This is a short English text summary of the German acid-gunk music piece
"Essig!".

This piece of music contains a lot of nonsense stuff,because it was ment to
be a drugfree persiflage on acid house music and I was inspirated to it
when my parents had to remove the stains of a water damage in our house.

The word "Essig" means "vinegar" and this is a sort of German pun,because it
is a substitution for the very similar sounding English word "acid",that is
continuously repeated in many acid house records and that is usually associ-
ated with a fatal brain destroying drug.The text contains also many other
sound puns basing on German pronounciation;so it is a bit difficult to trans-
late them directly.

German original:                       English translation:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[spoken]
Igitt! - da is' ja alles Schimmel      Bah! - there is a lot of mould behind
...hinter der Tapete...                ...the wallpaper...
[just looping on the last sylables]
pete pete pete...                      pehte pehte pehte...

Trom... pete pete pete...              trum...pet pehte pehte pehte...

[Trumpet starts to blow.The words "Trumpet" and "Wallpaper" have the same
endings in German.]

[spoken]
Was macht man da?                      What can we do?
Abreissen!                             Tear it off!

(The bassy sound sybolizes the ugly smell rising from the mould.)

[spoken]
Was macht man da?                      What can we do?

Ich hab' Essig in mein' Haus!          I have vinegar in my house!
(This is an allusion to Kid Paul's record "Acid in my House".)

Essig!                                 vinegar!
Essig!...                              vinegar!...
...                                    ...

[door opens,someone says]
Essig,Scheuereimer!                    vinegar,cleaning bucket!

[A loud noise crescends,causing a simulated tinitus with muffled sound per-
ception in the ears, as an allusion to the lemmingishly high volume at that
acid house music often is played by certain people...]

[distorted]
pete pete pete...                      pehte pehte pehte...

[This is a bit like the chant of a magic mantra and so finally the tinitus
goes away.A strange thing is that after the production of this piece of music
I found out that in Esperanto "pete" also means "please".]

[spoken]
Igitt! - 'ne tote Spinne!              Bah! - a dead spider!

pete pete pete...|Essig!...            pehte pehte pehte...|vinegar!...

[The "gunk message" at the song's end says:]
Sauer... macht... lustig!              Sour... makes... happy!


(The clicking percussive sound sequence at the end of a gunk music track 
serves the purpose of finishing the meditation by inhaling deeply and "un-
knotting" the legs from resting in the yogic lotus seat.)
