Just five titles to remind us of Ralphs growing presence, telling tails of love from the depths of his cavernous voice displayed on sounds that could be considered as 'already heard' if it weren't for his insistence in producing them and that strange atmosphere, too far from ordinary to be less than captivating.
Excepting "Devas mi el la urb'" (to leave the city), translated from a text by esperantist railway man Joachim Giessner, it's to the Ralph Glomp / Marcus Pengel pair that we owe the music and lyrics. "Komune" (Together), "Ankoraux revu kun mi" (Keep me in mind), "Se vi amas min ne plu" (If you love me no more), "Ne forlasu la hejmon, Sybille" (Stay home Sybille) take us from a romance in Vilinius to the verge of breakup and a hint to just stay in bed in the morning ..
Ralphs style is definitely difficult to classify and the resulting cocktail, with Esperanto as a main ingredient, would be impossible to invent if it didn't exist and we would certainly miss it without even knowing.
