this is the (short) story of a song i once got on tape from sabine jones, my english teacher at university in hannover. she gave it to me in 1996 and the tape almost was running non-stop during my stay at mülheim where i did my second internship.

two years later i still played it at nofrontiere studio (that's what they call the office there) in vienna. at that time, mark lycette heard the song and revealed the band's name to me: the chills from new zealand.

another four years passed by the song occasionally being played at cozy dj sets hosted by klaus makotter or private parties until last week-end hannes wallnöfer hummed the melody again in front of praha holesovice.

btw. before we met in hannover, sabine jones was teaching in prague. unfortunately, we lost sight of each other after she returned to the states. she was up to moving to glasgow later, don't know if she did...

once the song was a mere tune without a name or even just any face, its secrets far from being investigated the easy way. but it became history and today we have the right tools to keep track of our mysterious past. so here are the chills with "pink frost".

the chills made some other pieces of great music as well, including "heavenly pop song", "rain", "rolling moon" (also being on that tape) or "tied up in chain". and probably they are pretty well-known out there and again i just did not have any clue?
