More data about the song "Rúdolf" |
|||
Line 21:
Formed by 12 tracks, ''As above...'' contained English versions of the group’s hits. A song that outstands from the rest is “Killer Boogie”, a work deemed as an attempt by the group to achieve the international market.<br>
“Killer Boogie” and “Rúdolf” are featured again in ''[[Rokk í Reykjavík]]'' (Rock in Reykjavík), a concert compilation released in 1982 with the presence of other renowned Icelandic bands. There is also a video for this compilation which was edited on VHS format only.
"Rúdolf" contains a sample of Hitler saying ''”Around us is Germany. In us Germany marches. And behind us Germany follows”''. It was a fragment taken from ''[[Triumph of the Will]]'', a propaganda film directed by [[Leni Riefenstahl]] in 1934. However, the record inserts credit [[A. Schicklgruber]] as the impersonator of Hittler’s voice.
The remaining songs of this album were never reissued since the masters are believed to be lost. By 2001 Þeyr’s members and friends released a CD titled ''[[Mjötviður til Fóta]]'' which included songs from their second album, ''[[Mjötviður Mær]]'' and the [[single (music)|single]] ''[[Iður til Fóta]]'', both releases from 1981.
