In 2010, the festivities accompanying the symbolic thirteenth birthday of SAMSAS TRAUM enter the final stage. After the thirteen relentlessly rocking birthday cake candles on the special anniversary album "13 Jahre Lang Dagegen – Anti Bis Zum Tod" and the triumphant Wishlist tour, the beetle universe unveils the next present, and once more it is a gift for both Alexander Kaschte and his numerous followers.
Under the meaningful moniker "Vernunft Ist Nichts – Gefühl Ist Alles" ('Reason Is Nothing – Feeling Is Everything"), the khaos rockers SAMSAS TRAUM deliver an opulent four-disc birthday box as a companion to their successful birthday album, thus leading the festivities to a supreme climax.
The set features one CD with the original mix of "13 Jahre Lang Dagegen", another with an entirly new mix and a DVD containing numerous live clips. However, it will most certainly be the fourth disc that will provoke wet dreams in the worldwide beetle platoons: under the guise of an exceedingly revealing and enlightening rarities collection, we witness Alexander Kaschte opening the sealed treasure chests and long forgotten dusty archives of his career.
Among the enthralling items of this fourth disc are instrumental demos from both "Heiliges Herz" and "13 Jahre Lang Dagegen", unreleased tracks from these sessions, ancient and never-before released songs like "Schwester Eden" from SCHER(B)EN FÜR RAPUNZEL (the legendary WEENA MORLOCH predecessor), the very first official WEENA MORLOCH demo "Dandelion and His Lady of Sorrow", numerous remixes, the world's most absurd remixes, alternate versions of songs from the "A.Ura" masterpiece, an entirely new interpretation of "Thanatan und Athanasia" and last but not least some of the earliest recordings in the life of Alexander Kaschte.
Packed in a luxurious four-panel DVD digipak in a noble slipcase, a thick accompanying booklet to the ultimate birthday collection offers many unreleased photographs from the eventful history of SAMSAS TRAUM, additional information regarding the anniversary album, as well as exclusive liner notes by Kaschte himself. Strictly limited to 3000 copies worldwide, this is already an historic compendium of one of today's most extraordinary and interesting projects.
