas station

Relations , which appeared on Albino's 2002 album Vogelfrei , is contained in a remix version. It is about Carlo Giuliani , who was murdered by the police and who demonstrated against the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001 . In addition to the guest contribution by Nemo already contained in the original version, this remix version was extended by a verse supplemented by Peryton.

In Doubting Voices and Gas Station , self-reflections are discussed. The former serves to introduce the rap group Conchez , hence the comment "Introd."

Extras

The EP also includes the video for An Alle , which was published on Vogelfrei , as well as the video Reality TV , which uses the remix version, which is also on Vogelfrei , as background music . Reality TV shows animals being mistreated and killed for human benefit.
