Atomic Platters 5CD/1DVD-Box & 292-Page-Book
(5-CDs/1-DVD mit 292-seitigem gebundenem Buch) -- Am 6. August vor 65
Jahren veränderte der Himmel über Hiroshima die Welt - für alle
Zeiten. Unglaublich, aber wahr: Die epochalen Geschehnisse führten zu
einer Art 'Atom-Mode' (Atom-Cocktail gefällig... !) und zu
popkulturellen Auswüchsen (Musik, Film, Souvenirs etc.). Der Grund:
Die Amerikaner versuchten auf diese Weise, den unfassbaren Horror
herunterzuspielen, den ihre Regierung über Japan ausgeklinkt hatte.
-- 'Atomic Platters', das Ergebnis jahrelanger Arbeit, ist eine Art
musikalisches 'Manhattan Project'. Es versammelt mehr als 100
authentische Songs aus der Zeit des Kalten Krieges sowie über zwei
Dutzend haarsträubend naive Zivilverteidigungs-Bekanntmachungen aus
der paranoiden Zeit, die uns Atombunker, Überlebens-Kekse und den
Uran-Horror beschert hat; viele dieser Bekanntmachungen werden von
prominenten Künstlern wie Groucho Marx, Bob Hope, Pat Boone und
Johnny Cash gesprochen und/oder gesungen - um nur einige wenige
namentlich zu nennen. - Zu den Künstlern, die auf den CDs dieser Box
über 'die Bombe' und die 'Rote Bedrohung' singen, gehören populäre
Top-Stars wie Bill Haley And His Comets, The Louvin Brothers, Marty
Robbins und Wanda Jackson - aber auch faszinierende Außenseiter wie
The Goldwaters, Janet Greene (die Antwort der Rechten auf Joan Baez!)
und Dr. Strangelove And The Fallouts. Neben der Musik und den
Bekanntmachungen enthält 'Atomic Platters' zwei ungewollt
belustigende, gesprochene LPs (in voller Länge) zum Thema
Zivilverteidigung, die den Menschen auf perfide Weise Angst einjagen
sollten: 'If The Bomb Falls' und 'The Complacent Americans' ('Wenn
die Bombe fällt' und 'Die selbstgefälligen Amerikaner'). -- Aber es
gibt auch reichlich was fürs Auge! Der Kalte Krieg war nämlich eine
multimediale Horror-Show - und die Krönung auf dieser
Atompilz-Unterhaltung ist eine DVD mit neun unfaßbar bizarren
Zivilverteidigungs- und Anti-Kommunismus-Kurzfilmen aus den 50er und
60er Jahren. - All dieses ohnehin schon aberwitzige Material wird in
Form eines 292-seitigen, gebundenen Buches abgerundet: Darin gibt es
fesselnde Bilder aus der Zeit des Kalten Krieges, ergänzt durch einen
hochinteressanten Text von Bill Geerhart - er gehört zu CONELRAD,
einer Organisation, die sich um die Bewahrung und Erforschung der
atomaren Populärkultur kümmert. - Diese einmalige Zusammenstellung
spricht all jene an, die sich angesichts der aktuellen Auswüchse rund
um die Nationale Sicherheit in den USA verwundert die Augen reiben -
und die hören und sehen wollen, wo, wie und wann dieser ganze Irrsinn
begonnen hat. Wir können nämlich 'die Bombe' besiegen...! Mal
wieder.....

(5 CDs/1 DVD with 292-page-hardcover-book) -- 65 years
ago on August 6, 1945 the world changed forever over the skies of
Hiroshima. Incredibly, this epochal event led to all manner of
'atomic' exploitation (Atomic Cocktails anyone ) and pop cultural
strangeness (music, film, merchandise, etc.) as Americans tried to
absorb the enormity of the horror its government had unleashed upon
Japan. -- 'Atomic Platters' is the result of a years-in-the-making
musical 'Manhattan Project' that collects over 100 vintage Cold War
songs and more than two dozen frighteningly na‹ve civil defense
Public Service Announcements (many of these PSAs are voiced by
celebrities such as Groucho Marx, Bob Hope, Pat Boone and Johnny
Cash, to name just a few!) from the paranoid period that brought us
fallout shelters, survival biscuits and uranium fever. - The artists
who sing about the Bomb and the Red Scare on this set run the gamut
from well-known stars like Bill Haley and His Comets, The Louvin
Brothers, Marty Robbins and Wanda Jackson to fascinating obscurities
like The Goldwaters, Janet Greene (The Right Wing's answer to Joan
Baez!) and Dr. Strangelove and the Fallouts. In addition to music and
PSAs, 'Atomic Platters' includes two unintentionally hilarious
full-length spoken word civil defense 'scare' LPs: 'If The Bomb
Falls' and 'The Complacent Americans.' - But why stop with mere sound
The Cold War was a multimedia horror show and 'Atomic Platters' tops
off its mushroom cloud of entertainment with a DVD of nine bizarre
civil defense and anti-Communist short films from the '50s and '60s.
-- Summing all this strange material up is a 292 page hardcover book
featuring numerous arresting images from the Cold War era with
intriguing text by Bill Geerhart of CONELRAD, an organization devoted
to the preservation and examination of atomic popular culture. This
collection is for anyone mystified by the current excesses of U.S.
Homeland Security who wants to hear and see where the madness all
began! You CAN beat the A-Bomb (again).
