Southern Lands is the debut album by the German synthpop group Cetu Javu , released on January 1, 1990 by ZYX Records .

background

The album was certified to have influences from Depeche Mode . It was produced by Cetu Javu and Matthias Härtl. There were also three tracks recorded by Jan Nemec in 1988 in Studio M in Hanover, “ Situations ”, “Have In Mind” and “Quién Lo Sabía?”. The debut single, "Help Me Now!" (1987), was not included on the CD in the end.

When the CD recordings began, the band was four years old. Two members of the original cast, Martyn Thomas Chadwick and Cord, were no longer part of the party.

With the help of the New Life Soundmagazine editor Sebastian Koch, contact was established with Talla 2XLC and his music label Techno Drome International , which was contractually linked to ZYX Music , on January 20, 1988 . The band signed a two-year record deal and began working on the maxi single "Situations". After some complications during the studio work and various discrepancies with ZYX Records, the third maxi single, "Have in Mind", was released on December 27, 1988, followed in 1989 by "So Strange" and " A dónde ".

The Spanish origins of the singer Javier Revilla-Diez allowed the band two Spanish-language compositions ("Quién Lo Sabía?", Which was first published in April 1988 as the B-side of the title "Situations", and later "Oye"); later the band should focus on Spanish lyrics.

The band toured again, and both Have in Mind and A dónde became hits. The latter song made it to # 2 on the Spanish charts. At that time, at the end of 1989, Stefan Engelke left Cetu Javu and was replaced by Thorsten “Todde” Kraass.

After several delays, "Southern Lands" was released in 1990; it was also the last release on the ZYX Records label. The following works were from now on released on the Spanish music label Blanco y Negro Music and were particularly successful in the Romanic countries such as Spain , Argentina and Peru .

Track list

  • All songs were written by Chris Demere (music) and Javier Revilla-Diez (lyrics).
