Maxim wheel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maxim Rad (* approx. 1957 in Hamburg as Maximilian André Rademacher ) is a German singer, guitarist and composer.

Career

His first band was called The Jackets , with whom he performed successfully in the Hamburg music club Logo. Maxim Rad lived since the 1980s, first in Paris, then in London. During the Neue Deutsche Welle , Rademacher played guitar for Joachim Witt's band and released his first solo album Times Ain't That Bad , a mixture of New York New Wave and British pop. Like Joachim Witt, Rademacher was inspired by the music of the Talking Heads at that time .

He took up his second work, Old , in New Orleans more than ten years later . It was produced by Allan Toussaint and was influenced by R'n'B and soul . The name Maxim Rad no longer stood for the artist alone, but for a whole band: Alexander von Oswald on guitar , Stefan Will on keyboard , Niels Lorenz on electric bass , Neil Conti on drums . Conti had previously played with Prefab Sprout . In 1995 the third album This One's A Killer followed , which was recorded together with Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley in London and again came closer to the electronic sound.

For his work Maxim Rad Is Dead , published in 2001 , Rademacher drew inspiration from a change of location to Dublin, where the album produced by Christoph M. Kaiser was created. It is a collection of sensitive and emotional songs and a mixture of the music of conventional instruments, refined by the possibilities of electronic processing. In any case, each of the albums has its own individuality and can hardly be classified in a musical category.
