Aborted At Line 6
Mammut
Aborted At Line 6 was a project that emerged from the inside of a Swiss company which sold electronic equipment and
batteries. Carlos Peron (founder of Yello) sat on the same desk as the later publisher Urs Steiger. The other members
Martin Sturzenegger, Moritz Faccin and Andrea Fuerer sat separately through a glass pane in their own office and sold
TEAK products. Chris Lunch was the only not employed in this company. He was working on some stuff at the Slatt Studio
owned by Carlos Peron. They all had a ritual to drink a bottle of Mumm champagne early in the mornings. Since it was not
allowed to drink in the workplace, the glasses were disguised as a coffee mug and used the winged word "Muemmli".
It's in this situation that Aborted At Line 6 developed into a "crazy idea". They did some recordings in the studio of
Andrea Fuerer and mixed everything in just one go. The equipment used included one 808 Roland Drumcomputer, a Roland
Drumatix, a Roland Bassline, one EMS Synthi A1, a Duke guitar and a Roland SH 3A operated and programmed by Carlos Peron
and Chris Lunch. All this took place in 1982 and a 12" single was released by Off Course Records (home of Grauzone and
Stephan Eicher).
This iconic and very hard-to-find single is re-issued included the original tracks. Limited run of 350 copies on pink
vinyl with a postcard.
